Braun PrecisionSensor™ is a blood pressure monitor that
has been developed for easy and accurate blood pressure
measurements at the wrist.
The measuring accuracy of the product has been tested at
the time of manufacture and proven by clinical tests.
Blood pressure monitors should always be positioned at an
appropriate measuring position close to the heart for reliable
measurements.
The Braun PrecisionSensor™ has an active positioning
system that guides your arm via arrows on its display to the
medically recommended measuring position close to the
heart.
However, to ensure accurate results, carefully
read these instructions.
What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day.
It rises sharply in the early morning and declines during
the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon
and finally drops to a low level at night. That is why readings
can fluctuate when taken at different times of the day.

Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office provides only a
momentary value. Repeated measurements at home may be
useful when monitoring one’s actual blood pressure values.
Many people may have a different blood pressure reading
when they measure at home, because they tend to be more
relaxed than when in the doctor‘s office.
Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home may
provide your doctor with useful information on your
«everyday» values.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the
following standard blood pressure values when measured at
resting pulse.
Important
• This product is intended for household use only.
Keep product and batteries away from children.
• People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arterio-
sclerosis in extremeties, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should
consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves,
because deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.
• The active positioning system was developed based on anthropological
studies conducted in Europe and is applicable for populations with
comparable conditions. The system guides the user for repeatable
measuring positions.
• Ifyou areundermedical treatmentorreceiving medication,pleaseconsult
your doctor.
• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your doctor.
• Do not spill liquids on this device.

Inserting batteries
• Use only alkaline batteries of the type LR 03 (AAA)
(e.g. Duracell-Ultra) as supplied with this product.
• Remove the battery cover (F) and insert two
batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in the
battery compartment (E)).
• New batteries (e.g. Duracell-Ultra) will provide
approximately 300 measurements.
• Only discard dead batteries. They should not
be disposed of in household waste, but at
appropriate collection sites.
Key rules for accurate blood pressure
measurement
• Always take readings at the same time of day,
ideally in the morning, under the same conditions.
• Wait at least 30 minutes after smoking or after
coffee or tea consumption before measuring.
• While taking a measurement, sit down, relax,
keep still, do not move or speak.
• Hold the monitor at heart level.
• Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating
a measurement.

Measuring
For blood pressure measurements at the wrist an
appropriatemeasuringpositionclosetotheheart
is essential for accurate results.
1. Fasten the monitor on your left arm on top of the
slim side of your forearm (see illustration). Make
sure the cuff (G) fits tight.
Press the I/0 button (C).
2. Takethemeasuringpositionasshown.Yourarms
should remain close to your body. Make sure the
monitor is approximately at heart level.
3a. When the monitor is at the appropriate meas-
uring level, an acoustic signal will sound and the
display will show a heart symbol. Both indicate
that you have reached the appropriate measuring
position. The measurement now starts auto-
matically.
3b. If you have not assumed the appropriate
measuring position right away, the monitor will
guide you via an arrow on the display. Your arms
should remain close to your body, resting
comfortably. Move your forearm up or down
(see illustration) in the direction of the arrow, until
a signal sounds and the heart symbol appears.
Once you have reached an appropriate
measuring position the measurement will start
automatically.
When the measurement is complete, an acoustic
signal will sound again, and the reading will be
displayed.

Important
15 seconds after switching on the device the
measuring process will begin automatically, even if
the appropriate measuring position has not been
reached.
If at any time you want to discontinue the
measurement, press the I/0 button.
Memory
(only for model BP 2510 with memory button)
The readings of the last 20 measurements will be
saved automatically.
To recall the latest stored reading, press the memory
button. Repeatedly pressing the memory button will
call up one by one all stored readings. The number in
the upper left corner of the display gives the memory
position (01 being the oldest, 19 the most recent).
De-activating the active positioning
system
At the time of manufacture, the position sensor has
been activated. If you wish, you can de-activate the
positioning system.
