6. The result, comprising the systolic AK and the diastolic AL blood
pressure and the pulse rate AM is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
7. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
8. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically
after approx. 1 min.).

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).

This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.

Manual inflation

In case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135 mmHg),
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press the ON/
OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up to a level of
approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the button pressed
until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic
value – then release the button.

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» AP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the time button 4.

«CL» is displayed when the reading is deleted from the
memory successfully.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display AO points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The
value is either within the optimum (white), elevated (hatched gray)
or high (black) range. The classification corresponds to the
following ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, AHA,
JSH). Data in mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure >135
too high
2. blood pressure 130 - 135 80 - 85
elevated
3. blood pressure <130
optimum
3
>85 Seek medical
advice
Self-check
<80 Self-check
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».

Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia (PAD)

This symbol BT indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.

4. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» AP and «A», which stands for the average
of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit AR-A are
not considered in the average value.

Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 30
memories is not exceeded. When the 30 memory is full,
the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
31st value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been
switched off beforehand) until «CL ALL» appears and then
release the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the
time button while «CL ALL» is flashing. Individual values cannot
be cleared.

Cancel deletion: press ON/OFF button 1 while «CL ALL»
is flashing.
