1.With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press the START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless it is wrapped around your arm. All digits will light up to check the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed after about 3 seconds. The (
) arrow will appear momentarily and then the display will show a “00”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure” at this point.
2.Using the hand of the arm that does not have the cuff on it (this will be your right hand if wearing the cuff on your left arm), squeeze the inflation bulb and continue pumping until the pressure reading on the display reaches 140 mmHg. The cuff will then begin slowly deflating as part of the measurement process.
If the pressure in the cuff is not enough, an upward arrow (
) will appear, directing you to continue pumping. It is recommended that you pump until the downward arrow (
) appears.
3.When the measurement is completed, the cuff will deflate entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into memory.
Note:
1.This monitor automatically turns off approximately 1 minute after last operation. You may also press the START/STOP button to turn the unit off.
2.To interrupt the measurement, you may press the
START/STOP button (recommended), “MEM”, or Date/Time Set
buttons. The cuff will deflate immediately after a button is pressed.
