The cuff should be firmly attached. Press the surface of the
cuff to ensure that it has been firmly applied. Please note that
inappropriate application of the cuff can lead to inaccurate
readings.
4. Measuring blood pressure
We recommend carrying out blood pressure measurements
whilst seated. Do not turn the device on until the cuff has been
applied, otherwise the cuff can become damaged through the
resulting excess pressure. Position the wrist with the strapped-
on device and the palm of the hand pointing inwards at the
level of the heart. Press the blue START/STOP button. The cuff is
automatically inflated to the applied pressure of approximately
190 mmHg. The pressure (indicated value) begins to fall and
the pulse is displayed by way of the heart symbol. Once the
measurement has been completed, the air is automatically
released from the cuff. The maximum and minimum blood
pressure and pulse rate are displayed (fig. 5).

Important: You should not move or talk throughout the entire
measuring procedure! If you wish to stop measurement for any
reason, simply press the blue START/STOP button. The inflation
or measuring procedure is interrupted and an automatic fall in
pressure occurs (fig. 6).
