Positions of the main unit and the wireless display
Your body reflects infrared
rays.
For the measurement on
your left arm
Face the wireless display towards you
into position within reach of your hand
[within approx. 23⅝ (60 cm)].
* Do not put your hand or any other objects
in front of the wireless display.
•
The main unit and the wireless display
communicate with each other using infrared
rays.
Infrared rays are transmitted from the
transmitter on the side panel of the main
unit, and reflected on your body and then
received on the bottom of the front panel of
the wireless display. The units may not
communicate due to improper positioning of
the wireless display or other environmental
conditions (lighting, sunlight, etc.) In those
cases, place the wireless display closer to
your body.
*
If you place the wireless display where it
cannot receive signals from the main unit,
and then press the On/Off and the Start
button, the main unit starts a measurement
but nothing appears on the wireless display.
* If the wireless display is placed where it can
receive signals from the main unit while the
measurement is executed, results are
displayed.
The same range
(restrictions) as the
measurement on your left
arm is applied.
For the measurement on
your right arm
If the wireless display cannot receive signals from the
main unit, the mark flashes on the wireless
display (on the display panel) as shown in the figure
on the left.
In this case, set the wireless display in the proper
position.
