6.
Press the START 1 or START 2 button. Your average
blood pressure reading will appear with the number of
measurements stored in memory (i.e. A25 = total of 25
measurements stored in memory). As the cuff pressur-
izes, measurement will begin and the Cuff Inflation
Meter will show on the display screen. It is normal for
the cuff to feel very tight.
NOTE: If viewing measurements or storing readings in memory are not
desired, press both the START 1 and START 2 buttons at the same time. A
reading will be taken, but not stored into memory.
NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press either START button
again.
NOTE: The maximum cuff pressure is set at 280 mmHg. If it reaches 280
mmHg, the auto exhaust will be triggered and cuff pressure will deflate to 0.
7.
When the inflation is complete, the deflation
starts automatically and the
❤
blinks, indi-
cating that the measurement is in progress.
Once the pulse is detected, the
❤
symbol
flashes with each pulse beat.
NOTE: If an appropriate pressure is not
obtained, the device automatically starts to
inflate again.
8.
When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure
readings and pulse rate are displayed and stored. See Page E-10 for more
details about the memory function. The cuff deflates and the monitor
automatically shuts off after 60 seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing
either START button.
9.
Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure and pulse rate on
the chart provided, indicating date and time of measurement. Additional
logbook charts can be downloaded and printed for free at
www.LifeSourceOnline.com or in Canada, www.autocontrol.com.
We advise that you record the date and time after each measurement because
an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings
but on a pattern over time.
NOTE: Allow at least 5 minutes between measurements on the same
person.
