6.Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7.Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your
physician.A single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure.You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time.Try to measure your blood
pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
8.Wait 30~60 seconds between measurements.The wait time allows
the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood
pressure measurement.You may need to increase the wait time
depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

Before Taking A Measurement
When the unit detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the
measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol will appear on the
display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is
defined as a rhythm that is more
than 25% slower or 25% faster
from the average rhythm detected
while the monitor is measuring the
systolic blood pressure and the
diastolic blood pressure.
If the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( ) displays with your measurement
results, we recommend you consult your physician.
Follow the directions of your doctor.
