Press and hold the START button for more than 10 seconds then release it when
two horizontal segments appear on the LCD, this way the OMRON M24/7 will be
switched off. If you do not release the button in 2 seconds after the two horizontal
segments appeared, the monitor will return to normal operation. This feature helps
to avoid unintended power-off. The device can only be switched on manually.
While the monitor is switched off normal functions are not available, even
prescheduled measurements will not be triggered. Therefore, only in case
