4.2. Using a mains adapter (special accessory)
It is possible to operate this blood-pressure instrument Through a mains adaptor (output 6 V DC / 600 mA
with DIN plug). Make certain that you use a mains adaptor which fulfils the legal requirements (CE sign on
the type plate).
a) Plug the DIN plug into the socket at the left
side of the instrument.
b) Plug the mains adaptor into a 230/110 V
power socket.
c) Test that power is available by pressing the
O/I button.
Note:
• No power is taken from the batteries while the mains adaptor is connected to the instrument.
• If the mains voltage is interrupted during the measurement (e.g. by removal of the mains adaptor from
the mains socket), the instrument must be reset by removing the DIN plug from its socket.
• Please consult a specialist dealer if you have questions relating to the mains adaptor.
4.3. Tube connection
Insert the cuff tube into the opening provided on
the left side of the instrument, as shown in the
diagram.
5. Carrying out a measurement
5.1. Before the measurement
• Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement. All these
factors influence the measurement result. Try and find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quite
atmosphere for about ten minutes before the measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Measure always on the same arm (normally left).
• Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the same time of day, since the blood-pressure
changes during the course of the day.
