At the end of each measurement, the measured pressure data are compared with the above
mentioned table. The segments appearing on the left of the display indicate the classification of
the blood pressure values:
Optimal
green color
Normal
green color
Limit range
green color
High blood pressure (1st level) yellow color
High blood pressure (2nd level) orange color
High blood pressure (3rd level) red color
Measured values lower than 105 mmHg (systolic) and than 60 mmHg (diastolic) indicate a low
blood pressure status. It is suggested to refer to a physician.
CORRECT MEASURING METHOD
Many factors determine variations in arterial pressure: physical exercise, eating,
agitation, changes in temperature and emotional stress.
Daily fluctuations of 25 / 50 mmHg are common.
In order to get an accurate blood pressure reading, follow the instructions below:
1) Sit on a chair, relax and try to keep still for at least 5/10 minutes before taking a reading.
2) Remove clothing and jewellery from the arm or wrist before applying the armlet.
3) Avoid eating, smoking and drinking (especially alcohol) before taking the measurement. All
these factors will affect the result of the measurement.
4) Rest the arm on the table so that the armlet is on a level with the heart. The arm must be

stretched out naturally and must be kept still.
5) Use the case or a similar object to support the forearm.
6) Place both feet on the ground.
7) Remember that the blood pressure changes during the day.
Try to effect more measurements during the day for better understanding the
reactions of your body to the different moments of your day (after a physical
activity, during the job, after the meals...).
8) Do not take only one measurement.
At least two measurements should be taken, wait at least 10/15 minutes between
the two measurements. More measurements, taken over a long period of time
will give you a better indication of your blood pressure.
9) Should an unpleasant feeling occur during the measurement, stop immediately the device
with the "O/I" button.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
• The device must be kept at the same height of the heart at all times; otherwise
it is not possible to get accurate measurements.
• This unit is designed to measure adult pressure values to be used for people of
18 years and over. If this instrument is applied to the arm of a child, the value
measured may be inaccurate.
Consult your doctor for measuring the arterial pressure of a child.
• We recommend using the left arm for taking the measurements.
• If the appliance is used in temperature and humidity conditions outside the limits
given in the "Technical Features" the readings may not be accurate.
INSERTING/REPLACING BATTERIES
1) Open the battery compartment by lifting the cover.
2) When installing or replacing the two batteries, insert them in accordance with the polarity
marked.
3) Place the cover back to its position. At this point, proceed with the setting of date and time,
as shown in the paragraph "SETTING MEMORY ZONE AND DATE/TIME".
When the battery symbol appears on the display, the batteries must be replaced as they are
