Measurement while lying down
• Rest your back against the backrest of
the chair.
• Rest your forearm completely flat, with
the palm of your hand facing upwards.
• Lie on your back. Look up at the ceiling
during the measurement. Remain calm
and do not move.
• Place your feet on the floor and do not
cross your legs.
9. Measuring blood pressure
• Switch on the unit by pressing the Start/
Stop button. The following display is visible
(Fig. 1):
• After the unit has completed its calibration
against the ambient air pressure (Fig. 2),
the cuff is automatically inflated to approx.
180 mmHg (Fig. 3). If that cuff pressure
is not sufficient for measuring the blood
• For an inflation pressure exceeding 180
mmHg the inflation process can also be
controlled manually: Press the Start/
Stop button once again after the inflation
has started and release it when the cuff
pressure has reached 40 mmHg above
the expected maximum systolic blood
pressure. The inflation stops with releas-
ing the button.

• Make sure that the measuring point on the upper arm
is approximately at the level of your heart. A measuring
point lower than the heart may result in a higher reading. A
measuring point higher than the heart may result in a lower
reading.
• The actual measurement takes place with
the start of deflation (Fig. 4). The sym-
bol in the display flashes until the pulse
frequency is displayed.

pressure level, the device automatically
increases the cuff pressure in steps of 30
mmHg until a sufficient cuff pressure has
been reached.
• A long beep signals the end of measure-
ment, and the cuff automatically deflates.
The determined values of systole, diasto-
le and pulse and the pulse pressure (PP)
are shown alternately in the display. (Fig.
5, Fig. 6)
• The unit switches off automatically after
about 3 minutes.
