対処方法

Replace the battery with a new one (006P 9V). (For the simple check method after replacement, click here.)

If the malfunction continues even after replacing the old battery with a new one:
Send it to the place of purchase for repair.
* We recommend that you should make sure that no abnormalities are found in the wrist strap before sending it in for repair.

* Clearly stipulate “repair only” or “repair and calibration” when sending it in for repair.
