If you do not want to use the device for a long period of time, remove batteries from the battery
compartment as they can leak - caustic electrolyte spilled out may damage the device (in which case the
manufacturer’s warranty becomes void). In order to avoid damage, you must follow these instructions:
•
Batteries must be put into the compartment with their correct polarity (+ and -), as marked on the battery
compartment.
•
Never use new and used batteries together.
•
Never use batteries of different manufacturer and type together.
•
Used batteries must immediately be replaced by new ones. If you do not want to use the device for a long
time, remove batteries from the battery compartment.

Blood pressure measurement:
In order to obtain reliable measurements, do not do any strenuous physical activities before beginning
measurements. Rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before taking measurements. Just before or during measurements
do not eat, drink or smoke. Certain irregularities, e.g. changes in heartbeat, fibrillations might cause erroneous
measurement results.
1. Free your forearm by removing any clothes obstructing your arm’s skin, as
the blood pressure meter cuff needs to touch the skin surface. Do not wear
watches, bracelets etc. during measurement.
2. Rest your elbow on a table.
3. Open the velcro of the blood pressure meter and pass your hand through.
Tighten the device by using velcro at a distance of about 1 cm from your hand
as shown in the figure.
4. Turn your palm upwards, hold fingers and wrist in natural position during
measurement. Do not double your fist or let your wrist hang down. During the
measurement hold your forearm with your other hand as shown in the figure.
Blood pressure measurement process
1. Push down the “ON/OFF” button. All the symbols will appear on the display for a short time. This lets you
check the fail safe operating status of the display. After self-test, the sign “0” flashes a few times then the
meter begins pumping up the cuff.
2. The apparatus pumps up the cuff automatically to a magnitude of 190 Hg mm, then it decreases the pressure
gradually. In case of a higher blood pressure value the apparatus automatically pumps the cuff further twice
or three times for the sake of a successful measurement. During the measurement the symbol of pulse
marked with a heart blinks following the rhythm of the pulse.
