TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
5. Press the START 1 or START 2 button. Your average blood pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements stored in memory (i.e. A25 = total of 25 measurements stored in memory). As the cuff pressurizes, measurement will begin and the Cuff Inflation Meter will show on the display screen. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
NOTE: If viewing measurements or storing readings in
memory are not desired, press both the START 1 and START 2 buttons at the same time. A reading will be taken, but not stored into memory.
NOTE: To stop inflation at any time, press either START button.
6.As the cuff is inflating, the ❤ will appear to indicate that the measurement is in progress. The monitor measures your blood pressure while the cuff is inflating, so remain still. Once the pulse is detected, the symbol will flash with each pulse beat.
7.When measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate readings are displayed. The cuff will automatically deflate completely, releasing any remaining air.
8.Press START button once to turn off power. The device has an automatic

For the most useful blood pressure history, we recommend that you record the date and time after each measurement. The most accurate history relies not on a single or sporadic readings, but on a consistent monitoring pattern over time.
NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure measurement again, relax and wait 5 minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return to normal.
NOTE: If you have poor blood circulation in winter (especially when your hands and wrists are cold), you may not get a blood pressure measurement.
