Putting the blood-pressure monitor into operation

4.1. Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the
batteries. The battery compartment is located on the
underside of the device (see illustration).
a) Remove cover as illustrated
b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AA 1,5 V), thereby
observing the indicated polarity.
c) If the battery warning appears in the display, the bat-
teries are empty and must be replaced by new ones.
Attention!
• After the battery warning appears, the device is
blocked until the batteries have been replaced.
• Please use «AA» Long-Life or Alkaline 1.5 V Batteries.
The use of 1.2 V Accumulators is not recommended.
• If the blood-pressure monitor is left unused for long
periods, please remove the batteries from the device.
Functional check:
Hold on the O/I button down to test all the display
elements. When functioning correctly all segments must
appear.

4.2. Tube connection

• Cuff (1-tube cuff + T-connector):
Set up (or check) the tube connections between cuff,
instrument and pump ball as shown in the diagram.

Carrying out a measurement

5.1. Before the measurement

• Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement. All these fac-
tors influence the measurement result. Try and find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quite at-
mosphere for about 5 minutes before the measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Measure always on the same arm (normally left).
• Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the same time of day, since the blood-pressure
changes during the course of the day.
