1 x press on the MEMORY button and theTIME button advances one•
operation (e.g. switch to the next setting mode or change the gure
into +1)
Holding the button down speeds up the procedure.•

3. Measurement Procedure
ATTENTION
Find time to relax by sitting in a quiet atmosphere for some time•
before measurement.
Always measure on the left wrist.•
If you want to follow the results of your blood pressure measure-•
ments, always perform measurements at the same time of day, since
blood pressure changes during the course of the day.
3.1. Fitting the cu
1. Remove all jewellery and watches. Ap-
ply the cu so that the display is facing you.
2. The distance between the cu and the
hand should be nearly 10 mm.
3. Secure the cu with theVelcro fastener,
so that it lies comfortably and not too tight. A
loose cu causes false measurement values.
4. Lay your arm on a table with your palm
upwards. Support your arm with a cushion or
the storage case so that the cu rests at about
the same height as the heart. Remain still for
2 minutes, sitting quietly, before beginning a
measurement.
10 mm

3.2. Measuring procedure
To carry out measurement
1. Press the START button.The built-in microproces-
sor begins to inate the cu. In the display, the increas-
ing cu pressure is continually displayed.
2. After automatically reaching an individual pres-
sure, the pump stops and the pressure slowly falls. The
cu pressure is displayed during the measurement.
When the device has detected your pulse, the heart
symbol in the display begins to blink and a beep tone is
audible for every pulse beat.
3.3. Reading measurement results
When the measurement has been con-
cluded, a long beep tone sounds. The meas-
ured systolic and diastolic blood pressure
values, as well as the pulse are now displayed.
The appearance of this symbol signi-
es that an irregular heartbeat was detected.
This indicator is only a caution. It is important that you be relaxed,
remain still and do not talk during measurements. NOTE: We recommend
contacting your physician if you see this indicator frequently.
Note
To prolong the batteries’life the device switches o automatically if no
button is pressed for 1 minute. Otherwise you can switch it o by pressing
the START button.
3.4. Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any
reason the START button can be pressed at any time. The device then im-
mediately lowers the cu pressure automatically.
3.5. Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol of IHD
appears on the display that means that certain abnormality in heart beat
frequency was detected during the measurement. In this case, the result
SYS
blood
pressure
DIA
blood
pressure
Pulse

may deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In
most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears
on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measurements taken daily)
we advise you to tell your doctor. Please show your doctor the following
explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically
tested.
The symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse irregulari-
ties occur during measurement. If the symbol more frequently (e.g. sev-
eral times per week on measurements performed daily) we recommend the
patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to
detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
4. Memory function
Wrist Watch Blood Pressure Monitor GammaTM Model M2-W automati-
cally stores 99 measured results together with the date and the time when
they are obtained.
To see the results of the last measurement press and hold the MEMORY
button for at least 3 seconds. Each time you press the memory button an
earlier measurement will be displayed along with time and date (with sym-
bols M2-M99).
If an irregular heartbeat interval was detected in any measurements
stored in memory, the icon is displayed.
Clear all values

cannot be cleared.
5. Error Messages/Troubleshooting
If an error occurs during a measurement, the meas-
urement is discontinued and a corresponding error
code is displayed (picture: error no. 2)
Error No. Possible cause(s) / Solutions
ERR 1 No pulse has been detected. Cu may be positioned
incorrectly.
ERR 2 The arm was moved during the measurement. Repeat
the measurement, keeping your arm still.
ERR 3 Ination of the cu took too long. The cu is not po-
sitioned correctly Check that the cu is correctly con-
nected and is not too loose.
ERR 5 The measuring signals are inaccurate and no result can
therefore be displayed. Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and then repeat
the measurement.*
HI The pressure in the cu is too high (over 300 mmHg)
OR the pulse is too high (over 200 beats per minute).
Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the measurement.*
LO The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute).
Repeat the measurement.*
*Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs repeat-
edly.

Other possible errors and their solutions
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should
be checked:
Malfunction Remedy
The display remains blank when
the device
is switched on although the
batteries are in place.
1. Check battery installation/polarity.
2. Remove the batteries and if the dis-
play is unusual, then exchange them
for new ones.
Every measurement results in
dierent values,
although the device functions
normally and
normal values are displayed.
Blood pressure changes constantly.
The observed readings may accu-
rately reect your pressure - minor
dierences in the readings are not
abnormal.
Blood pressure values dier
from those measured at the
doctor’s.
Record daily values and consult your
doctor. Pressure readings in your
doctor’s oce may be higher due to
anxiety.
Note
Blood pressure is subject to uctuations even in healthy people. Please
remember that comparable blood pressure measurements always re-
quire the same time and the same conditions!These are normally quiet
conditions. If you follow the correct procedures described above and still
get the uctuations of blood pressure of more than 15 mmHg and/or you
repeatedly hear irregular pulse tones please consult your doctor.
ATTENTION
Should any technical malfunctions arise in the blood pressure monitor,
please contact the point of sale where you bought the device or Service
Centre. Never attempt to repair the instrument yourself!
Any unauthorized opening of the instrument invalidates all warrantee
claims.

9. Important information on blood pressure and its
measurement
9.1. What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure that your blood extends to the vascular
walls. Blood pressure is necessary to provide for constant blood ow inside
the body. Thanks to it the cells get oxygen that provides for their normal
functioning. The heart performs the function of a “pump”, sending blood to
the blood vessels. Each heart beat creates a certain level of the blood pres-
sure.
There are 2 kinds of blood pressure: a systolic (upper) one, which cor-
responds to the heartbeat pushing blood into the arteriae; and a diastolic
(lower) one, which means the blood pressure between two heartbeats.
SYS blood pressure
DIA blood pressure

Blood pressure is subject to uctuations during the day even in healthy
people. The uctuations are inuenced by a number of factors – time of day,
person’s condition, physical or mental activity, environment, etc.
Day-Night Fluctuations of the Blood Pressure
An increase of blood pressure increases the burden onto the heart, af-
fects blood vessels making their walls thick and less elastic. One of the fea-
tures of the hypertension is its ability to remain unnoticed for the patient at
its early stages. That’s why the self-control of the blood pressure is so impor-
tant. With the illness progressing, headaches and regular dizziness appear,
the sight declines, the functioning of vitalses (encephalon, heart, kidneys,
blood vessels) breaks down. Without special treatment the complications
of hypertension might be kidney damages, breast-pang, paralytic stroke,
aphasia, dementia, heart attack and stroke.
9.2. Which values are normal?
The world standard as for the norms of the blood pressure is the Clas-
sication* of the World Health Organization (WHO):

* printed with curtailments
The diagnosis of hypertension requires from the patient to com-•
bine medical treatment prescribed by the doctor and mode of
life correction.
People with normal pressure and high normal pressure are rec-•
ommended to carry out self-control of their tension in order to
timely take measures to decrease the blood pressure level down
to the optimal one without using any medications.
For people more than 50 years old high level of systolic blood•
pressure (higher than 140 mmHg) is more crucial than diastolic
pressure.
Even with blood pressure being normal, people run the bigger•
risk of hypertension development with advancing age.
ATTENTION
If you have normal results of blood pressure measured under calm
conditions but your results are excessively high when measured under the
conditions of physical or mental exhaustion, this might be a sign of so called
brittle (that is unstable) hypertension. If you suspect that, please consult
your doctor.
When measured correctly, if diastolic blood pressure is more than 120
mmHg, it is necessary to call the doctor immediately.

9.3. What can be done to lower/maintain the level of blood pres-
sure?
Recommendation
How much the
systolic blood pres-
sure can be lowered
- Try to maintain the weight
which is considered standard for
your age. Decrease overweight
if any!
5 – 20 mmHg with
every 10 kilos of
weight reduction
- Avoid salt overuse (it’s recom-
mended to use no more than 6
g per day)!
2 – 8 mmHg
- Avoid eating fat food! Introduce
to your diet some food that is
rich in dietary ber (fruits, veg-
etables)
8 – 14 mmHg
- Refuse from smoking outright!
- Use only limited amount of al-
cohol (bier – 350 g, or vine – 150
g, or vodka – 50 g)!
- Restrain the usage of caeine
(coee)!
2 – 4 mmHg

- After medical examination
please regularly go in for sports,
with the following restrictions:
• go in for endurance exercises
not strengthening exercises.
• do not train till complete ex-
haustion.
• if you have any chronic dis-
eases and/or you are older than
40 please consult your doctor
before you start going in for
sports.
- Spend at least half an hour out
in the open air every day.
