tener. The cuff should be fitted tight enough to allow just two
fingers to fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket
for the cuff attachment.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 24
to 36 cm. A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 34 to
46 cm is available from retailers or the service address under
order no. 162.383.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other­
wise 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.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you are
sitting comfortably with your arms and back leaning on some­
thing. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still dur­
ing the measurement and not talk.
select memory
You have two memories (50 memory spaces each) in order to
save the test results of 2 different people separately, or else
save measurements in the morning and evening separately.
Select the required memory space by pressing the user selec­
tion button .
Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the posi­
tion in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Press the user selection button
zone, and press the
chosen memory zone. After checking the display with all dig­
its lighting up, the monitor will automatically inflate. Following
the self­test, during which all display elements briefly appear,
the measurement begins. During inflation the device already
determines measured values used to estimate the required
inflation pressure. If this pressure is insufficient, the device
automatically inflates by another 40 mmHg (Real Fuzzy Logic).
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured.
• When the measurement has been completed, the remaining
air pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the systolic
and the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
• The device requires approx. 5 seconds to store the deter­
mined measured value.
• You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button .
• To switch off and release the pressure, press the ON/OFF
button again. If you forget to switch off the device, it
switches off automatically after approx. 1 minute.
