7. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move
and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,
the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator AP flashes in the
display.
10.The result, comprising the systolic AL and the diastolic AM
blood pressure and the pulse rate AN is displayed.
11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» BT is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the M-button 9.
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).
If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press
the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up to
a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the
button pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above
the expected systolic value – then release the button.

4. Appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Symbol

This symbol AS indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected.
In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your
actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the
measurement.
Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of
the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and
indicates when the heart rate is irregular.

5. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the display AO show you the
range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
4
within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or
dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to
the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines
(ESH, ESC, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

6. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 9 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» BT and «A», which stands for the average
of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

Memory full

Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 30
memories is not exceeded. When the 30 memory is full,
the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
31st value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been
switched off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
while «CL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.

7. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AT
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you
should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AT will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 5 on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
