5.

Press the START 1 or START 2 button. Your average blood

pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements

stored in memory (i.e. A25 = total of 25 measurements stored in

memory). 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 viewing measurements or storing readings in

memory are not desired, press both the START 1 and START

2 buttons at the same time. A reading will be taken, but not stored into

memory.
NOTE: To stop inflation at any time, press either START button.

6. As the cuff is inflating, the ❤ will appear to indicate that the measurement is

in progress. The monitor measures your blood pressure while the cuff is

inflating, so remain still. Once the pulse is detected, the symbol will flash

with each pulse beat.

7.

When measurement is complete, the systolic and

diastolic pressure and pulse rate readings are

displayed. The cuff will automatically deflate

completely, releasing any remaining air.

8.

Press START button once to turn off power. The

device has an automatic power-down feature which

turns off power automatically one minute after

measurement is obtained.

For the most useful blood pressure history, we recommend that you record the

date and time after each measurement. The most accurate history relies not on a

single or sporadic readings, but on a consistent monitoring pattern over time.

NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure measurement again, relax

and wait 5 minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return to

normal.
NOTE: If you have poor blood circulation in winter (especially when

your hands and wrists are cold), you may not get a blood pressure

measurement.
