The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate the
range of the blood pressure which has been recorded.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two different
WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and diastolic
pressure in the normal range) the graphic WHO classification on
the unit indicates the higher range (high-normal in the example
described).
6. Saving, retrieving and deleting results
• The results of each successful measurement are stored togeth-
er with date and time. With more than 60 items of measured
data, the earliest items of data measured are lost.
• In order to retrieve measurement results again, press the memory
key (M). First the average value of all saved measurements of this
user memory is displayed (Display “A”). If you continue pressing
the memory button “M”, what are in each case the last results
measured are displayed and audibly announced with graphic WHO
classification. You can adjust the volume during the announcement
by pressing the volume key “+” and “-”.
• You can clear the memory by pressing and holding “+” and “-”
simultaneously for 5 seconds after pressing the memory key
(M) and selecting the user.
• If you wish to change the user memory, see “Select memory”.
