6) At this point, the display shows "US" or "EU" that indicates the format of date and time (US = 12-hour
format, EU = 24-hour format). Select the format with the "M" key and confirm by pressing the "O/I" button.
7) Press the "O/I" button for 3 seconds to confirm the data and turn off the display.
When you insert or replace the batteries you need to reset the memory zone, date and time as described in
steps 1 to 7.

WRAPPING THE CUFF

1) Open the velcro wrist strap.
2) Wrap the cuff around the bare wrist as shown in the "Wrapping the cuff" figure and block it by closing the
velcro strap. The edge of the cuff should be about 1-2 cm from the palm of your hand, which should be
facing upward, resting on a surface. The cuff should fit snugly around the wrist but should not be pulled too
tightly; leave enough room to insert a finger between the cuff and wrist. If the cuff is too tight or too loose,
the blood pressure readings will be inaccurate.
Never roll sleeves up or the blood flow will be obstructed and the reading will not be accurate.
Make sure that the supplied cuff (13.5 – 21.5 cm) corresponds to the wrist circumference.
PROPER READING METHOD
For accurate blood pressure readings, follow these instructions:
1) Sit down, relax and keep still for at least 5 minutes before taking the reading.
2) Remove sleeves and jewellery from the arm and wrist before applying the cuff.
3) Avoid eating, smoking, drinking and exercising before taking the reading.
4) Always use the same arm (preferably the left one) to take the reading. Rest the arm on a hard surface so
that the cuff is level with the heart. Use the case or similar object to support the forearm. The arm must be
stretched out and relaxed. When the reading is being taken, do not move any part of the body or the blood
pressure monitor.
5) Rest both feet on the floor without crossing legs or feet.
6) Readings should always be taken at the same time to allow a comparison of blood pressure
readings.
7) Do not rely on a single reading. We recommend taking at least two readings at least 10/15
minutes apart. It is important to rest the arm during this time as blood congestion may result in
false readings.
8) If unpleasant sensations are experienced during a reading, immediately turn the device off using the "O/I"
button.

TAKING A READING

1) Keep the "O/I" key pressed until you hear an acoustic signal. On the display, all function symbols switch on,
just for few seconds. The symbol " " indicates that the device is ready for the measurement. If there is
still air in the cuff from the previous reading, the "
2) The cuff will automatically inflate and will stop when it reaches the right level. Try to stay relaxed, without
speaking or moving. If the preset pressure (190 mmHg) is considered insufficient or if a hand movement is
made, the device will start inflation over again (until a maximum of 280 mmHg).
3) The cuff will automatically inflate and the display will show the systolic and diastolic pressure, heart rate,
date and time of the reading. The symbol appears only in the event of an irregular heartbeat
(arrhythmia). The segments on the left of the display indicate the classification of blood pressure readings.
4) The device will turn off automatically after about 3 minutes of non-use. Otherwise, it can be turned off by
pressing the "O/I" key. The reading can be interrupted by pressing the "O/I" key.
Make sure the batteries are charged: worn or low batteries compromise the efficiency of the pump,
which is subsequently unable to provide sufficient inflation pressure within the preset time range. For
this reason, the monitor will display the ERR message. Therefore, replace the batteries.

MEMORY FUNCTION

This unit has the capacity to store up to 60 measurements in each memory zone (2 memory zones).
After each measurement, the following values will be stored automatically: diastolic, systolic, pulse rate, date
and time, memory number, segments for classifying blood pressure values (see "CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD
PRESSURE VALUES" section) and the possible presence of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias) (
heart symbol is shown. To recall the stored measurements in the last memory zone selected, you must press
the "M" key. On the display will appear ( ) or ( ). To scroll through the data in memory press the "M" key again
(each press of the key scrolls through the data) and there will appear in succession:
• the word "AVG" which indicates the average of the last 3 measurements
• in the lower right of the display the memory number
• the stored values
The number "60" is the oldest measurement, while the number "1" indicates the most recent value.
Switch off the appliance by pressing the "O/I" button. After more than 60 measurements, the oldest data
are automatically cancelled. To recall the memory area other than the last one selected before the last
measurement, with the unit off it is necessary to hold the "O/I" button for 3 seconds. On the display the last
memory zone selected will flash ( or ). Press the "M" key to select one of the two memory zones and
