3 Getting Started / 4 Operation
The voice function can be adjusted with the device switched off, i.e. with just
the date and time displayed. Press and hold down the MEM button
until
the selected language appears on the display (e.g. LA 01).
LA 01 = English LA 03 = Spanish LA 05 = French
LA 02 = German LA 04 = Dutch LA 06 = Italian
LA 00 = Language function switched off
The device speaks the language setting, and changes the display and the an-
nouncement to the next language if the MEM button
is held down. The
selected language can be changed by releasing the MEM button
as soon
as the language that you require is displayed or spoken. The selected volume,
which is indicated by flashing bars, can be modified by pressing the MEM
button
again and holding it down until the required volume is indicated –
the higher the bar, the louder the volume. Press the MEM button
again
to confirm your selection. The bar stops flashing and the display switches back
to the time display.
1. Push the end piece of the air tube into the hole on the unit
prior to use.
Ensure that the hose is not damaged and is securely attached. The blood
pressure monitor is intended for use as a table-top unit.
2. Slide the open end of the cuff through the metal bracket so that the Velcro
fastener is on the outside.
3. Open the cuff
so as to create a cylindrical shape.
4. Slide the cuff over your left upper arm. Position the air hose
in the midd-
le of your arm in line with your middle finger (a).
5. Place your arm on the table with the palm uppermost. The lower edge of
the cuff should be 1 - 2 cm above the crease of the elbow (b). Pull the cuff
tight (c) and close the Velcro fastener.
6. Avoid creating a space between arm and cuff. It may falsify the measured
result.
7. Measure the pulse on your bare arm. If wearing tight clothing, ensure that
the circulation in the arm is not impaired when rolling up the sleeve.
8. Only position the cuff on the right arm if it cannot be used on the left arm.
Always carry out measurements on the same arm.
The Correct Measuring Position when sitting
• Carry out the measurement whilst seated.
• Relax your arm and place it comfortably, on a
table for instance.
• Ensure that the cuff is at heart height.
• Keep still during the measurement: do not move
and do not talk as this may alter the measure-
ments.
