Panasonic Ew Bw30 Operating Instructions

10English
For	BatteriesThe frequency of use for batteries is approximately 300 measurements 
(3 times per day) with fresh Panasonic alkaline batteries (AAA-size LR03  alkaline batteries). [Measurement conditions: Room temperature 73.4 °F  (23 °C); Pressurized to 170 mmHg; Wrist circumference: 6-3/4˝ (17 cm)]
If batteries other than alkaline batteries are used or batteries are used 
in a cold room, and when measuring a person with high blood pressure, 
battery life may be dramatically shorter.

Do not remove the hook-and-loop 
fastener by twisting it off. 
Be sure to peel it in an horizontal 
direction in alignment with the cuff. 
Fit as shown in the figure.
The cuff can be used on either wrist. 
However, the difference in blood 
pressure between the left and right 
wrists may be around 10 mmHg, so 
be sure to always use the same wrist 
for measurements.

	Wrist	Height	Sensor
About	the	wrist	height	sensorThis is a support function to ensure that you use the blood pressure 
monitor at an appropriate height (same height as your heart). Users with 
a fixed measurement position and measurement environment (height 
of table, height of chair, etc.) can achieve more stable measurement 
conditions by using this function. 
It will estimate the height of the blood pressure monitor wrapped around 
the wrist from the angle of the arm, and notify you of the...
