is pressed, the unit does not start to measure the blood
pressure. Insert new batteries. Pull on the tab in the battery compartment to
remove the old batteries and then insert the new batteries. Note that the
settings are lost when new batteries are inserted.
BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION:

The individual menu options can be highlighted using the
SELECT

. With a short press of
the
START
button

, you will leave the selected menu option, and the dis-
play will once again show the time/date and the user.
Under the menu option „
MEASURING MODE
“, you can choose between the
standard measuring mode (1) and the 3/MAM mode (3 Measurement Average
Mode).
With the standard mode (1), a single blood pressure reading is taken and
stored. A press of the button
▲
will switch to the 3/MAM mode.
The 3/MAM mode is to be recommended if you suffer from fluctuating blood
pressure. Three successive readings are taken at 15 second intervals, thus
eliminating widely varying readings. In the case of serious deviations, a 4th
reading may be taken. Once measurement is completed, the unit will calculate
and display a weighted average value, thus greatly minimizing the risk of an
incorrect reading.
