arately, or else save measurements in the morning and even-
ing separately.
Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the
position in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Select user memory 1 or 2 using the function buttons –/+.
Start the measurement process by pressing ON/OFF but-
ton . Following the display check, during which all display
elements are visible, the cuff inflates automatically. Following
the self-test, 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.
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured. As soon as a pulse is found, the pulse symbol
is displayed.
• 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.
• Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing the
button.
• The _ icon appears if it has not been possible to perform
the measurement properly. Observe the section in these
instructions on error messages/troubleshooting and repeat
the measurement.
• The device switches off automatically after 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!

Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:

This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disor-
ders during measurement and if necessary indicates the meas-
urement with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-
tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects
in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The
symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or exces-
sively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things,
by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use
of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be
ascertained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon

minutes between measurements and not talk or move during
the measurement. If the icon
tact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based on
the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doc-
tor's instructions.

WHO classification:

According to WHO Guidelines/Definitions and the latest find-
ings, the test results can be classified and evaluated according
to the following chart:
The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded. If
the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two differ-
ent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and
diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic WHO clas-
