Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other-
wise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying down.
Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with your heart.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still dur-
ing the measurement and not talk.
Select memory
Switch on the device with the
button. When the device is
switched off only the clock in the display is shown. After the
announcement you can select the desired memory space by
pressing the “+” or “-” volume button.
Two memories with 60 memory spaces each are available to save
the measurement results of two different people separately or to
save morning and evening measurement values separately.
Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the posi-
tion in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Start the measurement process by pressing ON/OFF button
.
After checking the display with all digits lighting up, the monitor
will automatically inflate. Following the self-test, during which
all display elements briefly appear, the measurement begins.
During inflation the device already determines measured values
used to estimate the required inflation pressure. If this pres-
sure is insufficient, the device automatically inflates by another
40 mmHg (Real Fuzzy Logic).
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured.
• When the measurement has been completed, the remain ing air
pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the systolic and
the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
• You can adjust the volume during the announcement by press-
ing “+” and “-”.
• You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button
.
• The
icon appears if it has not been possible to per-
form the measurement properly. Observe the section in these
instructions on error messages/troubleshooting and repeat the
measurement.
• The device switches off automatically after 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disorders
during measurement and if necessary indicates the measurement
with the flashing icon
.
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition
where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects in the
bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The symptoms
(omitted or premature heart beats, slow or excessively fast heart
rate) may be caused, among other things, by heart disease, age,
physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress or
lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascertained through ex-
amination by your doctor.
