5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the
measurement can begin:
a) Press the START button. 5 beeps will sound and a “0”
will blink. The pump begins to inflate the cuff. In the
display, the increasing cuff pressure is continually
displayed.
b) After automatically reaching an individual pressure, the
pump stops and the pressure slowly falls. The cuff
pressure is displayed during the measurement.
c) When the device has detected your pulse, the heart
symbol in the display begins to blink and a beep tone is
audible for every pulse beat.
d) When the measurement has been concluded, a long beep
tone sounds. The measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values, as well as the pulse, are now displayed.
e) The measurement results are displayed until you switch
the device off. If no button is pressed for 5 minutes, the
device switches off automatically.

4.4. Setting the time and date
This blood pressure monitor incorporates an integrated clock with date display. Time and date are
recorded along with pressure and pulse.
You must enter the date and current time. Proceed as follows (Example: Entering 2002-06-15, 09:30 AM):
1. While the unit is OFF, press the DATE/TIME button for at least 3 seconds. The display now indicates
the set year, all characters are blinking.

first character (month) blinks.
Note: Holding the button down speeds up the procedure.
4. The current month can now be entered by pressing the MEMORY button. (Example: pressing 5 x
advances 5 months)
5. Press the DATE/TIME button again. The last two characters (day) are now blinking.
6. The current day can now be entered by pressing the MEMORY button. (Example: 14 x advances the
day from the 1st to 15th)
7. Press the DATE/TIME button again. The display now switches to the current time, during which the
first character (hour) blinks.
8. The corresponding hour can now be entered by pressing the MEMORY button. (Example: 9 presses
advances 9 hours)
9. Press the Date/Time button again. The last two characters (minutes) now blink.

5. THE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Note: You should always be seated or lying down before and during a measurement.
5.1. Before measuring
• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before a measurement. These
factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair or lying down in a
quiet atmosphere for about ten minutes before the measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Always perform measurements at the same time of day, since blood pressure changes during
the course of the day.
