Please wait for at least one minute between two measurements.
5.4 Starting the measurement
■ ■
Start a measurement only after applying the cuff because the cuff may
otherwise be damaged by the excess pressure that is created. Press the START/
STOP button . The appearance of all display segments, followed by the time
and date, indicates that the monitor is carrying out its self-test and is ready for
use.
■ ■
Check the display segments to ensure that they are complete.
■ ■
After about 3 seconds, the cuff inflates automatically. If this inflation pressure
is insufficient or if interference is experienced during measurement, the device
will increase pressure to the appropriate higher pressure value in increments
of 30 mmHg. During inflation, the results indicator on the left of the display
also increases at the same time. (If no pulse is detected, the device inflates to
a maximum of about 180 mmHg.)
If a higher inflation pressure is usually required, you can avoid
re-pumping by holding down the blue START/STOP button again
after the inflation process has started until the desired cuff pressure
is reached. This should be about 30 mmHg above the systolic (upper)
value.
■ ■
If the cuff has been applied firmly enough on the arm, the cuff symbol
appears on the display. If the cuff symbol does not appear on the display,
the cuff is not applied tightly enough and the error message ‘ ‘ may
also appear on the display after a few seconds. Follow the instructions above
