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.

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.

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.

The reading is then stored into memory. See page E-10 for more
details about the memory function.

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.
