High blood pressure is a health risk and must be treated without fail. Blood Pressure Indicator (mmHg) 90 85 80 120 130 140 (mmHg) Orange LED Colors Yellow Green Hypertensive (Low / Moderate / Severe) Diastolic Normal High Normal Optimal P/min. 140 130 90 85 M1 M2 Systolic Please consult your doctor without delay if the blood pressure indicator repeatedly draws attention to elevated blood pressure values. Inserting/replacing batteries 1. Slide off the Battery Cover from the housing. 2. Insert four 1.5 V batteries (R6/AA), ensuring correct polarity. 3. Close the Battery Cover. 1 32 – + + – Batteries must be replaced when ... • The Replace batteries symbol appears on the display. • You press the ON/OFF/Start Button and the display screen goes blank after all displays have come on. • You press the ON/OFF/Start Button and nothing is displayed on the screen. Note: • New batteries contain enough power for about 200 measurements. • If you do not use the unit for a long time, we recommend to remove batteries from the main unit to avoid damage by liquid leakage. • Low temperature conditions can cause battery life to be shortened. Fitting the Blood Pressure Monitor 1. Attaching the cuff to the upper arm. •Make sure the cuff is wrapped so that it is in contact with the skin. Measurements may be taken from either the left or right arm. However, please take measurements using the same arm each time, because there is said to be a blood pressure difference of approx. 10 mmHg between the left and right. 2. Fasten firmly, but not too tight. • Optimally, there should be enough room to insert one finger between the cuff and arm. • Make sure your sleeve does not get in the cuff. • Firmly attach using the hook-andloop tape. Positioning on the Upper Left Arm • Position so that the tube extends in line with the little finger on the palm side. Positioning on the Upper Right Arm Wrap the cuff around CAUTION: Do not throw batteries into a fire. Doing so may result in an accident or explosion. 9 10 the arm 2 to 3 cm (25/32" to 1-3/16") above the elbow. Instructions for correct measurement of blood pressure Measurement in a sitting position 1. Rest your elbows on a table or other level surface. 2. Make adjustments so that the height of the cuff and heart are at the same level. 3. With the palm of your hand facing up release any tension held in your muscles. Measurement in lying position 1. Lie on your back with your body straight. • Do not lie on your side. Doing so will exert an uneven amount of force on one arm. 2. With the palm of the hand facing up, extend your arm so that it is straight. 3. Relax and release any tension held in your muscles. IMPORTANT Take measurements at the same time everyday using the same arm and posture. • Measured readings will vary according to the height of the cuff. • Measurements taken in the morning should be done so upon waking and in the absence of an urge to urinate. If this should prove difficult, take measurements prior to breakfast while your body is still in an inactive state. • Do not touch the tube or the meter while measurement is in progress. Assume a natural posture, remaining calm and quiet when taking measurements • Rest for about 4 to 5 minutes before taking measurements. • Release any tension present in your body and refrain from muscle movement such as in the arm or fingers. • Do not speak while measurement is in progress. Measuring your blood pressure 1. Press the ON/OFF/Start Button to turn on the unit. The LCD display will show 888 and then switch to 0. The cuff is automatically inflated. 2. The blood pressure measurement is indicated along with the pulse rate (number of beats per minute). The air in the cuff is released automatically when the measurement is complete. 3. Press the power switch to turn off the unit. If you forget to do so, the unit switches off automatically approx. 5 minutes after a measurement. Error If “E” (meaning error) appears in the display during measurement, an error has occurred, e.g., you have moved your hand during measurement. In this case, turn the unit off, wait at least 5 minutes and measure again. CAUTION: • For persons with poor circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure or other conditions, there may be significant differences in blood pressure values measured at the wrist versus at the upper arm. • Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. • NEVER change a prescribed medication without first consulting with your physician. Storing blood pressure readings This monitor has enough memory capacity to store 21 readings for two users. M1 and M2 will flash on the display after a measurement. 1. Press the Memory/Recall Button number if you want your readings to be recorded. Example: Person A is recorded under M1 Person B is recorded under M2 2. Memorization completed Twenty-one readings can be recorded for each person. If you exceed the number of readings, the existing readings will be deleted in or...
