Mains operation
You can also operate this device with a mains adapter. No
batteries should be in the battery compartment for this. The
mains adapter is available from retailers or from the service
address under order no. 071.19. The blood pressure moni-
tor should only be used with the mains adapters specified
here. The mains adapter should only be connected to the
mains voltage indicated on the rating plate. Once you have
disconnected the device from the mains, the date and time
on the blood pressure monitor are lost. Any measurement
results that have been stored are however retained.
5. Measuring blood pressure
Please ensure the device is at room temperature before
measuring.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left
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 fin-
gers to fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the
socket for the cuff attachment.
Important: The instrument should
only be operated with the original
cuff. The cuff is suitable for an
arm circumference of 22 to 30
cm. A larger cuff for upper arm
circumferences from 30 to 42 cm
is available from retailers or the service address under order
no. 162.796.
