7. Resting Detector Using HSD Technology
Rossmax HSD (Hemodynamic Stability) technology communicates to a user
if a measurement is taken in the appropriate state of rest ensuring more
correct blood pressure readings. The most common error in blood pressure
measurement is taking the measurement when the users not being at rest

can be affected and incorrect.

12. Using the AC Adapter (Optional)
1. Connect the AC adapter with the AC adapter jack in the back
of the unit.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the socket. (AC adapters with re-
quired voltage and current indicated near the AC adapter
jack.)
Caution: 1. Please unload the batteries when operating with
the AC mode for a longer period of time . Leav-
ing the batteries in the compartment for
a long time may cause leakage, which

3. Replace the battery cover by clicking in the bottom hooks first, then push in
the top end of the battery cover.
4. Replace the batteries in pairs. Remove batteries when unit is not in use for
extended periods of time.
You need to replace the batteries when

2. the START/STOP key is pressed and nothing appears on display.
Caution
1. Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose them together with the
household garbage.
2. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Batteries or damage from old
batteries are not covered by warranty.
3. Use exclusively brand batteries. Always replace with new batteries together.
Use batteries of the same brand and same type.
14. Applying the Cuff
1. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the end of the cuff through the D-ring of
the cuff.
2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The color strip indication should be
positioned closer to you with the tube pointing in the direction of your arm
(Fig. 1). Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at
approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm above the inner side of the elbow joint (Fig. 2).
