4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected
during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your
normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is
no cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis
(e.g. several times a week with measurements taken daily) we advise you
to tell your doctor. Please show your doctor the following explanation:
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.
3. Always take the measurement on the left arm while in a sitting
position.
4. Remove any items of clothing and your watch, for example, so
that your wrist is free.
5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in
the pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.
6. Fit the cuff comfortably but not too tight. The cuff will cover a
wrist diameter of 13.5 to 21.5 cm (5.25 - 8.5 inches).
7. Support your arm in a relaxed position and ensure that the
instrument is at the same height as your heart.
8. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
9. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move
and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
10. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,
the instrument will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
11. During the measurement, the heart symbol AN flashes in the
display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.
12. The result, comprising the systolic 7 and the diastolic 8 blood
pressure and the pulse
9
is displayed and longer beep is heard.
Note also the explanations on further displays in this booklet.
13. Remove and switch off the monitor and enter the result in the
enclosed blood pressure pass. (The monitor does switch off
automatically after approx. 1 min.).

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant pres-
sure sensation).
