INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIAL CONDITIONS

Instructions for special conditions If your systolic pressure is known to
be more than 220 mmHg, press and hold the START/STOP button until
the arm cuff inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your suspected systolic
pressure.

1. 

Press the START/STOP button

to turn

the unit on.

Measurement starts.

2. When the cuff starts to inflate, 

press the START/STOP button

and

keep it pressed until the pressure is 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your
suspected systolic pressure.

NOTE:

You cannot inflate the cuff above 299 mmHg. (An error will

be displayed if you try to inflate the cuff above 300mmHg.)

3. 

Release the START/STOP button

when the cuff has been inflated to

the desired pressure. The cuff starts to deflate and measurement starts.

4. The rest of the procedure is the same as for normal measurement.

Refer to steps 2 to 5 on pages 18 to 19.
