4. Preparing the measurement
Inserting the batteries
• Open the battery compartment lid.
• Insert four 1.5V AA (alkaline type
LR6) batteries. Make sure that the
batteries are inserted the correct
way round.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Close the battery compartment lid
again carefully.
• All display elements are briefly dis-
played, 24 h flashes in the display.
Now set the date and time as de-
scribed below.
If the low battery indicator
is permanently displayed,
you can no longer perform any measurements and must re-
place the batteries. Once the batteries have been removed
from the device, the time must be set again.
Battery disposal
• The empty, completely flat batteries must be disposed of
through specially designated collection boxes, recycling
points or electronics retailers. You are legally required to
dispose of the batteries.
• The codes below are printed on batteries
containing harmful substances:
Pb = Battery contains lead,
Cd = Battery contains cadmium,
Hg = Battery contains mercury
Setting the hour format, date and time
It is essential to set the date and time. Otherwise, you will
not be able to save your measured values correctly with a
date and time and access them again later.
There are two different ways to access the menu from
which you can adjust the settings:
• Before initial use and after each time you replace the
battery:
When inserting batteries into the device, you will be
taken to the relevant menu automatically.
• If the batteries have already been inserted:
Press and hold the settings button
SET
on the device
when
switched off
for approx. 5 seconds.
To set the date and time, proceed as follows:
• Select 12h or 24h mode using the function buttons -/+.
Press
SET
to confirm. The year display will start to flash. Set
the year with the function buttons -/+ and confirm with
SET
.
• Set the month, day, hour and minute and confirm each
with the setting button
SET
.
• The blood pressure monitor switches itself off automatically.
Set alarm
You can set 2 different alarm times to remind yourself to
take the measurement. To set the alarm, proceed as follows:
• Press and hold the function buttons - and + simultane-
ously for 5 seconds.
• Alarm 1
is shown in the display, „on“ or „off“ flashes
at the same time. With the function buttons -/+, choose
whether alarm 1 should be activated („on“ flashes) or
deactivated („off“ flashes) and confirm with the setting
button SET.
• If alarm 1
is deactivated („off“), you automatically
switch to setting alarm 2
.
• If alarm 1
is activated, the hours flash on the display.
Select the desired hour using the function buttons -/+ and
confirm with SET. The minutes flash on the display. Select
the desired minute using the function buttons -/+ and
confirm with SET.
• Alarm 2
is shown in the display, „on“ or „off“ flashes
at the same time. To set, proceed as for alarm 1
. The
blood pressure monitor switches itself off automatically.
Operation with the mains adapter
You can also operate this device with a mains adapter.
When doing so, there must not be any batteries in the bat-
tery compartment.
• To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood
pressure monitor must only be used with the mains
adapter described here.
• Insert the mains adapter into the connection provided for
this purpose on the blood pressure monitor. The mains
adapter must only be connected to the mains voltage that
is specified on the type plate.
• Then insert the mains plug of the mains adapter into the
mains socket.
• After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains
adapter from the mains socket first and then disconnect it
from the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug
the mains adapter, the blood pressure monitor loses the
date and time setting but the saved measurements are
retained.
5. Measuring blood pressure
Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right wrist.
Attaching the cuff
Place the cuff onto the bare upper
arm. The circulation of the arm
must not be hindered by tight
clothing or similar.
