button pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above
the expected systolic value – then release the button.
4. Appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Symbol
This symbol
BT
indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected.
In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your
actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the
measurement.
5. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display
AP
points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The
value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or high
(red) range. The classification corresponds to the following ranges
defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in mmHg.
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of
140/80
mmHg or a value of
130/90
mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
6. Data Memory
This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button
AT
briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «
M
»
BK
and «
A
», which stands for the average
of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
Memory full

Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 30
memories is not exceeded.
When the 30 memory is full,
the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
31st value.
Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been
switched off beforehand) until «
CL
» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
while «
CL
» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.
7. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AK
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you
should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol
AK
will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment
5
on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in
«Section 2.».

The memory retains all values although date and time must
be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically
after the batteries are replaced.
Which batteries and which procedure?

Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AA alkaline batteries.
 Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.

Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a
prolonged period.
Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of
the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and
indicates when the heart rate is irregular.
