for 1 to 2 seconds, and then push
the batteries back into the com-
partment. Then you can close the
battery compartment. Now the time
function automatically appears. The

the day and "12" for the month.

3.4 Applying the cuff

Measurement should be taken on

If you are unsure which arm to use,
ask your doctor.
If your cuff is completely open,
thread the end of the cuff through
the metal hoop, so as to form a
loop. In this instance the Velcro
fastener must be on the outside.
Wrap the cuff round the upper arm,
the tube lies in the centre of the
bend of the elbow, pointing towards
the hand.
