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.
