Introduction
thank you for deciding for the blood
pressure monitor KP-6241 from
Weinberger GmbH & Co. KG. To be able
to utilise all advantages of the blood
pressure monitor to the fullest, you
should carefully read these instructions
before using the monitor. Keep the
instruction leaflet in a safe place.
Safety instructions
The blood pressure monitor KP-6241
enables you to monitor your blood
pressure regularly. However, you should
never change the treatment which your
doctor has prescribed
Self-measurement means monitoring,
it does not imply diagnosis or
treatment.
Discuss unusual values with your doctor.
Do not change the medication
prescribed by your doctor.
The heart rate is not a useful indicator of
the frequency of a cardiac pace maker.
Patients with cardiac arrhythmia should
use the blood pressure monitor only after
consulting a doctor.
Features of the KP-6241
•The blood pressure monitor has fuzzy
logic to identify the pumping pressure.
If the pumping pressure set in the
factory is not sufficient, the device
identifies this and continues pumping.
•The device has 85 memory locations.
•The date and time are displayed and
stored together with every blood
pressure value.
•If the battery icon is displayed, the
batteries are discharged and the device
cannot be used until new batteries are
inserted.
•WHO-Interpretation of blood pressure
readings with colored band (See
description at page 7).

•The handcuff is suitable for wrists
from 135 to 195 mm circumference.
Preparing the monitor for
measurement / changing batteries
Insert the two supplied batteries in the
battery compartment at the side of the
blood pressure monitor as shown.
Use only alkali batteries (LR03).
If the batteries are depleted, the battery
icon is displayed in the top left corner
of the LC display. The battery needs
urgent replacement because you cannot
use the monitor with depleted batteries.
Device description
Setting the clock
After you have inserted the two batteries,
you should set the clock.
To set the clock, hold the TIME button
pressed for about 5 seconds. The year
blinks in the top right corner of the
display.
Set the year with the 0/I-START button.
- 3 -
When the correct year is set, press the
TIME button again. Now the 1 blinks in
the top right corner of the LCD. It stands
for the month.
Set the month with the 0/I-START button.
Another press of the TIME button sets
another 1 blinking. It stands for the first
day in the month.
Set the day with the 0/I-START button.
Another press of the TIME button takes
you to the clock setting – the hours blink.
As earlier, set the clock with the 0/I-
START button.
Pressing the TIME button advances to
the minutes setting.
Set the minutes with the 0/I-START
button.
A final press of the TIME button
completes the setting of the date and
time.
How to obtain correct measuring
results
To obtain correct readings, measure the
blood pressure always
under the same
conditions, at rest, not
under the effect of
alcohol, not during
meals, not after heavy
physical or mental
stress. If possible, sit
down at a table for the
measurement.
Please note: The blood pressure monitor
must be at heart level during the
measurement, otherwise wrong readings
are obtained.

The measuring method
Put the cuff around your left wrist making
sure that the device rests on the artery
and the top edge of the device is about 1
cm away from the wrist joint (Please see
the enclose photo).
The cuff should be applied with moderate
tightness.
Pressing the 0/I-START button starts the
automatic measurement. The cuff inflates
to approx. 190 mmHg pressure.
The automatic deflation starts the
measurement. After about 3 seconds, a
heart icon starts blinking in the LC
display. If a Korotkoff’s sound is detected
already at that time, it means a
systolic pressure of more than 150
mmHg. Then the monitor re-inflates (to
about 220 mmHg). At the end of the
measurement, the result is displayed in
the LCD and the cuff deflates.
Aborting a measurement
You can stop the measurement at any
time by pressing the 0/I-START button.
The BP monitor deflates the cuff instantly.

The memory function
The KP-6241 up to 85 measurements in
memory area. Together with each
measurement (systolic, diastolic and
heart rate), the date and time are also
saved. The measurement with the
longest residence time in the memory is
assigned number 1. All other
measurements increment by one until
number 85. Then the memory is full. The
next measurement occupies memory
location 85. The measurement formerly at
location 85 changes to location 84 (etc.,
8382 .... 21). The oldest
measurement formerly at location 1 is
lost.
Memory recall
With the MEMORY button you can recall
the memories.
Delete a blood pressure value from the
memory
Press the MEMORY button to view the
blood pressure value you want to delete.
Pressing the 0/I-START button instantly
(and holding it for at least 4 secs.)
displays:
dEL (for "delete") and the number of the
memory location.
Press the 0/I-START button instantly and
the value will be deleted.
Delete all blood pressure values in the
memory
Press the MEMORY button to display any
blood pressure value. Pressing the
POWRER key instantly (and holding it for
at least 4 secs.) displays:
dEL (for "delete") and the number of the
memory location
Press the MEMORY button instantly and
the LCD displays:
dEL (for "delete") and ALL (for all
memory locations).
Press the 0/I-START button instantly and
- 6 -
all values will be deleted. Time and date
are not deleted.

Examples:
Cleaning and maintenance
♥Do not expose the BP monitor to
extreme temperature, moisture, dust or
direct sunlight.
♥The cuff contains a sensitive airtight
bulb. Treat it with care and avoid any
stress by torsion or kinking.
♥Clean the BP monitor with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not use fuel, thinner or other
solvent. Remove specks on the cuff
carefully with a wet cloth and soap water.
Do not wash the cuff.
♥Do not drop the BP monitor or treat it
with force.
- 7 -
♥Do not try to open the BP monitor. This
will make the factory calibration invalid
Troubleshooting and remedies
If a fault is detected during a
measurement, the BM monitor displays
„Err“ and a symbol (code for service
personnel).
From many years of experience we know
that most faults are the consequence of
wrong use. The most frequent causes of
faults are excessive movement during the
measurement, wrong application of the
cuff, use of wrong batteries or use of a
rechargeable battery.
