Changing the date/time
With the device switched off, hold down both memory buttons simul-
taneously for three seconds to enable the date and time to be set. Per-
form the setting as described on page 46.
If you take the opportunity to evaluate your blood pressure values on a
PC, the date and time are automatically compared with your PC's sys-
tem time during the data transfer. In case of deviations, a query will
appear on the PC screen asking whether the device's date and time
should be adjusted.

7. Attaching the cuff

Before applying the cuff, please check that the
circumference of your upper arm is within the
range specified on the cuff. An incorrect cuff
size could result in inaccurate readings.
• Expose your upper arm.
• Push the cuff onto the arm until the lower
edge of the cuff is 2-3 cm above the crook
of the arm (Figure 1, Figure 2).
• When placed on the left arm, the air hose
runs down the middle of the crook of the
arm to the device. This automatically po-
sitions the 4-cm long artery marking and
the microphone above the pulse position
(Figure 3).
• When placed on the right arm, the cuff
must be rotated to the left until the artery
marking and the microphone are above the
pulse position. The air hose then runs along
the inner side of the upper arm (Figure 4).

Operating the device
• Now pull the free end of the cuff tight and
close the Velcro fastener (Figure 5).
• Check that the measurement arrow on the
cuff is within the „Marking for arm circum-
ference" on the cuff edge (Figure 6).
• Connect the plug of the cuff to the cuff
connection on the left-hand side of the
device (Figure 7). Ensure that the cuff
connector's microphone plug is plugged
firmly into the device.
• Place the arm with the cuff on a table so that it is
loosely stretched out and hold it very still during
the measurement, do not talk. The palm of your
hand should be facing upwards.

8. Body position during the measurement

The measurement should preferably be performed in a sitting position.
Measurements in a lying position are also permitted in exceptional
cases. The body must be in a relaxed position.
Measurement in a sitting position
• Sit at a table (preferably at the height of a dining
table, not a coffee table).
• Sit with your back against the backrest of the
chair.
• Rest your entire lower arm on the table with the
palm facing upwards.
