indicate that the necessary inflation
pressure has been reached, and
that measurement is starting. Then
the measuring procedure begins
with the release of the air.

If you require a higher
inflation pressure, you can
avoid having to repeat pumping by
pressing the blue START / STOP
button again after inflation starts
and holding down on it until the
desired cuff pressure is reached.
This should be approx. 30 mmHg
over the systolic (upper) value.
You can track the measuring
progress via the progress bar. This
increases during the inflation phase
and decreases in the measuring
phase. During the measuring
phase, you will also see the sym-
bols for the two Duo Sensor
Technology measuring methods.
These indicate that the sensors are
functioning correctly. In addition,
the heart symbol shows your pulse
rate, which is also measured.
A long beep indicates the end of
measurement. Then the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure values
appear simultaneously one below
the other on the display as well as
the pulse rate.

Important: You should not
move or talk throughout the
entire measuring procedure! If you
wish to stop the measuring proced-
ure for any reason, simply press the
START / STOP button. The inflation
or measuring procedure is inter-
rupted and an automatic fall in
pressure occurs.
If you see this symbol
the pulse rate, then the device has
detected an irregular heartbeat
during the measurement. But it is
also possible that the measurement
was falsified by body movement or
talking. The best thing to do is to
repeat the measurement. If you
regularly see this symbol when
measuring blood pressure, we rec-
ommend that you have your heart
rhythm checked by your doctor.
