9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator 

AP

 flashes in the 

display.

10.The result, comprising the systolic 

AL

 and the diastolic 

AM

blood pressure and the pulse rate 

AN

 is displayed.

11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.

12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-

cally after approx. 1 min.).

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF 

button 

1

 until «

M

» 

BT

 is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by 

pressing the M-button 

9

.



You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the 

ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant 

pressure sensation). 



If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high

, 

it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press 

the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up to 

a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the 

button pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above 

the expected systolic value – then release the button. 

4. Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia Indicator for 

early Detection 

This symbol 

AS

 indicates that certain pulse irregularities were 

detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may 

deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-

ment. 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:

5. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the traffic light display 

AO

 show 

you the range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies. 

Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either 

within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or 

dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to 

the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines 

(ESH, AHA, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

6. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 

9

 briefly, when the device is switched off. The 

display first shows «

M

» 

BT

 and an average value. The device then 

switches to the last stored value.

Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing 

the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored 

value to another.

Memory full



Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 30 

memories is not exceeded. 

When the 30 memory is full, the 

oldest value is automatically overwritten with the 31st 

value.

 Values should be evaluated by a doctor before the 

memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored 

values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been 

switched off beforehand) until «

CL

» appears and then release the 

button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button 

while «

CL

» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.

7. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol 

AT

will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery 

displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you 

should obtain replacement batteries. 

Flat battery – replacement

When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol 

AT

 will flash as soon 

as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot 

take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.

Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the 

Arrhythmia indicator

This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also 

analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is 

clinically tested.

The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if 

pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol 

appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on 

measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to 

seek medical advice.

This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves 

to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
