3. Always measure in a sitting position and on the same wrist. Use
the wrist which usually shows higher blood pressure values.
4. Remove any items of clothing and your watch, for example, so
that your wrist is free.
5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in the
pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.
6. Fit the cuff comfortably but not too tight. The cuff will cover a wrist
circumference of 13.5 - 21.5 cm (5.25 - 8.5 inches).

move and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.

4. Appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Symbol
This symbol AM indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected. In
this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your actual
blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the measure-
ment.
Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of
the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and
indicates when the heart rate is irregular.
5. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display
The bars on the left-hand edge of the display AK show you the range
within which the indicated blood pressure value lies. Depending on
the height of the bar, the readout value is either within the optimum
(green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or dangerously high
