4. KEEP QUIET DURING A MEASUREMENT TO OBTAIN THE ACCURATE VALUES OF
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE WITH THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE. Measure your blood
pressure in the calm and comfortable conditions at the indoor temperature. No
eating an hour before measurement; no smoking, taking tonic agents, alcohol 1.5-2
hours before measurement.
5. The accuracy of blood pressure measurement depends on whether the cuff matches
the size of your arm. THE CUFF SHOULD NOT BE TOO SMALL OR TOO LARGE.
6. Wait 3 minutes between measurements for the blood to restore its circulation.
However, the persons with prominent atherosclerosis due to considerable loss of
vascular elasticity may need to increase the wait time between measurements (10-15
minutes). This also refers to the patients suff ering for long from diabetes. For more
accurate determination of blood pressure it is recommended to make a series of 3
consecutive measurements and to use the average value.
POWER SUPPLY OF THE DEVICE
This device is powered from two types of sources:
1. MAIN BATTERIES:
four AA batteries (1.5V) or ~220-240V supply network
(hereinafter referred to as “power supply”). The main batteries support
tonometer operation (cuff infl ation, measurement and indication of results)
with such functions as current time and date displayed.
2. BACKUP BATTERY:
one CR2020 (3V) battery that supplies power to an internal
clock (time/date) when main batteries fail operating (e.g. in case of replacement
of discharged batteries for new ones).
TONOMETER, CLOCK AND ALARM FUNCTIONS ARE ACTIVATED WHEN THE DEVICE
IS POWERED FROM THE MAIN BATTERIES ONLY. WHEN THE DEVICE IS POWERED
FROM A BACKUP BATTERY, CLOCK AND CALENDAR DATA ARE NOT DISPLAYED.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE REMOVE A PLASTIC GASKET THAT IS FITTED BETWEEN
CONTACTS AND BACKUP BATTERY.
For replacement of MAIN batteries:
1. Remove a support sliding it down off the electronic unit (Fig. 1). Open the battery
compartment cover and insert 4 AA batteries as outlined in the drawing inside the
compartment (Fig. 2).
2. Make sure that the battery polarities match those indicated inside the compartment.
Do not apply excess force when removing a support and battery compartment
cover. Close the battery compartment cover and fi x the cuff support.
