6. The result, comprising the systolic AT and the diastolic AK blood
pressure and the pulse rate AL is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
7. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
8. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).

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).

Manual inflation

In case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135
mmHg), 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.

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» AO is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the time button 4.

«CL» is displayed when the reading is deleted from the
memory successfully.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display AN points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The
value is either within the optimum (white), elevated (hatched gray)
or high (black) range. The classification corresponds to the
following ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC,
JSH). Data in mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure ≥135 too high
2. blood pressure 130 - 134 80 - 84
elevated
3. blood pressure <130
normal
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
BP B1 Classic
≥85 Seek medical advice
Self-check
<80 Self-check

Appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Symbol

This symbol AS indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected.
In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your
actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the
measurement.
Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of
the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and
indicates when the heart rate is irregular.

4. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» AO and «A», which stands for the average
of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit AQ-A are
not considered in the average value.

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 31
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 ALL» appears and then release the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the
time button while «CL ALL» is flashing. Individual values cannot
be cleared.

Cancel deletion: press ON/OFF button 1 while «CL
ALL» is flashing.
