2. Press the START button.
The number of data stored in memory is displayed.
Zero (0) is displayed blinking briefly.
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, on the left edge of the display, during the 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 (heart mark) blinks, indicating that the measurement is in progress. Once the pulse is detected, the mark blinks with each pulse beat.
