Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part.

When doing so, there must not be any batteries in the bat-

tery compartment. The mains part can be obtained from

specialist retailers or from the service address using order

number 071.19.

• To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood

pressure monitor must only be used with the mains part

described here.

• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this

purpose on the right-hand side of the blood pressure mo-

nitor. The mains part must only be connected to the mains

voltage that is specified on the type plate.

• Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the

mains socket.

• After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains

part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it

from the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug

the mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the date

and time setting but the saved measurements are retai-

ned.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before

measuring.

Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left

upper arm. Blood circulation in the

arm should not be restricted by

tight clothing or other objects.

The cuff should be placed on the

upper arm so that the lower edge is

2 to 3 cm above the bend of the

elbow and above the artery. The

tube should be in line with the

centre of the palm.

Now place the free end of the

cuff snugly, but not too tightly,

around the arm, and fix it with the

Velcro fastener. The cuff should be

fitted tight enough to allow just two

fingers to fit beneath the cuff.

Insert the cuff tubing into the

socket for the cuff attachment.
