9 instructions for measurement
Start the Monitor by pressing the
START/STOP
key .
When the
START/STOP
key is pressed, all digits will light up. This is a check of the
display functions which is complete after about 1 second. The last reading taken will
appear in the display.
The unit is ready for use. The unit will automatically start to inflate slowly to measure
your blood pressure. During inflation, the pressure build-up symbol will appear in the
display. The unit inflates the cuff until sufficient pressure has built up for a measurement.
When pressure reaches to the proximity of your systolic blood pressure, the monitor will
exhaust cuff pressure. The pressure build-up symbol in the display will disappear; in its
place the pressure reduction symbol will now appear.
While measuring, do not move the cuff or your arm or hand muscles, don’t speak. The
cuff will deflate automatically. While the unit determines your pulse frequency, the pulse
symbol will flash.
Once the reading is complete, both the systolic and the diastolic blood pressure, along
with the pulse value, will automatically appear in the display. The measurement values
are automatically stored in the memory. Up to 60 memories can be saved in the Memory
Zone. Pressing the
START/STOP
key turns off the power. The unit will automatically
turn off after about 2 minutes of inactivity.
