Correct posture

• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
Otherwise 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.

button .
• Before the measurement, the last saved test result is brief-
ly displayed. If there is no measurement in the memory,
the instrument always displays the value .
• The cuff automatically inflates. Cuff air pressure is re-
leased slowly. If a tendency towards high blood pressure
is already detectable, the cuff is pumped up again and
cuff pressure increased further. As soon as a heart rate is
detected, the heart rate symbol
• Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure are dis-

defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.
The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or
