When the date/time function is activated, the time is also shown
in the display when the unit is switched off.

7. Attaching the cuff

Before putting on the cuff, please check whether your arm
circumference is within the range specified on the cuff. An incor-
rect cuff size can lead to inaccurate readings.
• Expose the upper arm.
• Push the cuff onto the arm (Fig. 1)
until the lower edge of the cuff is
2-3 cm above the crook of the arm
(Fig. 2).
• When using the unit on the left arm,
the air hose runs to the unit through
the middle of the arm so that the 4
cm long artery marking is automat-
ically located centrally above the
pulse position (Fig. 3).
• When using the unit on the right
arm, the cuff must be rotated to the
left until the artery marking is on
the pulse position. The air hose then
runs along the inside of the upper
arm (Fig. 4).

Operating the unit
• The cuff should be tightened to such
an extent that 2 fingers can still be
inserted between arm and cuff. Tip:
– Bend your arm slightly.
– The upper arm muscle is ten-
sioned slightly.
– This slightly increases the circum-
ference of the arm.
• Now pull the free cuff end tight and close the Velcro fastener
(Fig. 5)
• Check if the measurement arrow on the cuff is inside the
"marking for arm circumference" at the edge of the cuff.
• Lay your extended and relaxed arm with the cuff on the
dining table and do not move it during the measurement; do
not talk. The palm should be facing upwards.
• Connect the cuff connector to the cuff socket on the left-
hand side of the unit. Make sure the connector is fully
inserted into the unit.

8. Body posture when taking measurements

Whenever possible, measurements should be taken while
sitting. In exceptional cases it is also permitted to take measure-
ments while lying down. Body posture must be relaxed.
Measurement while sitting
• For this purpose, sit at a table (if possible the height of a
dining table, not a coffee table!).
