Measuring
For blood pressure measurements at the wrist an appropriate measuring position close to the heart is essential for accurate results.
1.Fasten the monitor on your left arm on top of the slim side of your forearm (see illustration). Make sure the cuff (G) fits tight.
Press the I/0 button (C).
2.Take the measuring position as shown. Your arms should remain close to your body. Make sure the monitor is approximately at heart level.
3a. When the monitor is at the appropriate meas- uring level, an acoustic signal will sound and the display will show a heart symbol. Both indicate that you have reached the appropriate measuring position. The measurement now starts auto- matically.
3b. If you have not assumed the appropriate measuring position right away, the monitor will guide you via an arrow on the display. Your arms should remain close to your body, resting comfortably. Move your forearm up or down (see illustration) in the direction of the arrow, until a signal sounds and the heart symbol appears.
Once you have reached an appropriate measuring position the measurement will start automatically.
When the measurement is complete, an acoustic signal will sound again, and the reading will be displayed.
