Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part (not included
in delivery). The mains part can be obtained from specialist re-
tailers or from the service address using order number 071.95.
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 bat-
teries in the battery compartment, as this could damage the
device.
• To avoid any potential damage, the device may only be oper-
ated with a mains part that meets the specifications outlined
in Section "11. Mains part".
• Furthermore, the mains part must only be connected to the
mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• First, remove the protective cap of the mains part connec-
tor – located on the rear of the device – and insert the mains
part into the connection intended for this purpose.
• 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 measurements 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.

5.1 Positioning cuff

Place the cuff onto the 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 tighten the free end of the cuff,
but make sure that it is not too tight
around the arm and close the
hook-and-loop fastener. The cuff
should be fastened so that two fingers
fit under the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket
for the cuff attachment.
