Correct posture
Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other-
wise there may be divergences.
You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying
down. Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with your
heart.
In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
Select memory
Switch on the device with the
switched off only the clock in the display is shown. After the
announcement you can select the desired memory space by
pressing the + or - volume button.
Two memories with 60 memory spaces each are available to
save the measurement results of two different people sepa-
rately or to save morning and evening measurement values
separately.
Measuring blood pressure
Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the po-
sition in which you want to carry out the measurement.
Start the measurement process by pressing ON/OFF button
. After checking the display with all digits lighting up, the
monitor will automatically inflate. Following the self-test, dur-
ing which all display elements briefly appear, the measure-
button. When the device is
ment begins. During inflation the device already determines
measured values used to estimate the required inflation
pressure. If this pressure is insufficient, the device automati-
cally inflates by another 40 mmHg (Real Fuzzy Logic).
Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured.
When the measurement has been completed, the remain ing
air pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the systolic
and the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
You can adjust the volume during the announcement by
pressing + and -.
You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button .
The icon appears if it has not been possible to
perform the measurement properly. Observe the section in
these instructions on error messages/troubleshooting and
repeat the measurement.
The device switches off automatically after 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia
disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates the
measurement with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-
tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects
in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The
symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or exces-
sively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things,
by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use
