Preparation for measurement
Connect the tube of the cuff to the plug on the front casing of the blood pressure monitor.
First of all, check that the power packs are inserted correctly. You should always use fully charged power
packs for a new measurement. Alternatively, you can also use alkaline batteries. When inserting the power
pack or batteries, please ensure correct polarity.
Note
Only use the IEM NiMH power packs or alkaline batteries provided. Although zinc-carbon batteries and NiCd
power packs show sufficient voltage during the battery test, the power is often insufficient to take
measurements for 24 hours. The power packs should be discharged and recharged several times before their
first use. Please observe the enclosed operating instructions for the charger.
Switching on
Always check the condition of your blood pressure monitor first before giving it to a patient. This is done by
observing the first notifications on the display of the blood pressure monitor shortly after switching it on.
