TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
5..Press the START button. 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 an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device automatically starts to inflate again.
NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the START button again.
6..When the inflation is complete, the deflation starts automatically and the 
symbol blinks, indicating that the measurement is in progress. Once the pulse is detected, the symbol flashes with each pulse beat.
NOTE: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device automatically starts to inflate
again.
7..When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed.
The cuff deflates and the monitor automati- cally shuts off after 60 seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing the START button.

8..The reading is then stored into memory. See page
9..Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure and pulse rate on the chart in the back of the manual, indicating date and time of measurement.
We advise that you record the date and time after each measurement because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings but on a pattern over time.
