Please read the previous section on proper placement of the cuff and proper arm position.
1. After the cuff is properly placed, and you are ready to take a measurement, press the
Start/Stop button. After the display reads “00”, the cuff will automatically inflate to an
appropriate pressure. After the inflation, it slowly deflates to take the measurement.
The heart mark “ ” indicates that the measurement is in process.
The cuff will be quite snug for a short while, and this is normal. Try to remain
relaxed, refrain from talking, and be as still as possible during the measurement.
Note: If the device determined that the initial inflation pressure was insufficient,
it will re-inflate to a higher pressure.
3. The device will completely deflate
when the measurement is finished.
The systolic and diastolic pressure
and pulse rate will be displayed.
TO END a measurement for any reason, just press the Start/stop button to turn off
the unit and release the cuff pressure.
