TAKING A MEASUREMENT
The monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level.
In rare circumstances when a higher inflation may be necessary, the
monitor automatically re-inflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher than
the initial inflation and restarts the measurement.
1. Press the START/STOP button.
All display symbols appear on the screen. The cuff starts to inflate
automatically.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically determines
your ideal inflation level. Because this monitor detects the pulse even
during inflation, do not move your arm and remain still until the
entire measurement process has been completed.
NOTE: To stop the inflation or measurement, push the
START/STOP button. The monitor will stop inflating,
start deflating, and will turn off.
2. Inflation stops automatically and
the measurement is started.
As the cuff deflates, decreasing
numbers appear on the display.
