3.3Taking a Reading

1.Press the O/I START button to turn the unit on. The cuff starts to inflate automatically.

Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so that the cuff will be at the same level as your heart. Keep still and do not talk during measurement.

Note: To cancel a measurement, press the O/I START button to turn the unit off and to release the air in the arm cuff.

2.Inflation stops and the measurement starts with deflating. As the cuff deflates, the heartbeat symbol ( ) flashes at every heartbeat.

3.When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.

4.Check the measurement results.

The unit automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate into its memory. Refer to “3.5 Using the Memory Function”.
