How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» AP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the M-button 3.
You can interrupt the measurement at any time by pressing
the quick-acting discharge valve 8 (e.g. if you feel uneasy
or notice an unpleasant pressure sensation).
4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
5. Appearance of the Hypertension Indicator
This symbol AL flashes at the end of the measurement, if either
your systolic or diastolic blood pressure is higher than the recom-
mended values in accordance with the international guidelines
(ESH, AHA, JSH).
Systolic blood pressure: > 135 mmHg
Diastolic blood pressure: > 85 mmHg
6. Data Memory
This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the instrument is switched off.
The display first shows the last stored result.
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 30
memories is not exceeded.
When the 30 memory is full, the
oldest value is automatically overwritten with the 31st
value.
Values should be evaluated by a doctor before the
memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
All memory data are cleared when batteries are taken out
of the device.
7. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AO
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 AO 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 6 at the back of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use 2 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AAA 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.
Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this device using rechargeable batteries.
Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.
Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the
device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a
result of low use of the device, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the device for a week or more.
Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol
appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on
measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
