Starting the unit The unit has a speech function in several languages. To set your language, proceed as follows: Hold the M button pressed until the voice announces the required language. While doing this the display shows the current language with L0, L1, L2, etc. Now press and hold the M button again until the volume you want is selected. After the volume increases by a level you will hear a signal tone and the left-hand side of the display will show a volume bar, the size of which will indicate the volume level. The language and volume have now been set, the unit returns to the time-set mode. Pull down and wrap it around and upwards, so that there is no gap between the sleeve and your wrist. If the sleeve is not firmly attached the pressure will increase and the wrist will become numb. If the sleeve cannot be attached to your left arm and if it is not possible to measure your left arm, use your right one. To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. Place your elbow on the table or other supporting surface, and hold your arm so that the wrist sleeve is at heart height. In doing so, support your lower arm on the storage box or on a folded towel or similar. It is important to measure your blood pressure at home and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure, which can change over the course of a day, is recorded properly. Inform your doctor of the values measured so that he can give you medical advice. Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that measured at the upper arm. The values may be slightly different because of the different measurement positions and the strength of the blood vessels in the wrist and upper arm. In many cases, the difference for healthy people can be ±10 mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Attention is advised for the following types of person: People with high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease, hardened arteries, poor circulation.
