1. Important safety notes
Signs and symbols
Whenever used, the following signs identify safety and
property damage messages and designate a level of hazard
or seriousness.
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL, THE SAFETY
SECTION AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS AND
TO MAKE CORRECT USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE NOTICE addresses practices not
related to personal injury, such as
product and/or property damage.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or serious personal injury:
• For consistency, always measure your blood pressure
at the same time each day.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before each measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• When performing multiple measurements on
an individual, wait five minutes between each
measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
results.
• Measurements are for your information only – they are
no substitute for a medical examination. Discuss the
measurements with your doctor and never base any
medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration).
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home
environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling
in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking
physical activity such as playing sport) can influence
the measurement accuracy and cause incorrect
measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or
patients with pre-eclampsia. Consult your doctor before
using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.

5
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect
measurements or have a detrimental effect on
measurement accuracy. The same also applies to very
low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and
arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people
(including children) with restricted physical, sensory or
mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of
knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who
is responsible for their safety or are instructed by such
a person in how to use the device. Supervise children
around the device to ensure they do not play with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in
connection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified
upper arm measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood
circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time. If the device malfunctions remove the cuff
from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or
bending of the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood
flow may cause injury.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which
the arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment,
e.g. intravascular access or intravascular or therapy, or
an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the
cuff on other parts of the body.
• As soon as the batteries are empty the blood pressure
monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any
buttons for 30 seconds.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described
in these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from improper or careless
use.

6
CAUTION
• The device should not be used when your arm has been
wounded/injuried or when a catheter has been inserted.
Such use may result in injury.
• Remove any kind of upper arm jewelry or the like before
taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
• Do not place the arm cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor
will not be able to take a proper measurement and there
is an elevated danger of acquiring hematoma or skin
marks during the course of the measurement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the
measurement by pressing the start/stop button and
open the cuff at once.
• Do not disassemble the unit, it may result in injuries.
• When applying the arm cuff, make sure there are no
wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during
measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object
on the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement.
This is especially the case in high repetition rates, in
hypertonic patients and in patients with weak pulses.
In rare cases a mark may persist for a couple of days.
Please contact your physician about these specific
risks of cuff pressure in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for the
use by one person.
• Prolonged overinflation (cuff pressure exceeds 300
mmHg or maintained above 15mmHg for longer than 3
minutes) of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your
arm.

2. Getting to know your instrument
This blood pressure monitor performs non-invasive
measurement and monitoring of adult arterial blood
pressure. You can use it to measure your blood pressure
quickly and easily, store the results, and display stored
readings and their average. This device also features an
irregular heartbeat indicator, with values classified and
graphically evaluated according to industry guidelines.
This blood pressure monitor also has a "resting indicator"
that shows whether you, and consequently your circulatory
system, are sufficiently at rest when the blood pressure
measurement is being taken, which helps ensure a more
precise indicator of your resting blood pressure.

with the Air Tube in line with the
center of the palm. Ensure
blood circulation is not
restricted by tight clothing or
other objects.
2. Fasten the cuff, making sure it is
not too tight around your arm.
You should be able to fit two
fingers under the cuff after it is
in place.
3. Make sure the index mark ( ) is
between the MIN and MAX
markings.
4. Insert the Air Tube Connector into
the Air Tube Port.
11

CAUTION: Only use genuine Beurer cuffs with this device.
The included cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 8.7
- 16.5 inches (22 to 42 cm). For arm circumferences outside
this range, contact customer service.
Blood pressure can vary between the right and left arm,
which may mean that the measured blood pressure values
are different. Always perform the measurement on the same
arm. If the values between the two arms are significantly
different, please consult your doctor to determine which
arm should be used for the measurement.
Correct Posture:
• Rest for at least five minutes before each measurement.
• Perform the measurement either sitting or lying down.
Always make sure that the cuff is level with your heart.
• To perform a measurement, sit comfortably with your
arms and back supported. Do not cross your legs and
place your feet flat on the floor.
• Keep still during the measurement and do not talk.
Performing a Measurement:
1. With the cuff attached properly and in a correct posture,
press the START/STOP Button . All LCD Display
elements will briefly display and measurement will
begin after about three seconds. If one of the alarms
are activated, that alarm icon will display. To cancel a
measurement at any time, press the START/STOP Button
.
2. The cuff automatically inflates. The cuff’s air pressure is
slowly released. If you already recognise a tendency for
high blood pressure, you should reinflate the cuff and
increase the cuff’s pressure again. As soon as a pulse is
found, the pulse symbol will be displayed.
3. The Cuff Tightness Indicator will display throughout
the measurement process as long as the cuff is tightened
properly. Otherwise, the icon will appear along with
"" and the measurement will stop.
4. As a measurement concludes, air pressure in the Cuff will
release. The pulse rate, systolic pressure, and diastolic
pressure will display. If an irregular heartbeat is detected,
the Irregular Heartbeat Indicator will also display.
5. " _" (where the blank space is a number 1-6) will appear
if the measurement was not performed properly. Refer
to the "Troubleshooting Guide" section for details about
specific error message numbers and then repeat the
measurement.
12

6. To select a desired user memory, press the SET Button
and then press the +/- Buttons until the desired user
memory icon appears in the LCD Display. Confirm by
pressing the START/STOP Button or just wait a
few seconds. Each user memory can store 30 sets of
measurements. If you do not select a user memory, the
measurement will be stored in the most recently-used
user memory.
7. Press the START/STOP Button to shut off the blood
pressure monitor. The measurement is now stored in
the selected user memory. The device will also shut off
automatically after about one minute.
8. Wait at least five minutes before taking another
measurement.
8. Evaluating results
Irregular Heartbeat:
This device can detect irregular heartbeat patterns
during measurement and will indicate them by displaying
the Irregular Heartbeat Icon when a measurement
concludes.
This could be an indicator for arrhythmia, a condition where
the heart rhythm is abnormal. These symptoms (omitted or
premature heartbeats, slow or excessively fast heart rate)
may be caused, among other things, by heart disease, age,
physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress,
or lack of sleep. Only your doctor can determine if you do
have arrhythmia.
Repeat the measurement if the Irregular Heartbeat Icon
displays after a measurement. Rest for at least five minutes
between measurements and do not talk or move during
measurement. If the icon appears often, contact your
doctor, since self-diagnosis and treatment based solely on
the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your
doctor‘s instructions.
Risk Classification
In accordance with industry guidelines, measurements can
be classified and assessed by the table below. However,
these standard values are only a general guideline, since
individual blood pressure varies in different people and
different age groups, etc.
Hypertension
Category Systole (in mmHg) Diastole (in mmHg) Action
Grade 3: Severe
hypertension ≥180 ≥110 Seek medical advice
Grade 2:
Moderate

Hypertension
Category Systole (in mmHg) Diastole (in mmHg) Action
Grade 1: Mild

Have your doctor
check your
blood pressure
regularly
High normal 130– 139 85–89
Have your doctor
check your
blood pressure
regularly
Normal 120– 129 80–84 Continue
self-monitoring
Optimal <120 < 80 Continue
self-monitoring
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice.
Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal
blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the unit
show which category the recorded blood pressure values
fall into. If the systolic and diastolic values fall into two
different categories, the WHO Classification Indicator on the
device always shows the higher category.
Resting Indicator:
The most common error made when measuring blood
pressure is taking the measurement when not at rest, which
means that the systolic and the diastolic blood pressures
are distorted. While measuring the blood pressure, this
device can determine if you are properly at rest. As long as
you are properly at rest, the
1
2
symbol is displayed and the
measurement can be recorded as a reliable resting blood
pressure value. Otherwise, the
1
2
symbol will display,
which indicates you were not sufficiently rested. If this is
the case, relax for at least five minutes and then repeat the
measurement. In some cases, nervousness or inner anxiety
may be the cause and cannot be cured by brief periods
of rest. Existing cardiac arrhythmias may also prevent a
stable blood pressure measurement. An unstable resting
blood pressure can have various causes, such as physical
or mental strain or distraction, speaking, or experiencing
cardiac arrhythmias during the measurement.
9. Displaying and Deleting
Measurements
User Memory:
Every successful measurement is stored along with its
date and time. If there are more than 30 measurements in
