INDICATION OF ARRHYTHMIA
The fl ashing symbol « », appeared on the
display reports on an irregular heartbeat
rhythm (Fig. 16). If this symbol appears
from time to time, refer to your doctor. The
arrhythmia indicator occurrence can be also
caused by body movements in the course of
the measurement.
INDICATION OF READINGS BY THE WHO SCALE
In addition to pressure numerical values, the
result is also displayed as a graphic scale. This
scale makes it possible to classify the obtained
blood pressure value in accordance with the
World Health Organization recommendations.
The scale appears along with the numerical
value of blood pressure in the lower right cor-
ner of the display (Fig. 17).

Indication of Pulse Pressure
This device calculates and displays the pulse pressure value (Fig. 18). Pulse pressure – a
diff erence between the systolic and diastolic pressures – tends to increase with aging.

Systolic blood pressure continues to increase
with aging, while diastolic blood pressure tends
to decrease since the age of about 50 years.
It is considered that a high pulse pressure is
related to poor elasticity of arteries and is
one of the risk factors for circulatory diseas-
es. Pulse pressure is considered to be normal
when it attains 35±10 mm Hg.
MEMORY FUNCTOIN
The measured values are automatically saved for later viewing in the selected
memory unit. These memory units can be used to save separately the measurement
results of two diff erent persons or to save separately the results of morning and
evening measurements.
Each unit can keep up to 60 measurement results and the average value thereof.
When the number of kept values exceeds 60, the oldest readings are deleted to
record new values.
Saved values are kept with the measurement date and time, if set. If you want to
save time and date together with the measurement values, date and time should be
set before the measurement.
When an error occurs (ERR), the measurement results are not saved.
Viewing the Saved Data
1. Turn off the device by pressing the START/STOP
button. To view the results stored in the memory
unit 1, press , and to view the results stored in the
memory unit 2, press . The selected memory unit
will be underlined on the display.
The display shows the average value of stored
results indicated with index « » (Fig. 19). Average
value is displayed when the selected memory unit
contains two or more saved measurement results.
2. Each time you press the
saved measurement results will be displayed in a
sequential manner.
