CARRYING OUT MEASUREMENTS
1.
Attach the cuff to your wrist as described above.
2)
Press the ON/OFF button. All
indicators are displayed for a few
seconds on the screen; then the screen
shows the time and the most recently
selected memory space.
Measurement starts automatically; the
device inflates the cuff.
If the pressure is too low, the device
pauses and pumps up the cuff again
until it reaches a pressure that is
appropriate for measurement.
3)
The measuring process starts when the correct pressure has been reached.
In order to receive an accurate reading, do not move the cuff, your arm or hand muscles
during the measurement process. The device also measures your pulse. The value
displayed will fall during measurement.
If you want to stop the measurement, press the ON/OFF button. The
air is released from the cuff automatically.
If you want to repeat a measurement you should wait at least five
minutes. The air must be completely removed from the cuff.
4)
The cuff automatically deflates when the measurement is
complete. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the
pulse with the pulse icon appear in the display.
The
entry flashes for a few seconds (see next page).
Press the ON/OFF button again to switch off the device.
