Relax during measurements.

1.Press the On/Off and Start button (Fig. 6-a).

•All displays on the unit will light up for approx. 2 seconds (Fig. 6-b).

•The cuff will begin to inflate automatically.

If the measured values fall within the hypertension range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user.

According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg (Sys.) and/or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure.

Changing inflation speeds and operating sounds occur during inflation and are a normal part of the measurements that are being performed at this time.

2.	With fingers lightly clenched to form a fist, position your
	free hand beneath the arm of the wrist being measured.
• Once your pulse rate is detected, the		mark will flash
	on the display (Fig. 6-c).
3.	Blood pressure values together with pulse rate are
	displayed when the measurement is complete (Fig. 6-d).
• The air in the pressure cuff is released automatically.

• Displayed readings will flash (for approx. 6 seconds)
when in the high blood pressure range.
• The	mark will flash on the screen to indicate that
readings may be recorded.
(See page 15 for information on how to record blood
pressure readings.)
• The displayed pulse rate indicates the number of

heartbeats per minute as calculated from the number of heartbeats recorded during the measurement.

4.Press the On/Off and Start button to switch off the unit (Fig. 6-e).

•If you wish to make another measurement, switch off and wait for 4 to 5 minutes before performing another one.

•If you forget to switch the unit off, it will do so automatically after approx. 5 minutes.

•Blood pressure readings will flash for approx. 6 seconds when in the high blood pressure range (Fig. 7).

Systolic blood pressure: 140 mmHg and over

Diastolic blood pressure: 90 mmHg and over (Only when measurement is complete)
