Fitting the Blood Pressure Monitor

1. Attaching the cuff to the upper

arm.

• Make sure the cuff is wrapped so

that it is in contact with the skin.

Measurements may be taken
from either the left or right 
arm. However, please take
measurements using the same
arm each time, because there
is said to be a blood pressure
difference of approx. 10 mmH

g

between the left and right. 

2. Fasten firmly, but not too tight.

• Optimally, there should be enough

room to insert one finger between
the cuff and arm.

• Make sure your sleeve does not

get in the cuff.

• Firmly attach using the hook-and-

loop tape.

Positioning on the Upper Left Arm

• Position so that 

the tube extends in
line with the little finger
on the palm side.

Wrap the cuff around
the arm 2 to 3 cm
(25/32" to 1-3/16")
above the elbow.

Positioning on the
Upper Right Arm

Inserting/replacing batteries

1. Slide off the Battery Cover

from the housing.

2. Insert four 1.5 V batteries

(R6/AA), ensuring correct
polarity.

3. Close the Battery Cover.

Batteries must be replaced when ...

• The Replace batteries symbol appears on the display.
• You press the ON/OFF/Start Button and the display screen

goes blank after all displays have come on.

• New batteries contain enough power for about 200 measurements.
• If you do not use the unit for a long time, we recommend to remove

batteries from the main unit to avoid damage by liquid leakage.

• Low temperature conditions can cause battery life to be shortened.
