4. SETTING UP YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR

4.1 Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, insert the batteries. The battery

compartment is located on the back side of the device (see illustration).

a) Remove cover from the bottom plate, as illustrated.

b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AA ). Always use AA long life batteries

or alkaline 1.5v batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

c) If a battery warning appears in the display, the batteries are discharged

and must be replaced.

Attention!

• After the battery warning appears, the device will not operate until the batteries have been replaced.

• If the blood pressure monitor will be left unused for long periods, remove the batteries from the device.

Functional check: Hold the ON/OFF (START) button down to test all the display elements.

When functioning correctly all segments must appear.

4.2. Using an AC/DC power adapter (special accessory)

It is possible to operate this blood pressure instrument with an AC/DC adapter. (output 6 V DC / 600 mA

with DIN plug). Make certain that you use an adapter which fulfills the legal requirements and electronic

requirements in the U.S. (UL standard)

a) Insert the plug into the left socket on the left side of

the instrument, as shown in the diagram.

b) Plug the AC adapter into a 110 V

power socket (U.S. or Canada).

c) Test that power is available by

pressing the ON/OFF button.

Note:

• No power is taken from the batteries while the AC/DC adapter is connected to the instrument.

• If the power is interrupted during a measurement (e.g. by removal of the adapter from the wall socket),

the instrument must be reset by removing the plug from the instrument.

• Consult ADC

if you have questions

relating to the AC/DC adapter.

Warning:

• Use only ADC

or ADC

approved adaptors on your

blood pressure unit. ADC

is not responsible for

damages caused by the use of non-ADC

adaptors.

Using a non-ADC

adaptor voids the warranty on your

digital blood pressure unit.

4.3. Tube connection

Insert the cuff tube into the right socket

on the left side of the instrument,

as shown in the diagram.

5.5. Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure

measurement for any reason (e.g the patient feels

unwell), the START button can be pressed at any time.

The device then immediately lowers the cuff pressure

automatically.

5.6. Memory – displaying the last 14 measurements

The measured results are stored in the instrument until a new

measurement is carried out or the batteries are removed. With the

unit OFF, press and hold the MEMORY button for at least

3-seconds. The screen will show the last reading along with time and date.

The MR symbol is displayed in the lower left. Release the button.The last

reading will be displayed for 3 more seconds. Each time you press the

memory button an earlier measurement will be displayed along with time and date.

☞ Further information

Measurements should not occur soon after each other, since

the results will be inaccurate. Wait 5 minutes in a relaxed position,

sitting or lying down, before you repeat a measurement.

6. ERROR MESSAGES/TROUBLESHOOTING

If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement is

discontinued and a corresponding error code is displayed.

(example: Err 1)

Error No. Possible cause(s) / Solutions

Err 1 The systolic pressure was not determined. The tube

may have loosened, or no pulse was detected.

*Ensure cuff connections are tight with

proper cuff placement. See Section 5.3.

Err 2 Unnatural pressure impulses.

The arm was moved during the measurement.

Repeat measurement keeping arm still.
