3. Press the ON/OFF Button. Three sets of symbols will
appear in rapid sequence on the display. (Fig. 3) Wait
for the
"O"
symbol to appear in the display before
starting measurement, indicating the unit is ready to
measure.
4. Slide the Cuff Size Adjuster to the right until the Cuff
Size Indicator light turns on. When the red light turns
on, this means that the Finger Cuff is too tight. If your
fingers are slender, the smallest finger cuff position may
be the most suitable. In this case, the red Too Tight
Indicator will not light up. An inaccurate blood pressure
reading may result from improper Finger Cuff adjust-
ment.
5. Hold the Monitor steady at heart level with one or
both hands. Be sure that when holding the Monitor, your
left hand is relaxed. Press the Start Button. The Finger
Cuff will automatically inflate to a pressure of about 200
mmHg. If a higher starting point than 2OOmmHg is
required, the monitor will stop inflation automatically,
then resume inflation after determining the correct
starting point.
