The unit has a date/time function which you can activate where necessary. This
function is deactivated when the unit is delivered.

deactivated at any time in the same way.
Setting the date/time
The four-digit number representing the year appears in the
display first (Fig. 1). Press the Memory button to set the
year. Press the Start/Stop button to confirm the selected year
and proceed to setting the date.
Set the month with the Memory button and confirm this
with the Start/Stop button. Set the day, hours and minutes
in the same way (Fig. 2, Fig. 3).
Changing the date/time

wait until the display goes blank. Now you can reactivate
the date/time function and reset the date and time again.

7. Attaching the cuff
Before putting on the cuff, please check whether your arm circumference is within
the range specified on the cuff. An incorrect cuff size can lead to inaccurate
readings.
•
Expose the upper arm.
•
Push the cuff onto the arm (Fig. 1) until the
lower edge of the cuff is 2-3 cm above the
crook of the arm (Fig. 2).
•
When using the unit on the left arm, the air
hose runs to the unit through the middle of
the arm so that the 4 cm long artery marking
is automatically located centrally above the
pulse position (Fig. 3).
•
When using the unit on the right arm, the cuff
must be rotated to the left until the artery
marking is on the pulse position. The air hose
then runs along the inside of the upper arm
(Fig. 4).
•
The cuff should be tightened to such an extent
that 2 fingers can still be inserted between
arm and cuff. Tip:
– Bend your arm slightly.
– The upper arm muscle is tensioned slightly.
– This slightly increases the circumference of
the arm.
•
Now pull the free cuff end tight and close the
Velcro fastener (Fig. 5)
