The tube must run centrally along the inside of the

above the crook of your arm.

– Carrying out a reading
-
Sit comfortably on a chair and place your elbows
on the table.
-
The arm cuff should be the same height as your
heart.
-
Relax your arm and turn the palm of your hand
upwards.
-
Place your feet flat on the floor and place your
legs next to each other.
-
Press the
START
button to start a reading. The
start of a reading is confirmed by a signal tone.
-
During your first reading, the cuff pumps up
gradually in order to determine the pressure
necessary for calculating your systolic blood
pressure.
-
During every further reading, it is immediately
pumped up to the systolic blood pressure value
that has already been determined.
-
After pumping up, the pressure is gradually
released.
-
A reading can be cancelled at any time by pushing
the
START
button again. The air is automatically
released!

– Transferring the data
10
– Information
-
After your blood pressure values have been
measured, these appear on the display.
-
Take off the arm cuff. The blood pressure reading
has ended.
-
Following this, the blood pressure measuring
device establishes a connection to the mobile
phone network (
Y
).
-
As soon as the mobile connection is established
(the symbol -
G
- appears on the display), the
readings are transferred (
).
-
A signal tone confirms the measurement values
have been successfully transferred.
-
If the blood pressure values are not successfully
transferred, an error message appears on the
display. Note down the error code.
-
The blood pressure values remain saved in the
measuring device and are transferred after the
next blood pressure reading.
-
When changing the batteries take care to insert
the batteries with the correct polarity and when
inserting them, do not press or hold down the
START
button.
