RANGE SYSTOLIC
Optimal 105 - 120
Normal 120 - 129
Limit range 130 - 139
High blood pressure (1st level) 140 - 159
High blood pressure (2nd level) 160 - 179
High blood pressure (3rd level) beyond 180
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 black
Normal black
Limit range black
High blood pressure (1st level) dark grey
High blood pressure (2nd level) light grey
High blood pressure (3rd level) white
Measured values lower than 105 mmHg (systolic) and than 60 mmHg (diastolic) indicate a high 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.

Instructions and guarantee
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 "ON/
OFF" 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) Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
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 "Date/time setting".
When the battery symbol appears on the display, the batteries must be replaced as they are flat. Remove
the batteries whenever the instrument is not going to be used for a long time.
