Installation
Batteries
Start by inserting the batteries. Open the lid on the back of the blood pressure monitor
and insert four AAA batteries. Close the battery compartment. Replace all batteries
when the display shows the battery symbol . Rechargeable batteries are not
recommended.
The monitor, batteries and cuff must be disposed of according to local
regulations at the end of their usage.
Time and date settings
Once you insert the battery, the monitor will enter the time and date adjustment
mode. If the time is already set and needs to be changed, press and hold the START/
STOP and MEM buttons for 2 seconds in standby mode. The numbers will start
blinking, change the values with MEM and conrm with START. The monitor turns off
automatically after 1 minute if no buttons are pressed.
The cuff
1. Connect the air tube to the hole on the left
side of the monitor. Make sure it is tight.
2. Insert the cuff through the loop so that
it can be locked with the velcro.
3. Place the cuff around a bare upper arm,
about 1-2 cm above the elbow.
4. Lock the cuff. One nger should t between the
skin and the cuff to make sure it is not too tight.
If you need to clean the monitor, use a dry, soft cloth. Dilute disinfectants and/or detergents. Do not use abrasive or
volatile detergents.
The cuff should be disinfected every two weeks if used in a hospital, clinique or similar environments. The inner side
can be cleaned with a moistened and squeezed with ethyl alcohol (75-90 %) and then dried by air. The cuff must not be
machine washed, tumble dried or ironed. It is recommended to clean the cuff after every 200 uses.
The monitor requires 6 hours to warm from the minimum storage temperature between uses until the monitor is ready for
its INTENDED USE when the ambient temperature is 20 °C
Do not disassemble the monitor. No components should be repaired by the end user. Circuit diagrams, component part
lists, descriptions, calibration instructions and other information can be supplied by the manufacturer for use by qualied
personnel only.
The monitor maintains these safety and performance characteristics for a minimum of 10000 measurements or three
years. The cuff maintains its integrity for 1000 opening and closing procedures.

Measuring
Sitting
Sit down with your feet to the oor. Rest your arm
and hand against a surface, e.g. a table, and let the
air tube run along your arm. The cuff should be at the
same height as your heart.
Lying down
Lie down on your back. Hold your arm along your body
with your palm turned up. The cuff should be at the
same height as your heart.
Measuring
Always measure on the same arm.
1. Press START.
2. The display soon shows the chosen
memorybank (U1 - U4). Press MEM
to switch. Each memory bank can
contain 30 measurements.
3. The blood pressure monitor seeks
zero pressure before it starts to inate
the cuff. The cuff is then deated
and the measurement is made.
4. The monitor calculates blood pressure
and pulse and displays the result. If an
irregular heartbeat is discovered, the
heart symbol is also displayed. The
measurement is saved to the memory bank.
The blood pressure monitor shuts down automatically
if no button has been pressed for one minute. Press
START to manually shut down the monitor during or
after the measurement.
Memory function
The blood pressure monitor is equipped with four memory banks, U1- U4. Each bank
can store up to 30 measurements each.
Choose memory group
From the time mode, press START. The display will show all symbols as a test. After
this it will show the current memory group (1-4). Press MEM to navigate between
the four groups. Press START to conrm the chosen group or wait ve seconds. Press
START or don't press any buttons for 60 seconds to return to the time mode.
Show saved measurements
Press MEM while in standby mode to show saved measurements. The current
memory bank will blink and the amount of measurements will be displayed.
Keep pressing START to navigate between the four memory groups and pressing
MEM to conrm. The meter will show the average value of the latest saved
measurements taken between 05 - 09 the last seven days for the current memory
bank. If no results are stored within this timespan the display will show zeros. Press
MEM again to show the average value of the latest saved measurements taken
between 18 - 20 the last seven days for the current memory bank. If no results are
stored within this timespan the display will show zeros. Press MEM once more to
show the most recent result, blood pressure and pulse will be displayed individually
and eventual warning symbols. You can keep pressing MEM to browse through the
next separate result. Press the START button to turn the display off or wait a minute
without pressing any buttons.
Delete saved measurements
While watching measurements as described above, press and hold MEM for three
seconds to delete all measurements.
New measurements will replace the oldest measurements if the memory bank already
contains 120 measurements.
