Selecting the cuff and connecting it to the TM-2430 PC2 Selecting the cuff Only use genuine CA11, CA12 and CA13 cuffs. Select the correct cuff for the arm circumference printed on it. Connecting the cuff Screw the air connection plug of the cuff tube directly into the air connection socket of the blood pressure measuring device (see figure 1).
Fitting protective covers (optional) If necessary you can also use protective covers to prevent soiling (see accessories on page 25). Apply the protective covers as described below: Protective cover Cuff ➡ Pull the cuff through the loop in the protective cover ➡...
Fitting the cuff ➡ Place the cuff on the bare upper arm so that the yellow marking is lying over the Arteria brachialis. Most people have higher blood pressure in the left arm, which is why blood pressure is measured in the left arm.
Taking readings with the boso TM-2430 PC2 ➡ Once the cuff has been correctly fitted, a test reading can be taken with the boso TM-2430 PC2 using the START/STOP button (the result will only be displayed if the device has been programmed accordingly).
Maximum inflation pressure restriction The boso TM-2430 PC2 has the ability to restrict the inflation pres- sure. See the boso profile manager manual for details of how to do this. Taking a manual reading Patients can start a manual reading in addition to the automatic readings at any time.
Then connect the TM-2430 PC2 to the computer via the PC con- nection cable. Transfer the data according to the instructions in the boso profile manager. You are strongly advised to empty the results memory once the results have been transferred.
24-hour reading has been completed. To avoid data loss, the data stored in the boso TM-2430 PC2 is buffe- red by means of an internal battery, which is automatically charged by the external batteries. A fully-charged internal battery stores data for approximately 10 days.
Charging batteries Place the batteries in the charger and then plug it in. Once the green LED lights up, the batteries are being charged. Completely flat batte- ries take around 42 hours to charge. According to the battery charger manual, it will normally take only around 10 hours to charge batte- ries that have been used to perform a 24-hour reading.

Charging batteries If the device is not used for an extended period (4 weeks or more), set the switch in the internal battery compartment to OFF and remove the external batteries in order to prevent any damage that may be caused by leakage.
