Note:
Please make sure that you have replace-
ment batteries on hand. New batteries
(1.5 V alkaline batteries) have a lifetime of
circa 300 measurements.
When batteries are removed, the internal
clock of the measuring device doesn’t con-
tinue to run, so when the device is used again
after exchanging the batteries or after storing
the device without batteries, the date and
time may have to be reset (see Section 3.4).
3.2 Switching on
Switch on your blood pressure meter by
pressing the On/Off button. Every time you
turn it on, all display elements appear for
about 2 seconds as a function test. Please
make sure that the display elements can
be seen completely, as shown in the gure
on page 4. If a segment is missing, this could
lead to a false display of later measurements.
Note:
If no measurement is started or no button is
pushed within 2 minutes, the blood pressure
meter switches off automatically.
Only switch the device on once the cuff has
already been applied and the measuring
process can begin.
3.3 Conguring the device
Before using the blood pressure meter for the
rst time, or if you would like to adapt the
device to your needs, you must make a few
settings in the settings menu, whereby the
SET, MEM and On/Off buttons are pressed
as described in the following sections.
Pressing the SET button:
The SET button can be found underneath the
On/Off and MEM buttons and is covered by
these two buttons to avoid pressing it by mis-
take. It’s easiest to press the SET button with
a small, at object (e.g. paperclip).
While you are in the settings menu, the but-
tons have the following tasks:
SET button:
When you press the SET button with the
device switched off, you enter the settings
menu, whereby the rst setting which can be
made is the year of the present date. You can
tell which parameter can be set at any given
time by its blinking. If you press SET again,
you proceed to the next settable parameter.
MEM button:
By pressing the MEM button, you can change
the currently blinking parameter until it takes
on a value you desire.
Once this is the case, you can go to the next
