Always measure on the same wrist (normally left). It is recom-
mended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a
patients first visit in order to determine which wrist to measure in
the future. The wrist with the higher blood pressure should be
measured.
Remove any items of clothing and your watch, for example, so
that your wrist is free.
Warp the cuff on your wrist about 0.5 - 1 cm above your hand.
Fit the cuff comfortably but not too tight. The cuff will cover a wrist
circumference of 13.5 - 21.5 cm (5.25 - 8.5 inches).
4. Taking a blood pressure measurement
1. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
2. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Support your arm in a
relaxed position and ensure that the device is at the same
height as your heart. Relax, do not move and do not tense your
arm muscles until the measurement result is displayed. Breathe
normally and do not talk.
Support your arm in a relaxed position and ensure that the device
is at the same height as your heart.
3. The cuff fit check AR on the display indicates that the cuff is
perfectly placed. If the icon AR-A appears, the cuff is fitted subop-
timally, but it is still ok to measure.

4. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,
the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
5. During the measurement, the pulse indicator AO flashes in the
display.
6. The result, comprising the systolic AL and the diastolic AM blood
pressure and the pulse rate AN are displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
7. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
8. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically
after approx. 1 min.).
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant pres-
sure sensation).
