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
Switch on the blood pressure monitor with the button. Select
the required memory space by pressing the function key +. You
have two memories (60 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.
Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the posi-
tion in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Using the buttons +, select the user memory 1 or 2. Start the
measurement process by pressing button . After check-
ing the display with all digits lighting up, the monitor will
automatically inflate. Following the self-test, during which all
display elements briefly appear, the measurement begins.
During inflation the device already determines measured val-
ues used to estimate the required inflation pressure. If this
pressure is insufficient, the device automatically inflates by
another.
• 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.
• You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
button .
• The icon appears if it has not been possible to perform
the measurement properly. Observe the section in these
instructions on error messages/troubleshooting and repeat
the measurement.
• The device switches off automatically after 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disor-
ders during measurement and if necessary indicates the meas-
urement with the flashing icon .
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-
tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects
in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The
symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or exces-
sively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things,
by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use
of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be
ascertained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for 5
minutes between measurements and not talk or move during
the measurement. If the icon appears often, please
contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based
on the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your
doctor’s instructions.
