Taking your Blood Pressure
Normal Measurement
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably
the left arm).
Sit quietly during measurement.
2. Press the START button. All of the
display segments are displayed.
Zero is displayed blinking briefly.
Then the display changes, as
indicated in the figure at the right,
as the measurement begins. The
cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for
the cuff to feel very tight. A pressure
bar indicator is displayed, as in the
figure at the right, during inflation.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press
the START button again.
3. When inflation is complete, deflation
starts automatically and the
(heart mark) blinks, indicating that
the measurement is in progress.
Once the pulse is detected, the
mark blinks with each pulse beat.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the
monitor starts to inflate again automatically.
4. When the measurement is
complete, the systolic and diastolic
pressure readings and pulse rate
are displayed. The cuff exhausts
the remaining air and deflates
completely.
5. Press the START button again to
turn off the power.
Note: This product is provided with an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the power
off approximately one minute after measurement.
