Measurements
Before measurement, read “Notes for Proper Measurement” on page 14.
Normal Measurement
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
Sit quietly during measurement.
2. Press the START button.
All of the display segments are displayed.
Zero (0) is displayed blinking briefly.
The display changes, as indicated in the figure
at the right, as the measurement begins. The
cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the cuff to
feel very tight. A pressure bar indicator is
displayed, on the left edge of the display,
during the inflation.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time,
press the
START button again.
3. When inflation is complete, deflation starts
automatically and
(heart mark) blinks,
indicating that the measurement is in progress.
Once the pulse is detected, the mark blinks
with each pulse beat.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not
obtained, the device starts to inflate
again automatically.
To avoid re-inflation, see “Measurement
with the Desired Systolic Pressure”
on the next page.
4. When the measurement is complete, the
systolic and diastolic pressure readings and
pulse rate are displayed.
The cuff exhausts the remaining air and deflates
completely.
5. Press the START button to turn the device off.
After one minute of non-operation, the device
will turn off automatically.
Note: Allow at least three minutes between
measurements on the same person.
