must only be used with the mains part described here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on
the right-hand side of the blood pressure monitor. The mains part must
only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type
plate.
• Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the mains socket.

the mains socket first and then disconnect it from the blood pressure

are retained.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring. The meas-
urement can be performed on the left or right wrist.
Attach the cuff
Place the cuff on to the bare upper arm. The
circulation of the arm must not be hindered by
tight clothing or similar.
The cuff must be placed on the upper arm so
that the bottom edge is positioned 2 – 3 cm
above the elbow and over the artery. The line
points to the centre of the palm.
Now tighten the free end of the cuff, but make
sure that it is not too tight around the arm and
close the Velcro fastener. The cuff should be
fastened so that two fingers fit under the cuff.
