4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for 

early Detection 

This symbol 

AM

 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. Data Memory

This instrument always stores the last result at the end of the 

measurement. To call up the value, press and hold down the 

ON/OFF button 

1

 (the instrument must be switched off first). All 

display elements are now shown. Release the button when you 

see the stored reading value and the letter «

M

».

6. Replacing the Slot-in Card

You can replace the slot-in card 

3

 by pulling it out to the side, as 

shown in 

Fig. IV

 and replacing the paper insert.

It may be helpful to have your doctor note down the medication 

dosage or an emergency telephone number on the card. Extra 

cards are supplied with the instrument for this purpose.

7. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol 

AO

 will flash as soon as the instrument is switched on (partly filled 

battery displayed). Although the instrument will continue to 

measure reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries. 

Flat battery – replacement

When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol 

AO

 will flash as soon 

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

take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.

Which batteries and which procedure?

Using rechargeable batteries

You can also operate this instrument using rechargeable batteries.

11. When the measurement has finished, press the quick-acting 

discharge valve 

AL

 in order to release any remaining air in 

the cuff. Remove the cuff and pack it into the instrument as 

shown in 

Fig. II

.

12. Enter the result in the enclosed blood pressure pass and 

switch off the instrument. (The monitor does switch off auto-

matically after approx. 1 min.).

H

You can interrupt the measurement at any time by pressing 

the quick-acting discharge valve 

AL

 (e.g. if you feel uneasy 

or notice an unpleasant pressure sensation).

Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the 

Arrhythmia indicator

This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that 

also analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instru-

ment 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.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but 

serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

1. Open the battery compartment 

7

 at the back of the instrument 

by pushing inwards at the two arrows and pulling out the 

battery compartment cover.

2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the 

symbols in the compartment.

H

Use 4 new, long-life 1.5V, size AA batteries.

H

Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.

H

Remove batteries if the instrument is not going to be used 

for a prolonged period.

H

Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.

H

Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat 

battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the 

instrument as they may become damaged (total discharge as 

a result of low use of the instrument, even when switched off).

H

Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not 

intend to use the instrument for a week or more.

H

Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor. 

Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the 

information regarding charging, care and durability.
