Safety instructions The blood pressure monitor SC 6800 enables you to monitor your blood pressure regularly. However, you should never change the treatment which your doctor has prescribed Self-measurement means monitoring, it does not imply diagnosis or treatment. Discuss unusual values with your doctor. Do not change the medication prescribed by your doctor. The heart rate is not a useful indicator of the frequency of a cardiac pace maker.
wrong application of the cuff, use of wrong batteries or use of a rechargeable battery. Repeat a measurement not earlier than after 5 minutes. Care and maintenance Avoid extreme temperatures, moisture, dust and the direct exposure to sunlight. The cuff incorporates a sensitive, air-tight bubble. Please avoid any stress by turning or bending it. Clean the instrument with a soft, dry cloth. Never use petrol, thinner, or similar solvents.
The LC display Troubleshooting and remedies Possible errors which can occur during a measurement are listed in the table below. Message Memory icon Battery icon Error description Pressure is not build up in the cuff. Cuff not applied tightly enough or leaky. Pressure is built up very quickly at the sensor. The cuff is too tight or the bubble sticks. Pump defective or pumping error Correction Diastolic blood pressure The pressure can not be measured due to signal noise.
The memory function The SC 6800 saves up to 85 measurements. Together with each measurement (systolic, diastolic and heart rate), the date and time are also saved. The measurement with the longest residence time in the memory is assigned number 1. All other measurements increment by one until number 85. Then the memory is full. The next measurement occupies memory location 85. The measurement formerly at location 85 changes to location 84 (etc., 8382 .... 21).
Setting the clock After you have inserted the two batteries, you should set the clock. It starts with year “20XX”, „1/ 1“ (for the 1st month / 1st day) and “12:00“ o’clock after every battery change. To set the clock, the device must be OFF. Hold the MEMORY button pressed for about 5 seconds. The year 20XX blinks in the top left corner of the display. Set the year with the 0/I-START button. When the correct year is set, press the MEMORY button again. Now the 1 blinks in the top left corner of the LCD.
