(See page 26 for instructions on setting and checking
reminder-alarm times.)
3. Blood pressure values together with pulse rate are
displayed when the measurement
is complete with
sounds (Fig. 7-d).
e The air in the pressure cuff is released automatically.
e The blood pressure sign LEDs light up (for approx. 6
seconds) indicating your blood pressure level.

readings will flash (for approx. 6 seconds)
when in the high blood pressure range.

heartbeats per minute as calculated from the number
of heartbeats recorded during the measurement.
