monitor. The mains part must only be connected to the
mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.

mains socket.

part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it

retained.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Attaching the cuff
Place the cuff onto the bare upper
arm. The circulation of the arm
must not be hindered by tight
clothing or similar.
The cuff must be placed on the
upper arm so that the bottom
edge is positioned 2 – 3 cm above
the elbow and over the artery. The
line should point to the centre of
the palm.
Now tighten the free end of the
cuff, but make sure that it is not
too tight around the arm and close
the hook-and-loop fastener. The
cuff should be fastened so that
two fingers can fit under the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
This cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark ( ) is within the OK
range after fitting the cuff on the
upper arm.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of your elbow.
Ensure that your arm is not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm,
which may mean that the measured blood pressure val-
ues are different. Always perform the measurement on the
same arm.
