a pulse, the icon 

♥ 

appears. The reading is taken 

as  the  air  is  let  out.  The  blood  pressure  monitor 
confirms  the  end  of  the  measuring  with  a  short 
acoustic signal. 

 Note 

Do not talk during the measurement. 

You  can  stop  the  measurement  at  any  time  by 
pressing the 

 button. 

 

 Note 

To record the pulse wave, the Tel-O-Graph

®

 BT 

plus  inflates  the  cuff  to  the  diastolic  blood 
pressure  for  approximately  10  seconds  after 
measuring the blood pressure. 

  After the measurement, all the air is let out of the 

blood pressure cuff. The display shows your blood 
pressure and your pulse rate.  

 

 

 

4)  Remove the blood pressure cuff. 

 WARNING

 

Taking measurements too frequently can result 
in disruptions to blood flow! 

Wait for at least 2 or 3 minutes to give your 
arteries time to return to their initial state.

 

6.5 

Stopping the measurement 

1)  If  the  measurement  causes  you  pain,  press  the 

 button during the measurement. 

 The air is let out of the blood pressure cuff and 

the measurement is cancelled. 

2)  Remove the blood pressure cuff.
