Important! The blood pressure monitor must not be used
to make medical diagnoses but should only be used for
reference. Consult a doctor if your blood pressure rea-
dings seem abnormal. Always follow the procedure spe-
cified in these user instructions when taking measure-
ments.
PREPARING THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
Inserting the batteries
• Remove the battery cover (3) by pushing it to one side.
• Insert two AAA batteries. Check that the batteries are in
the right way round. Replace the cover.
• Change the batteries when the battery symbol (d) is
shown in the display (1).
• Please note! If the batteries are changed in less than 1
minute, you will not need to reset the clock and any saved
blood pressure readings (see below) will remain in the
blood pressure monitor’s memory. If it takes more than 1
minute to change the batteries, the display will show all
symbols for a moment. The blood pressure emits a short
beep and is reset. Any saved blood pressure readings are
deleted. The display then shows the reset time.
Setting the clock
• Press and hold the T button (8) until the year number
flashes on the display. Use the M1 (6) and M2 (7) buttons
to set the year number, and press the T button when it is
correctly set.
• The month number now flashes on the display. (Please
note! The blood pressure monitor shows the month before
the date). Enter the month number in the same way as the
year number, and press the T button when it is correctly
set.
• The date, hour number and minute number now flash in
turn and are set in the same way as described above.
• The display now shows the date (e) and time (f). If you
press the T button briefly, the year number is shown
briefly instead of the time.
OPERATING THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
Preparing for a blood pressure reading
• Sit or lie down for 5-10 minutes before the reading.
• Avoid eating, smoking, exercising, bathing or drinking
alcohol, coffee or tea before taking the reading.
• Do not go to the toilet immediately before the reading.
• Do not take a blood pressure reading if you are excited,
stressed or tense.
• Relax during the reading and do not talk.
Blood pressure reading
• Place the armband (4) on one of your wrists so that the
blood pressure monitor is on the underside of your arm
and tighten it using the Velcro strap. It does not matter if
you take the reading on your left or right wrist. The
armband should be taut but should not pinch. The side of
the armband facing your hand must be 0.5-1 cm from the
hand.
• Place the arm to be measured on a pillow on the table
with the palm facing upwards and the blood pressure
monitor at roughly the same height as your heart.
• Press the I/O/Start button (9).
