HOW TO TAKE A READING
Ready to Measure
Initial LCD Test
Inflation started.
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately
one second.
b) When the monitor becomes ready to measure,
the Heart Symbol appears on the display.
2. Press the START button and
remain still.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor
automatically determines your ideal inflation
level. Because this monitor detects the pulse
even during inflation, do not move your arm
and remain still until the entire measurement
completes.
3. Inflation stops automatically and
measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates, decreasing
numbers appear on the display and the Heart
Symbol ( ) flashes at every heartbeat. In rare
circumstances, a higher inflation may be
necessary. In those cases, the monitor
reinflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher than
initial inflation and restarts the measurement.
4. When the measurement is complete,
the arm cuff completely deflates and
your blood pressure and pulse rate
are displayed.
NOTE: The monitor automatically stores blood
pressure and pulse rate into the memory.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn
the monitor off.
NOTE: If you forget to turn the monitor off, it
will automatically shut itself off after five
minutes.
