The instrument also indicates the pulse rate (the number of times
the heart beats in a minute).
Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your
health and must be treated by your doctor!
Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if you
have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely on
single blood pressure readings.
A number of factors can affect the accuracy of measurements

measurement taken on the upper arm. We therefore advise you to
compare these values with those produced by the upper arm
measurement and discuss them with your doctor.
Enter your readings in the enclosed blood pressure diary. This
will give your doctor a quick overview.

ment where appropriate. Besides medication, relaxation techniques,
weight loss and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any
drugs prescribed by your doctor!
Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is
subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses.
You should
therefore take your measurements in the same quiet conditions
and when you feel relaxed!
Take at least two measurements per
day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession
to produce significantly different results.
Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in the
pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as these
situations are completely different.
Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than just
one single measurement.
Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure very
closely as it can change drastically during this time!
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
«Section 4.»), measurements taken with this instrument should
only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency
of heart pacemakers!

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. Example:
a readout value between 150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indicates «blood
pressure too high».
2. Using the Instrument for the First Time
Activating the fitted batteries
Pull out the protective strip from the battery compartment 3.
Setting the date and time
1. After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the
display. You can set the year by pressing the M-button 5. To
confirm and then set the month, press the time button 6.
2. Press the M-button to set the month. Press the time button to
confirm and then set the day.
3. Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.
4. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the time button, the
date and time are set and the time is displayed.
5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the time
button down for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts to
flash. Now you can enter the new values as described above.
3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this
Instrument
Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the measurement.
4
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.
3. Always take the measurement on the left arm while in a sitting position.
4. Remove any items of clothing and your watch, for example, so that
your wrist is free.
5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in the
pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.
6. Fit the cuff comfortably but not too tight. The cuff will cover a wrist
diameter of 13.5 to 21.5 cm (5.25 - 8.5 inches).
7. Support your arm in a relaxed position and ensure that the instru-
ment is at the same height as your heart.
8. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
9. 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.
10.When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,
the instrument will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
11.During the measurement, the heart symbol AN flashes in the
display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.
12.The result, comprising the systolic 7 and the diastolic 8 blood
pressure and the pulse 9 is displayed and longer beep is heard.
Note also the explanations on further displays in this booklet.
13.Remove and switch off the monitor and enter the result in the
enclosed blood pressure pass. (The monitor does switch off automatically after approx. 1 min.).
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).
4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected
during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your
normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is
no cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis
(e.g. several times a week with measurements taken daily) we advise you
to tell your doctor. Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse
irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears more
frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements performed
daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
5. Data Memory
At the end of a measurement, this instrument automatically stores
each result, including date and time.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 5 briefly, when the instrument is switched off.
The display first shows «M» AL and then a value, e.g. «M 17». This
means that there are 17 values in the memory. The instrument then
switches to the last stored result.
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
When the memory has stored 200 results, the memory is full.
From this point onwards, a new measured value is stored by
overwriting the oldest value.
Clearing all values
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the instrument 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.

How not to store a reading
Press the ON/OFF button 1 while the reading is being displayed.
Keep the button pressed until «M» AL is flashing and then release it.
Confirm by pressing the M-button again.
6. Setting the Alarm Function
This instrument allows you to set 2 alarm times at which an alarm
signal will then be triggered. This can be a useful aid, for instance as
a reminder to take medication.
1. To set an alarm time, press the time button 6 (the instrument
must have been switched off beforehand) and immediately afterwards the M-button 5 and hold both down until the bell symbol
AK appears in the bottom left of the display. Then release both
buttons. The flashing «1» in the display indicates that the first
alarm time can now be set.
2. Press the time button to set the hours – the hour display flashes
and pressing the M-button allows you to set the alarm hour. To
confirm, press the time button.
3. The minute display will now flash. The minutes can be set using
the M-button. To confirm, press the time button again.
4. The bell symbol will now flash. Use the M-button to select whether
the alarm time is to be active (bell) or inactive (crossed-out bell).
To confirm, press the time button.

button 1.
To permanently switch off the alarm, proceed as above and select the
crossed-out bell symbol. This will then disappear from the display.
The alarm times must be re-entered each time the batteries are
replaced.
7. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AO
will flash as soon as the instrument is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the instrument will continue to measure reliably,
you should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AO will flash as soon
as the instrument is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 3 by pulling off the cap.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in «Section 2.».
The memory retains all values although date and time (and
possibly also set alarm times) must be reset – the year number
therefore flashes automatically after the batteries are replaced.
Use 2 new, long-life 1.5V, size AAA batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the instrument is not going to be used for
a prolonged period.
Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this instrument using rechargeable batteries.
Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.
Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the
instrument as they may become damaged (total discharge as
a result of low use of the instrument, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not intend
to use the instrument for a week or more.
Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.
