Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile
(cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to
electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference
may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially
unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility)
with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2 standard
has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to
electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conforms to this
EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate
strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may
result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe
situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify
correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at
OMRON Healthcare Europe at the address mentioned in this instruction
manual.

11. Using optional accessories
Important notes on using the optional rechargeable battery
• Charge the battery before using it for the first time. The battery is not charged
at the time of shipment.
• Use the optional charger to charge the battery. The battery takes about 3 hours
to charge fully.
• A fully charged battery can be used to operate the device for approximately 35
minutes, when used within the normal operating temperature range.
Note: Limit use to 20 minutes at a time, and allow a 40 minute interval before
using the device again.
• Use the battery until the charge indicator on the main unit lights.
• The battery can be charged approximately 300 times. After 300 charges the
operating capacity of the battery will be reduced to about half its normal
capacity. We therefore recommend that you replace the rechargeable battery
with a new one after 300 charges. (If the battery is charged once each day and
is used for three sessions each day, the battery should last for approximately
one year.)
• Always recharge the battery before using it again. Even if the battery has been
fully charged after the previous use, its operating time can be reduced due to
self-discharge.
1. Charge the battery.
1) Insert the power connector of the AC adapter into the AC adapter jack
on the charger.
2) Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.

11. Using optional accessories
When battery power is low
The charge indicator on the main unit will light
when battery power is low. Please note the
following points about using the device after the
charge indicator lights:
• Stop using the device when the charge indicator
comes on.
• Battery power is low and the device will cease to
operate shortly after the charge indicator comes
on.
Charge Indicator
• To continue using the device after the charge indicator comes on, use the AC
adapter or an alternative power source to power the device.
• Always fully charge the battery before using it again after the charge indicator
lights.
• If the operating time for each charge when using the battery become noticeably
shorter than usual, refer to “About the Memory Effect” below.
If the battery will not be used for a long time
• If the battery is not used for approximately 10 days after being charged, the
battery capacity will be reduced to about half that of normal due to self-discharge
of the battery power. If the battery will not be used for a long time, use the battery
until the charge indicator on the main unit lights (to fully discharge the battery)
before charging it.
About the Memory Effect
• If the battery is repeatedly charged before it has fully discharged, the operating
time possible for each charge will gradually be reduced. This is known as the
“memory effect” and is normal for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. It does
not indicate a battery error or malfunction.
EN
• If the operating time for each charge become reduced, fully charge the battery
and operate the device until the unit stops operating (rather then when the charge
indicator lights) two or three times in a row. This should restore the battery
capacity to normal. If the battery capacity does still not return to normal, replace
the battery with a new one.
