urements are lost.
They are considered to be toxic waste and, as such,
should be disposed of in special containers, toxic waste
collection points or brought to electrical goods dealers.
You are legally obliged to dispose of the batteries.
Note: You will find these markings on batteries
containing harmful substances: Pb = battery
containing lead, Cd = battery containing cad-
mium, Hg = battery containing mercury.

The date/time setting is necessary, so that you can save
your readings correctly with the date and time and call
them up again later.
To set the date and time, proceed as follows:

button

using the Start /Stop button

firm each setting with the Start /Stop button
ᕤ.
6. Applying the blood pressure computer
• Apply the blood pressure computer to the inside of
the left wrist.
• Ensure that the wrist is unclothed.
• Close the cuff with the Velcro
fastener, so that the top
margin of the computer is
about 10 mm below the ball
of the thumb (see illustration).
• The cuff must be placed tightly around the wrist but
must not constrict.
7. Measuring blood pressure
• Sit in a relaxed position.
• Ensure that your arm is supported
and bend it so that it is at the level
of your heart (see illustration).
• Before measurement allow an
adequate relaxation time of
3 – 5 minutes.
• Now press the Start /Stop button
ᕤ to start the meas-
urement.

bers light up, the cuff automatically pumps up to
