have the measuring accuracy checked by the manufac-
turer at 2-yearly intervals.
Keep these operating instructions available for further

Important information
Advice on use
• Always measure your blood pressure at the sam time
of day, in order to ensure that values are comparable.
• Relax for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
• You should wait five minutes before measuring a sec-
ond time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for infor-
mation purposes – they are not a substitute for a medi-
cal examination! Discuss your results with the doctor.
Never use them to make medical decisions independ-
ently (e.g. regarding medication and dosage thereof).
• If circulation on one arm is restricted as a result of
chronic or acute vascular disease (including vasocon-
striction), the precision of any wrist measurement is
impaired. In this case, use a blood pressure monitor
for the upper arm.
• There may be incorrect measurements where there
is cardiocirculatory disease, as well as with very low
blood pressure, circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia
and other preexisting diseases.
• Only use the instrument on persons whose wrist has
the right circumference for the instrument.
• You may only operate the blood pressure monitor with
batteries. Note that it is only possible to save data
when your blood pressure monitor is receiving power.
As soon as the batteries wear out, the blood-pressure
instrument loses the date, time and the values that
have been stored.
• The automatic switch-off function switches off the
blood pressure monitor in order to preserve the bat-
teries, if no button is pressed within one minute.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument's service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, mois-
ture, dirt, major temperature fluctuations and direct
exposure to the sun's rays.
– Never drop the device.
