The LEDs on the blood pressure monitor and the arrow icons on the
display indicate the range for the measured blood pressure.
If the values for systoles and diastoles are within two different ranges,
the device will display the higher of the two ranges.
Example:
The systolic pressure is within the “Normal” range.
The diastolic pressure is within the “Elevated normal” range.
The measurement computer shows “Elevated normal”.
However, the standard only offers a general guideline. Variances in the
individual blood pressure of different persons are not unusual. Ask
your physician for blood pressure levels that are normal for you and for
levels that are considered dangerous.

Cleaning and maintenance
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If you do not clean the blood pressure monitor properly,
you can damage the blood pressure monitor.
•
Do not use any cleaners or solvents.
•
Do not use any brushes with metal or nylon bristles,
sharp or metallic cleaning utensils such as knives,
hard scrapers or similar.
•
Clean the measurement computer, the cuff hose
and the cuff carefully with a damp cloth.
•
After cleaning, use a soft cloth to dry the blood
pressure monitor.
Changing the batteries
After you have changed the batteries, you must
reconfigure the data format, date and time. The saved
measurements will, however, remain intact.
If the display is blank after you switch on the measurement computer
or the battery indicator or error code “E6” appears, the batteries are
no longer supplying enough energy.
To change the batteries, follow the steps described in the chapter
“Inserting batteries”.
