Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part. When do-
ing so, there must not be any batteries in the battery compart-
ment. 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 pres-
sure monitor must only be used with the mains part de-
scribed here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this
purpose on the right-hand side of the blood pressure moni-
tor. 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 measured values are retained.
5. Measuring blood pressure
Please ensure the device is at room temperature before meas-
uring.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left upper
arm. Blood circulation in the arm
should not be restricted by tight cloth-
ing 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.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of
22 to 35 cm.
A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 30 to 42 cm is
available from retailers or the service address under order no.
