The year flashes on the display.
• Set the year with the function buttons -/+ and con-
firm with the SET button.
• Set the month, day, hour and minute and confirm
each setting with the SET button.
When making settings, you can use the START/STOP
button at any time to switch the device off. The set-
tings that have already been performed will be retained.
Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part (not includ-
ed in delivery). However, before connecting the device with the
mains part, please ensure that you have removed the batteries
from the device. During mains operation, there must not be any
batteries in the battery compartment, as this could damage the
device. The mains part can be obtained from specialist retailers
or from the service address using order number 071.95.
• To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood pres-
sure monitor must only be used with the mains part de-
scribed here.
• Furthermore, the mains part must only be connected to the
mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the mains
socket.
• After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains
part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from
the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug the
mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and
time setting but the saved measured values are retained.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before meas-
uring. The measurement can be performed on the left or right
arm.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare upper arm.
Blood circulation in the arm should not
be restricted by tight clothing or other
objects.
The cuff should be placed on the
upper
arm so that the lower edge is 2 to 3 cm
above the bend of the elbow and
above the artery. The tube should be in
line with the centre of the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around the
arm, and fix it with the Velcro fastener.
The cuff should be fitted tight enough
to allow just two fingers to fit beneath
the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket
for the cuff attachment.
