10.When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,
the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
11.During the measurement, the heart symbol AM flashes in the
display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.
12.The result, comprising the systolic 6 and the diastolic 7 blood
pressure and the pulse rate 8 is displayed and a long beep is
heard. Note also the explanations on further display symbols in
this booklet.
13.Remove and switch off the monitor and enter the result in the
enclosed blood pressure pass. (The monitor does switch off auto-
matically after approx. 1 min.).
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button or open the cuff (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an
unpleasant pressure sensation).
4. Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol
This symbol AK 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
measurement.

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 indi-
cates when the heart rate is irregular.
5. Data memory
This device automatically stores up to 30 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.
6. Battery indicator and battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AL will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably,
you should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery - replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AL will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot take
any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
