MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:
• Position the monitor at the same level as your
heart during measurement to ensure accurate
readings.
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat
and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be
affected by the position of the user, his or her
physiologic condition and other factors. For
greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising,
bathing, eating, drinking beverages with
alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure
blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you
sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements
taken during a relaxed state will have greater
accuracy. You should not be physically tired or
exhausted while taking a measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move
your arm or hand muscles.
• See page 20 for additional notes regarding
your blood pressure measurement
If you are using this blood pressure
monitor for the first time, please remove the
protective film from the screen.

1. With the cuff wrapped around your wrist,
press the START/STOP button. Do not
inflate the cuff unless it is wrapped around
your wrist. All digits will light up, checking the
display functions. The checking procedure
will be completed after about 2 seconds.
2. After all symbols disappear, the display will
show a blinking "0". The monitor is "Ready to
Measure" and will automatically inflate the
cuff to begin measurement. The cuff will then
begin deflating as measurement continues.
Note: The monitor will re-inflate automatically
if the system detects that your
body requires more pressure for
measurement.
