TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
4. Press the START 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, measure- ment 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 an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device auto- matically starts to inflate again.
NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the START button again.
5.When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed. The cuff deflates and the monitor automatically shuts off after 45 seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing the START button.
