the unit
• Take readings while in a seated position.
• Relax your arm and rest it lightly on a surface such as a table.
• Raise your wrist so that the pressure cuff is on the same level as the heart.
• Relax during the measuring process: do not move or talk, as this can affect
the results.

.
• The display will show the “measuring” symbol with the text „
READY
“.
• The cuff will then inflate. The increasing pressure will be displayed symboli-
cally while the messages „
BE QUIET
“ and „
PLEASE RELAX
“ are displayed
alternately.
• Pressing the

during inflation will stop the inflation pro-
cess. The unit switches off and the cuff deflates.
b.
The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by
slowly releasing the pressure built up in the cuff. At the same time, a pulse
curve is shown in the display. The messages „
DO NOT MOVE
“ and „
DO
NOT TALK
“, are displayed alternately, reminding you not to do so while the
reading is being taken.
c.
Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed.
As soon as the pulse can be determined, deflation is synchronised with the
beating of the heart until the measurement ends. During this time the heart
symbol will flash. The measurement is complete when the cuff suddenly
deflates and readings appear on the display under
SYS
,
DIA
and
PUL

automatically be stored under the name of the currently selected user in the next
