10.The result, comprising the systolic AL and the diastolic AM
blood pressure and the pulse rate AN are displayed. Note also
the explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button or open the cuff (e.g. if you feel uneasy or
an unpleasant pressure sensation).
If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually.
Press the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been
pumped up to a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the
display). Keep the button pressed until the pressure is
about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic value – then
release the button.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» AS is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the M-button 2.
It is not possible to delete individual readings later.
5. Traffic light indicator in the display
The bars on the left-hand edge of the traffic light display BM show
you the range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
within the normal (white), borderline (gray) or danger (dark gray)
range. The classification corresponds to the 6 ranges in the Table
as defined by the WHO, as described in «Section 1.»
6. Data memory
This device automatically stores the last 99 measurement values.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 2 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» AS, and «A»which stands for the average
of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99
memories is not exceeded. When the 99 memory is full,
the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
100. value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been
switched off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the Time button
while «CL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.
7. Battery indicator and battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AQ will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled
battery displayed). Although the device will continue to measure
reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery - replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AQ will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 9 at the back of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in Section
«3. Using the device for the first time».
The memory retains all values although date and time must
be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically
after the batteries are replaced.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AA alkaline batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a
prolonged period.
