4.3. Setting the Time and Date
To set the time and date press the Set Time/Date button and hold it down for five seconds. When you
let go the number you'll see a flashing four digit number (probably 2001 or 2002 to 2006). This number
represents the year. Use the MEMORY key to scroll up (you cannot scroll backwards so scroll slowly) to
the correct year. When you reach the correct year stop scrolling and press the Set Time/Date button to
set the year.
After doing this the number flashing will be the month. Again, use the MEMORY key to scroll to the ap-
propriate month and stop scrolling then press the Set Time/Date button to set the month and move on-
to setting the day. Use the MEMORY key to scroll up to find the correct day of the month and press the
Set Time/Date button to set it.
Now that you've set the correct date, the number flashing will represent the time. The first two digits
are the hour. Use the MEMORY button to scroll through the hours. Note that for morning hours before
noon, there is no AM displayed but after noon PM will display. Again, scroll through the time using the
MEMORY button to scroll and the Set Time/Date button to set the time.
5. Measurement Procedure
Please note: You should always be seated before and during measurement
5.1. Before the measurement:
• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement. These fac-
tors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmos-
phere for about ten minutes before measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Always perform measurements at the same time of day, since the blood pressure changes during
the course of the day.
