I. Introduction
Thank you for having decided for our smartLAB®pro+ blood pressure
monitor for the upper arm. Our device enables you to control your
blood pressure and your pulse rate very easily. Furthermore. You
can store your values by an internal measured data storage. The
classication by colors of the measured values on the side of your
device enables you to interpret your values immediately.
Please read carefully the instructions before your use the
smartLAB®pro+ blood pressure monitor for the rst time.
Product description
Blood pressure and heart rate can be identied automatically and
without any invasive method by an integrated pressure sensor
technology and by an oscillometric measurement method. Blood
pressure, pulse rate and (possible) irregular heartbeats can be seen
on the LCD display. You can store the last 60 results (2 user proles)
with date and time. In addition to that you can see the average of the
last 3, 4 or 5 measurements. Your smartLAB®pro+ blood pressure
monitor can also indicate the average of the measurements you did in
the mornings/ evenings as well as the average for all results.
* For more information on hFon or hLine Terminal go to www.hmm.info

ANT+ wireless data transfer
Thanks to the integrated ANT module all results can be transmitted to
their receiver (laptop, personal computer, hFon) in order to interpret
your measured values.
The smartLAB®pro+ blood pressure monitor is an ANT+ Device, which
supports the ANT+ protocoll (version 1.0) and is compatible with
receive terminal s, which support the ANT+ protocoll.
Normal variations of your blood pressure
Many factors inuence your blood pressure such as physical exercises,
excitement, stress, nutrition, drinking, smoking and other activities
(including measuring your blood pressure). For this reason you almost
never get the same results.
Your blood pressure is subject to permanent variations – day and
night. The highest values are usually in the day, the lowest usually at
midnight. Usually your blood pressure starts increasing after 3 a.m.
and reaches its highest value in the daytime when you are awake and
active.
For this reason we recommend to measure your blood pressure every
day at the same time under the same circumstances. Please relax 3 to
5 minutes between the measurements so that your blood circulation
can start again in your arm. It is very rare that you get identical
measured values when you measure your blood pressure several times
subsequently.

Setting time, date and average
Setting date and time from your device is important for using
storage or transfering results onto your computer.
The smartLAB®pro+ blood pressure meter uses a special function
to automatically set usersettings and function setup. A receiving
device (z.B. HMM hFon® oder hFon® Collect) that supports this function
is required.
The advantage of this automatic function is that you don‘t have to
setup the device manually. When there is a receiving device, after
rst-use or changing batteries, date, time and usersettings will be
set automatically in less then 4 minutes.
Now, data will be requested every hour. Information about batte-
rie status also is attached. So the receiving device receives battery
status and Information, if the device is in range. All this makes it
possible for the service-provider to offer a better service.
Please press the left arrow key more than 3 seconds to set date
and time. The mode starts now with the current year that you
have to choose by the arrow keys. Press button „On/Off START“
to conrm.

ENGLISH
After that you can choose the month. The display shows the letter “M”
(picture 2a). Use the arrow keys and conrm with the button „On/Off
START“.
Then you have to choose the right day (display shows „D“). Use the ar-
row keys for your choice and conrm with the button „On/Off START“.
After that you have to choose between „12h“ (am/pm) and „24h“.
Use the arrow keys to conrm (pict. 2b). If you chose “12h”, “AM” and
“PM” will ash on the Display, this will not happen in the “24h” clock
mode. Conrm your choice with the button „On/Off START“.
Then you can continue by setting the hour (use the arrow keys, see
pict. 2c). If you choose the mode “12h” the time is indicated by the
number 1 – 12 with “am” (morning) and “pm” (afternoon). Conrm
your choice with the button „On/Off START“.

Then the device starts again with the current year. You can stop the
setting by using the button „On/Off START“ for more than 3 seconds.
Your smartLAB®pro+ blood pressure monitor has an integrated ANT+
module. It enables you to transmit your measured values to your
personal computer, your laptop or your mobile phone (e.g. our HMM
hFon*). After that you can store, analyze and process your data with
the correspondent software.
What does ANT mean?
ANT is a wireless transmission standard for your measured values. You
need a module for your transmitter as well as for your receiver to use
this technology.
Setting up the wireless data transfer

15
ENGLISH
The Advantage of ANT+ is that equipment with ANT+ technology can
connect with other manufacturers receiving devices. smartLAB®pro+
supports the ANT+ protocoll for blood pressure meters (Version 1.0).
Please press „On/Off START” more than 5 seconds for the setting of
your wireless transmission („ANT mode“). In this mode you can set
the following items:
• Data transfer of the last measured value (dc)
• Data transfer of all values stored by the device (dc. A)
• Automatic data transfer of the last measured values (1 Au)
• Automatic data transfer of all values stored by the device (dAu)
• Pairing (setting of the communication with the receiver) (htb)
• Heart Beat (automatic settings of meter)
Data transfer of the last measured values (dc):
When you enter the ANT mode the display shows the data transmissi-
on of the last measured values (see pict. 3).
You can start the data transfer by pressing the left or right arrow key.
Your smartLAB®pro+ is going to try to transmit the last measured
values to your receiver (laptop, personal computer, hFon). The symbol
for the wireless data transmission is blinking in the display. If the

ENGLISH
When you start the transfer of all data the corresponding symbol
in the display starts blinking. A successful data transfer is conrmed
by the symbol you can see in picture 3d. In case the data transfer was
not successful you will see the symbol of picture 3e.
Please press “On/Off START” to proceed to the next setting mode.
Automatic data transfer of the last measured values (1AU):
Please make your choice: Do you want the latest measured value auto-
matically to be transferred, turn the option either ON or OFF with the
arrow keys. If the mode is turned ON, the correspondent symbol
appears with every data transfer (see pict. 3f). Press “On/Off START”
to conrm your choice. All new measurements will then be sent out
automatically, when you are in reach of your receiving device (laptop,
personal computer, hFon).

Automatic data transfer of all values stored by the device (dAU):
Please make your choice: Do you want all unsent values stored on the
device to be automatically transferred to the partner device, turn the
option either ON or OFF with the arrow keys. If the mode is turned ON,
the correspondent symbol appears with every data transfer (see
pict. 3g). Press “On/Off START” to conrm your choice. All unsent
measurements will then be sent out automatically, when you are in
reach of your receiving device (laptop, personal computer, hFon).
Pairing (establishing a connection with a receiving device)
(PAr):
The pairing function is necessary to establish a connection between
the device and the receiving device. This guarantees that only the
receiving device can receive data from smartLAB®pro+ . It is
recommended to turn off this function after successful pairing. The
PIN Code for enabling communication is „8888“.
With the arrow keys you can either turn these setting options on (ON)
or off (OFF). Press „On/Off START“ to conrm your choice. The setting
(ON) is set by default.
Heart Beat (setting the device automatically) (htb):
The Heart Beat function is able to set the device automatically.
Every 3 minutes the device trys to connect to the receiving device
(the receiving device has to be compatible with this function). Was
the connection successful, the device will be set automatically. This
applies to all users. Another advantage is that, with this function, the
device sends its battery status to the receiving device, which can alert
the user when the battery should be changed.
With the arrow keys you can either turn these setting options on (ON)
or off (OFF). Conrm your choice by pressing „On/Off START“. The
setting (ON) is set by default.

Connecting the cuff to the monitor
Insert the cuff tubing connector into the
socket of your smartLAB®pro+ on the left
side of the monitor (see pict. 5). Make sure
that the connector is completely inserted
to avoid air leakage during blood pressure
measurements.
Applying the cuff
• Place the cuff around a bare arm 1-2cm above the elbow joint
(see. pict. 6)
• While seated, place palm upside in front of you on a at surface
such as a desk or table. Position the air tube in the middle of your
arm in line with your middle nger.
• Pull the cuff end through the metal loop (the cuff is packaged
like this already), turn it outward (away from your body) and
tighten it and close the Velcro fastener.
• The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. Y o u
should be able to insert one finger between your arm and t h e
cuff.
