3. Important instructions for use

• Refrain from drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages and smoking at least
one hour before measuring.
• Please rest at least 5 minutes before measuring. Depending on the previous
degree of stress/exertion, this can even require up to one hour.
• Expose the upper arm, the clothes must not impair the blood flow in or from the
arm as this influences the blood pressure at the measurement point.
• Body posture must be relaxed:
– For this purpose, sit at a table (if possible the height of a dining table, not
a coffee table!).
– Rest your back against the backrest of the chair.
– Rest your forearm completely flat, with the palm of your hand facing
upwards.
– Place your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
• It is absolutely essential to sit still and remain quiet. Irregular movements,
vibrations (shaking), talking and breathing heavily will affect and may even
falsify the measurement. Look out for irregular pulse signals in the display; if
necessary, repeat the measurement under more favourable conditions.
• Unusual measurement results are possible with all automatically measuring
blood pressure measurement systems from time to time. Check yourself:
did you comply with the instructions for use above? If necessary, repeat the
measurement after allowing the blood circulation in the arm to recuperate
briefly; rest for about 3-5 minutes for this purpose. Tip: Remain seated, your
monitor will switch off automatically about 3 minutes after a measurement.
Afterwards, we recommend that you repeat the measurement.
• Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It may fluctuate upwards or downwards by
more than 20 mmHg on patients within a few minutes.
• In order to rule out differences between left and right and to obtain
comparable measurement results, it is important always to take blood
pressure measurements on the same arm. Ask your doctor which arm he/she
recommends you take your measurements on.

4. Initial operation of the unit

Insert the supplied batteries into the unit.
If the unit is to be operated from the mains power supply, the cable plug of the mains
adapter (not included in the scope of delivery) must be inserted into the connection
socket on the right side of the unit. The batteries are switched off automatically.
Please use only the UEBE type A1 mains adapter. See original spare parts and
accessories, Page EN-50.

5. Inserting/replacing batteries:

• Opening the battery compartment
Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the underside of the unit.
• Inserting batteries
Remove the old batteries from the unit and insert the new ones. Please observe
proper polarity (marking in battery compartment).
• Closing the battery compartment
Close the battery compartment by clipping the battery
cover back into the unit.
When the display shows the "Flat battery
for the first time, the unit will still have enough charge
for about 30 measurements. Please change the batteries
during this period.
