measurement is in progress. The monitor measures your blood
pressure while the cuff is inflating, so remain still. Once the pulse is
detected, the symbol will flash with each pulse beat.

When measurement is complete, the systolic and
diastolic pressure and pulse rate readings are
displayed. The cuff will automatically deflate
completely, releasing any remaining air.
8.
Press either START button once to turn off power.
The device has an automatic power-down feature
which turns off power automatically one minute
after measurement is obtained.
For the most useful blood pressure history, we recommend that you record
the date and time after each measurement. The most accurate history
relies not on a single or sporadic readings, but on a consistent monitoring
pattern over time.
NoTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure measurement again, relax and wait 5-10
minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return to normal.
NoTE: If you have poor blood circulation in winter (especially when your hands and
wrists are cold), you may not get a blood pressure measurement.

The UB-521CN Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and
pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The
Irregular Heartbeat symbol will appear in the display window in
the event an Irregular Heartbeat has occurred during measurement. An
irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the
average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement.
It is important that you relax, remain still and refrain from talking during
measurements.
NoTE: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this symbol frequently.
