Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
Otherwise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement while
sitting or lying. To carry out a blood
pressure measurement, make sure you
are sitting comfortably with your arms
and back leaning on something. Do not
cross your legs. Place your feet flat on
the ground. Make sure to rest your arm
and move it. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart
level. Otherwise significant deviations can occur. Relax
your arm and the palm of your hand.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
select memory
You have two memories (50 memory spaces each) in order to
save the test results of 2 different people separately, or else
save measurements in the morning and evening separately.
Select the required memory space by pressing the user
selection button .
Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the
position in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Press the User­Switching key to select a memory
zone, and press the key 2x to start measurement in
the chosen memory zone. After checking the display with
all digits lighting up, the monitor will automatically inflate.
Following the self­test, during which all display elements
briefly appear, the measurement begins. During inflation
the device already determines measured values used to
estimate the required inflation pressure. If this pressure is
insufficient, the device automatically inflates by another
40 mmHg (Real Fuzzy Logic).
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the
pulse is measured.
• When the measurement has been completed, the remain­
ing air pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the
systolic and the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
• The device requires approx. 5 seconds to store the deter­
mined measured value.
• You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing
the ON/OFF button .
• To switch off and release the pressure, press the ON/OFF
button again. If you forget to switch off the device, it
switches off automatically after approx. 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!
