Note:
a) When the pressure in measurement
mode increases above 320 mmHg, the
quick release valve is triggered and the
pressure circuit opens. When the press-
ure in test mode increases above 320
mmHg, the measured value display
flashes.
b) Remove the plug from the cuff tube for
testing. Then attach the short connec-
ting piece of the plug – previously
inserted into the socket on the monitor
– to the cuff tube and insert the long
connecting piece of the plug into the
monitor.
A pump ball must also be introduced
into the pressure circuit.
