Operation Manual

IMPORTANT!

The size of the cuff is instrumental in ensuring accurate measurement results. The cuff has an

appropriate size if the INDEX arrow is placed within the two OK arrows as illustrated below.

If the arrow falls outside this area, another cuff with a different diameter must be used.

Important

• The blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is consequently changing constantly

24 hours a day.

• The measurement of blood pressure can be influenced by the user’s position, condition, or

other factors. To obtain the highest degree of accuracy it is recommended that the

measurement is taken 1 hour after workout, bathing, finishing a meal, consuming alcoholic

or caffeine beverages, or after smoking.

• Before measurement it is recommended that you sit still and relax for 15 minutes. The user

should not be physically tired or exhausted when the measurement is taken.

• The user must not talk or move arm or hand during measurement.

• Read the section ‘Worth knowing about blood pressure measurement’ for further information.

How to measure the blood pressure

1. Choose user 1 or 2 by pressing . When the user number has been chosen, press

START/STOP to confirm the user number.

2. When the cuff is appropriately fitted to the arm, the measurement is started by pressing

START/STOP. Never activate the device unless the cuff is fitted to the arm. All symbols on the

display will flash and the device performs self-calibration for approximately 2 seconds.

4. Pull gently at the end of the cuff so that it tightens easily and smoothly around the arm. The

cuff is secured by pulling the velcro fastener towards the cuff.

5. You should be able to fit two fingers between the cuff and your arm. The cuff should not be

fitted any tighter than this.

6. Relax your body and rest your arm on a table with your palm up so that the cuff is positioned

at the same height as the heart. Make sure that the tube does not bend.

If it is not possible to fit the cuff on the left arm, it can be placed on the right arm instead.

However, it is important that all measurements are carried out on the same arm. If the

measurement is to be taken on the right arm, the artery symbol on the cuff should be

positioned above the main artery. Press the arm’s arteries with two fingers at approximately

2 cm above the elbow on the inside of the arm to find out where the pulse is strongest.

This is the main artery.
