Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare
Ÿ
the results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading.
Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor
Ÿ
who is also familiar with your personal medical history. When using the
unit regularly and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit
the doctor from time to time to keep him updated.
When taking readings, remember that the daily values are influenced
Ÿ
by several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and
physical exertion influence the measured values in various ways.
Measure your blood pressure before meals.
Ÿ
Before taking readings, allow yourself at least five minutes rest.
Ÿ
If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low)
Ÿ
on several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform
your doctor. This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular
or very weak pulse prevents you from taking readings.
Insertion: Open the battery compartment on the underside of the unit by
exerting gentle pressure in the direction indicated by the arrow, and insert
the four batteries included with the unit (alkaline batteries, AA type, LR 6).
Remember to insert the batteries as indicated in the diagram in the battery
compartment. Replace the lid, pressing it until it snaps into place.
Removal: When the battery symbol appears in the display, please
replace the batteries with new ones. Should the used batteries be jammed
in the compartment, use a pointed instrument, such as a ballpoint pen, to
carefully prise them out.
The display showing the year will flash after inserting the batteries for the
first time. Set the date and time as described in 3.3 Set Date and Time.
Please note that the date and time will have to be reset each time new
batteries are inserted. Previously stored results will be lost.
