Preparation for Measurements
1. Installing / Changing the Batteries
Remove the battery cover and insert new
batteries into the battery compartment as shown,
taking care to observe the proper direction for
each battery. Use R6P, LR6 or similar type
batteries.
If the symbol
appears on the display panel, this means that the batteries are
depleted. Always change all batteries at the same time. If you do not intend to use
the device for longer periods, remove the batteries. Only use high quality,
leakproof batteries with the specified ratings. Never mix new and old batteries or
batteries from different manufacturers.
Note: Used equipment, parts, batteries do not fall within the category of household
waste, and must be disposed of according to the applicable regulations.
2. Connecting the Air Hose
Insert the air connector plug firmly into the air socket.
3. Attaching the Arm Cuff
Wrap the cuff around the upper arm about 2-3
cm (1 inch) above the elbow as shown. Place
the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing
may cause a faint heart beat, and result in an
error.
Constriction of the upper arm caused by rolling
up a shirt sleeve may prevent accurate
readings.
4. How To Take Proper Measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table.
Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or
thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
5. Measurement
During the measurement, the cuff will become very tight. Do not be alarmed
as this is normal.
6. After the Measurement
After the measurement, remove the cuff and record your data.
