and repeat the measurement. For other error

4. Once the correct pressure is reached, the
inflating stops and the pressure gradually falls.
If the required pressure was not reached, the
monitor will automatically pump some more
air into the cuff until the blood pressure can be
taken.
5. During the measurement, the “pulse rate mea-

remove the cuff.
8. Switch off the monitor. (The monitor does
switch off automatically after approx. 1 minute,
though).
You can stop the measurement at any time
by pressing the On/Off button (e.g. if you feel
uneasy or an unpleasant pressure sensation).
This monitor is specially tested for use in
pregnancy and preeclampsia. When you detect
unusually high readings in pregnancy, take your
blood pressure again after a short while (approx.
1 hour). If the reading is still too high in the
repeat measurement, please contact your doctor
or gynaecologist.
Manual inflation
In case of very high systolic blood pressure (e. g.
exceeding 135 mmHg), it can be of use that you
determine the pressure yourself. Press the On/
off button after the monitor started inflating and
a pressure of approx. 30 mmHg appears in the
display. Keep the button pressed until the pressure
is about 40 mmHg above your average systolic
value – then release the button.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the result appears in the display, press
the on/off button

is flashing. Confirm the deletion by pressing the

«CL» is shown after the reading was successful-
ly deleted from the memory.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The triangle at the left edge of the display

points at the range your blood pressure reading is
in. The reading is either in the optimum (white),
increased (cross-hatched in grey) or high (black)
blood pressure range. The classification corres-
