1.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?
a) Consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with
considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endangered due
to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply
of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result from arteriosclerosis.
Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood pressure
values.
c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between the
common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter group
can be ascribed to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information
about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood
pressure.
2. Battery power checking
The battery is a built-in chargeable lithium ion battery. Press the “Power ON/OFF” button. If
the “Battery Indicator” becomes RED, the battery power is low and the battery need to be
recharged. The power supply should be DC 5/1A. Rechage the device with the charging
cable* (*included). When the “Battery Indicator” becomes GREEN, the battery is fully
recharged. Then the device can be used normally. If the battery is not fully recharged, the
indicator flashes in RED.
You may also operate this device by using the AC adapter** (**not included), output 5V
DC/1A with Micro USB plug. Use only the approved brand AC adapter to avoid damaging
the unit. First ensure that the AC adapter and cable are not damaged. Then plug the
adapter cable into the AC adapter port on the right side of the blood pressure monitor. After
that plug the adapter into your electrical outlet. When the AC adapter is connected, no
battery current is consumed. (e.g. by accidental removal of the AC adapter from the outlet,
the monitor must be reset by removing the plug from the socket and reinserting the AC
adapter connection).
Assessment indicator: The indicator is set around the Start/Stop button. After
measurement, the indicator will turn into different colors according to the assessment.
BLUE means normal, YELLOW means mild high blood pressure and RED means high
blood pressure.
