TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 
5.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) and a flashing 
symbol, indicating that monitor is ready for measurement.
NOTE: If the 
symbol is displayed, the cuff has some air trapped in it. Press the exhaust valve button until the 
symbol is displayed. You may have to press on the cuff while holding the exhaust valve to release all the air in the cuff.
6.When the 
symbol is displayed, begin cuff inflation by squeezing the
inflator bulb repeatedly. It may take a few seconds for the 
symbol to appear.
7.Stop squeezing the inflator bulb when 
symbol disappears or until cuff pressure reaches about 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg above expected systolic pressure. If inflating to a level above your expected systolic pressure, we recommend using the chart shown below to determine your inflation level.
