bend of the elbow and above the artery, 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.

10
3. Insert the Air Tube Connector into the Air Tube Port.
4. This cuff is suitable for you if the index mark ( ) is within the OK range
after fitting the cuff on the upper arm.
CAUTION: Only use original Beurer cuffs with this device. The included cuff is suitable for an arm
circumference of 8.7 to 16.5 inches (22 - 42 cm).
Correct Posture:
• Before the initial blood pressure
measurement, make sure always to rest for
about 5 minutes.
• 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

• Keep still during the measurement and do not talk.
• Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.
Performing a Measurement:
1. To select a desired user memory, press the +/- Buttons until the desired user number icon appears
in the LCD Display. To confirm, wait until the device switches into Standby mode. Each user memory
can store 100 sets of measurements. If you do not select a user memory, the measurement will be
stored in the most recently-used user memory.
NOTE: If audio output is on, the device will announce the user number as it is selected.
2. With the cuff attached properly and in a correct posture, press the Start/Stop
Button. Measurement will begin after about three seconds.
The pulse symbol () will display when the pulse is detected.
To cancel a measurement at any time, press the Start/Stop Button.
NOTE:The device features cuff tightness indicator. Using this feature, the
device will automatically check the correct tightness of the cuff on your upper
arm during measurement. If the cuff is correctly tightened, the symbol will
appear on the display during inflation. It will remain there until the measurement
has been successfully completed and will then be displayed together with the
determined measured values. If the cuff is incorrectly tightened, the measurement is aborted and
““ will appear on the display. In this case, please re-attach the cuff, observing the instructions
provided in the section “Attaching the cuff“. Then repeat the measurement, keeping to an interval of at
least 1 minute from the previous measurement.
3. As a measurement concludes, air pressure in the Cuff will release and pulse
rate, systolic, and diastolic pressures will display.

11
4. If audio output is on, the device will announce the results for systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,
heart rate (pulse), blood pressure classification category, and, if applicable, irregular heartbeat (see
the “Irregular Heartbeat” section below for details). While the announcement plays, you can adjust
the playback volume using the +/- Buttons.
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.
6. 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.
7. Wait at least five minutes before taking another measurement.
7. Evaluating Results
Irregular Heartbeat:
This device can detect irregular heartbeat patterns during measurement and will indicate them by
displaying the Irregular Heartbeat Icon and announcing ““A possible cardiac arrhythmia was found.”
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 indicator:
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 Systolic
(in mmHg) Diastolic (in mmHg) Action
Grade 3:
Severe hypertension red ≥180 ≥ 110 Seek medical advice
Grade 2:
Moderate hypertension orange 160–179 100–109 Seek medical advice
Grade 1:
Mild hypertension yellow 140–159 90–99 Have your doctor check your
blood pressure regularly
High Normal green 130–139 85–89 Have your doctor check your
blood pressure regularly
Normal green 120–129 80–84 Continue self-monitoring
Optimal green <120 <80 Continue self-monitoring
Source: WHO, 1999 (World Health Organization)

12
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 risk
indicator on the device always shows the higher category.
8. Displaying and Deleting Measurements

• No ponga el brazalete sobre ropa gruesa (como una chaqueta ola manga de un suéter), ya que
el tensiómetro no podrá hacer una medición adecuada yexiste un alto riesgo de provocar un
hematoma odejar marcas en la piel durante el curso de la medición.
• En caso de que el brazalete deje de inflarse, interrumpa la medición presionando el botón INICIAR/
DETENER y abra el brazalete inmediatamente.
• No desarme la unidad; esto puede causar lesiones.
• Al aplicar el brazalete, asegúrese de que no haya arrugas en él. Eso podría causar moretones.
• No ejerza ninguna clase de presión en la manguera durante la medición, por ejemplo, no ponga los
brazos ni otro objeto sobre la manguera. Esto podría causar mediciones incorrectas.
• Las mediciones de presión sanguínea pueden causar marcas temporales en la piel en el lugar donde
se colocó el brazalete. En específico, este es el caso cuando se usa repetidamente, en pacientes
hipertónicos y en pacientes con pulso débil. En algunos casos poco comunes, una marca puede
persistir varios días. Consulte asu médico con respecto alos riesgos específicos derivados de la
presión del brazalete en su caso específico.
• Por razones higiénicas, el brazalete es exclusivamente de uso personal.
• Se recomienda desinfectar el brazalete dos veces por semana usando una tela ligeramente
