4.3. Tube connection
Insert the cuff tube into the opening provided on the left
side of the instrument, as shown in the diagram.
4.4. Setting the Time and Date
To set the time and date press the Set Time/Date button
and hold it down for five seconds. When you let go the
number you'll see a flashing four digit number (probably
2001 or 2002 to 2006). This number represents the year.
Use the MEMORY key to scroll up (you cannot scroll
backwards so scroll slowly) to the correct year. When you
reach the correct year stop scrolling and press the Set
Time/Date button to set the year.
After doing this the number flashing will be the month.
Again, use the MEMORY key to scroll to the appropriate
month and stop scrolling then press the Set Time/Date
button to set the month and move onto setting the day.
Use the MEMORY key to scroll up to find the correct day
of the month and press the Set Time/Date button to set it.
Now that you've set the correct date, the number flashing
will represent the time. The first two digits are the hour.
Use the MEMORY button to scroll through the hours. Note
that for morning hours before noon, there is no AM
displayed but after noon PM will display. Again, scroll
through the time using the MEMORY button to scroll and
the Set Time/Date button to set the time.
5. Measurement Procedure
Please note: You should always be seated before and during measurement
5.1. Before the measurement:
• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement. These factors
influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmosphere for
about ten minutes before measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Always perform measurements at the same time of day, since the blood pressure changes during the
course of the day.
