5. The cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark ( ) is within the OK
range after fitting the cuff.
Ensure that your arm is not press-
ing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are differ-
ent. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be
used for the measurement.
Important: The device may only be operated with the original
cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to
35 cm.
A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences of 30 to 42 cm can
be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service ad-
dress using order number 162.973.
Adopting the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about 5 minutes. Other-
wise deviations can occur.
• You can take the measurement while sitting or lying. Always
make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
• To take your blood pressure, make sure you are sitting com-
fortably with your arms and back leaning on something. Do
not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain
still during the measurement and not to speak.
• Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measure-
ment.
Selecting the memory
Press the SET button. Select the desired memory space by
pressing the -/+ function buttons. You have 4 memories with
30 memory spaces each to store the measurements of 4 differ-
ent people separately or to separate measurements taken in the
morning and at night.

Performing the blood pressure measurement
• As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the posture in
which you want to perform the measurement.
• Start the measurement by holding the
the display check, during which all numbers light up, the cuff
inflates automatically. Whilst the cuff is inflating, the device is
already establishing measurements for estimating the neces-
sary inflation pressure. If this pressure is insufficient, the de-
vice automatically pumps more pressure.
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is detected.
• When the measurement has been taken, the remaining air
pressure dissipates very quickly. The pulse, the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
