of disturbed heart rhythm), measure-
ments should only be taken in consulta-
tion with a doctor. Due to the oscillo-
metric measuring method, measure-
ments taken with this device may in
some instances be false or fail to pro-
duce a reading (Err).
In circulatory disorders or severe
arteriosclerosis, it is not possible to
take a reliable reading of blood pres-
sure on the wrist. In such cases, the
upper arm should be used for measure-
ment.
The monitoring of blood pressure is
extremely important in pregnancy, as
the pressure may be changed by the
pregnancy. The results should, however,
only be interpreted in consultation with
the doctor.

4. Current supply
Open the battery cover on the left side
of the device (see fig.) Insert batteries
(see chap. 13, Technical data), ensuring
correct polarity ("+" and "–"). Close the
battery lid.
We recommend the use of high-quality
batteries as other batteries or
accumulators could affect the precision
of measurement. Never mix old and
new batteries or batteries made by
different manufacturers.
If you do not intend to use the device
for a longer period of time, please
remove the batteries.
In the interests of environmental protec-
tion, used batteries should not be dis-
posed of in household waste. Please
observe valid regulations when dispos-
ing of the batteries or use municipal
collecting bins.

After inserting the batteries the time
function automatically appears. The
flashing year key is then displayed. The
year can be changed using the M1 (+)
and M2 (–) buttons. Save the year by
pressing the START/STOP button.
Next the month is saved. The number
on the right will flash. Use the buttons
as above for setting the year. Repeat
procedure for saving the day, hour and
minute. Each time you change the bat-
teries, the date and time must be reset.
6. Applying the blood pressure watch
Measurement should be taken on the

pressure value. Remove your watch or
other wrist jewellery.

The cuff is designed for wrist circum-
ferences of 12.5 to 20.5 cm. Check
your wrist circumference with the as-
sistance of the red strip at the edge
of the cuff. The point should be within
the marking strip.
The Velcro fastener tip may be used to
tuck away the extra length of cuff.
7. Measuring blood pressure
We recommend that blood pressure
should be taken in the sitting position.
Ensure that the wrist is at the level of
the heart, relaxed on the chest, and
is not moved during measurement. The
other hand may be used to give the
