In severe cardiac arrhythmias (cases
of disturbed heart rhythm), measure-
ments should only be taken in consulta-
tion with a doctor. Due to the oscillo-
metric measuring method, measure-
ments taken with this device may in
some instances be false or fail to pro-
duce a reading (Err).
The monitoring of blood pressure is
extremely important in pregnancy, as
the pressure may be changed by the
pregnancy. The results should, however,
only be interpreted in consultation with
the doctor.

We recommend the use of high-quality
batteries as other batteries or
accumulators could affect the precision
of measurement. Never mix old and new
batteries or batteries made by different
8
manufacturers.
If you do not intend to use the device
for a longer period of time, please
remove the batteries.
In the interests of environmental protec-
tion, used batteries should not be
disposed of in household waste. Please
observe valid regulations when dis-
posing of the batteries or use municipal
collecting bins.
Operation with mains adapter
There is a connecting socket on the rear
side of the device for the mains adapter
(output voltage: 6V DC/600mA). To ensure
measuring precision, please use only a
HARTMANN mains adapter which may be
obtained from your pharmacist or special-
ist medical supplier.

5. Setting date and time

After inserting the batteries the time
function automatically appears. The
flashing year key is then displayed. The
year can be changed using the M1 (+)
and M2 (–) buttons. Save the year by
pressing the START/STOP button.
Next the month is saved. The number
on the right will flash. Use the buttons
as above for setting the year. Repeat
procedure for saving the day, hour and
minute. Each time you change the bat-
teries the date and time must be reset.

6. Applying the cuff

Measurement should be taken on the
naked arm which usually has the
higher blood pressure value.
When using the draw-clamp cuff
thread the end of the cuff through the
metal hoop if necessary, so as to form
a loop. In this instance the Velcro
fastener must be on the outside. Wrap
the cuff round the upper arm, the tube
lies in the centre of the elbow angle,
pointing towards the hand. Take the
free end of the cuff, wrap it firmly round
the arm and close the Velcro fastener.
Wrap the moulded cuff round the upper
arm. The air tube of the cuff lies in the
centre of the angle of the elbow,
pointing towards the hand. Take the
free end of the cuff, wrap it firmly round
the arm and close the Velcro fastener.
Check that the white strip is placed in
the middle of the elbow, on the artery
and that the lower edge of the cuff is
approx. 2.5 cm from the bend of the
elbow (see fig.).
