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 30 cm. A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences
from 30 to 42 cm is available from retailers or the service
address under order no. 163.246.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
Otherwise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying
down. Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with
your heart.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure
you are sitting comfortably with your arms and back lean-
ing on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet
flat on the ground.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
Measuring blood pressure
• Move the touch screen activation switch to the ON position.
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the
position in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Switch on the blood pressure monitor with the START/
STOP button . After the full-screen display, the most
recently used user memory appears ( or ). To change
the user memory, press the MEM button and confirm
your selection with the START/STOP button . If no but-
ton is pressed, the most recently used user memory is
automatically used after 5 seconds.
• Before the measurement, the last saved test result is
briefly displayed. If there is no measurement in the mem-
ory, the instrument always displays the value .
• The cuff automatically inflates. Cuff air pressure is
released slowly. If a tendency towards high blood pres-
sure is already detectable, the cuff is pumped up again
and cuff pressure increased further. As soon as a heart
rate is detected, the heart rate symbol is displayed.
• Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure are dis-
played.
