6. Setting the date/time

• With the device switched off, hold down the Mem-
ory button and the Start/Stop button simultane-
ously until the four-digit year appears on the dis-
play (Figure 1).
• Press the Memory button to set the year. Press the
Start/Stop button to confirm the selected year and
proceed to setting the date (Figure 2).
• Set the month with the Memory
button and confirm this with the
Start/Stop button. Set the day in
the same way (Figure 2).
• Use the memory button to set the
hour on the clock and confirm by
pressing the start/stop button.
Follow the same procedure to set
the minutes (Figure 3).

7. Attaching the cuff

Before applying the cuff, check that the circumference of your upper
arm is within the range specified on the cuff. Wrap a tape measure
around the centre of your upper arm when it is relaxed to measure its
diameter. An incorrect cuff size could result in inaccurate readings.
• Expose your upper arm.
• Push the cuff onto the arm until
the lower edge of the cuff is 2-3
cm above the crook of the arm
(Figure 1).

Operating the unit
• The artery mark on the cuff must be placed
over the artery that runs down the inside of
the arm.
• The cuff should not be too tight. You should
be able to insert two fingers between the arm
and the cuff.
• Now pull the free end of the cuff tight (Figure
2) and close the Velcro fastener (Figure 3).
• Check that the measurement arrow on the cuff
is within the "Marking for arm circumference"
on the cuff edge (Figure 4).
• Connect the plug of the cuff to the cuff connec-
tion on the left-hand side of the device. Ensure
that the plug is fully inserted into the device.
Do not force the plug into the hole.

8. Body posture when taking measurements

• Sit at a table (preferably at the height of a
dining table, not a coffee table).
• Sit with your back against the backrest of
the chair.
• Lay your extended and relaxed arm with the
cuff on the table and do not move it during
the measurement; do not talk. The palm should be facing upwards.
• Put your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
