Setting the date and time
Your aponorm® Professional upper arm blood pressure monitor is
equipped with a radio clock, which is controlled by the DCF77
signal. This time and date are set automatically. If no DCF77 sig-
nal (this is the term for the time signal transmitter) is available,
the time is not adjusted automatically.
The display comes to receiving mode and device sets the time
automatically, if you drag the zip to activate the batteries (or
insert batteries).
If you do not wish to set the time or you want to take a
measurement immediately, exit the time setting mode by
pressing the On/Off button.
Once the time signal is received, the radio clock icon fl ashes
on the display every second until the reception of the DCF77
signal is complete.
While receiving the DCF77 signal, the radio clock icon fl ashes
fi rst with 1, then 2 and then 3 bars above it. When the icon appears
with 3 bars, the time has been set. First the date and then the
time are displayed at the top right of the display. Then the time is
displayed permanently together with the radio clock icon .
The automatic setting of date and time takes about 2- 4
minutes. If no signal is received within 10 minutes, „-: - -“
appears on the display.
Now you need to improve the reception by choosing another
location or set the clock manually (for more information see
„manual setting“). After a change of location, batteries have to
be re-inserted or to reset radio clock to „ON“ to restart the auto
setting again.
Manual setting (if automatic setting does not work or is not desired):
The device must be in standby mode. If you do not press any

If you are pregnant , you should monitor your blood pressure
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a readout value between
150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indi-
cates «blood pressure too high».
The slot-in card
3 on the front of the instrument shows ranges
1-6 in the Table.

If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
