Constantly elevated blood pressure significantly increases the risk of
developing other diseases. Physical consequences such as a heart
attack, stroke and organ damage are some of the most common causes
of death worldwide. Daily blood pressure monitoring is therefore an
important method that can help to protect you from these risks. If
your blood pressure values are frequently elevated or borderline (see
the table above), you should discuss this with your doctor. (Using the
Veroval
®
medi.connect software, you can easily share your values
with your doctor via e-mail or by printing them out – see Chapter7
‘Transferring measured values to Veroval
®
medi.connect‘). Your doctor
can then take appropriate action.
4. Preparing the measurement
Inserting/changing batteries
Open the battery cover on the bottom of the monitor
(see Fig.1). Insert the batteries (see Chapter13
‘Technical data‘). Ensure correct polarity (‘+‘ and
‘–‘) when inserting batteries. Close the battery lid.
The monitor automatically switches to the date/time
function, and when used for the first time, the display
shows the number ‘ ‘ for the day and ‘ ‘ for the
month. The date set is thus the 31st December. Set the
date and time as described below.
If the ‘change battery‘ symbol is permanently displayed, blood pressure
can no longer be measured and you must replace all the batteries.
Setting the date and time
It is very important that you set the date and time correctly. This is the only
way to save your measured values correctly, with the date and time, for
subsequent retrieval. This is also important for correctly using all the
memory and analysis functions.
To enter the setting mode, insert the batteries again or hold down the START/
STOP button for 5seconds. Proceed as follows:
