Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg,

use this procedure.

1. Place the cuff on the arm

(preferably the left arm).

2. Press and hold the START button

until a number about 30 to 40 mmHg

higher than your expected systolic

pressure appears.

3. Release the START button to start

measurement, when the desired

number is reached. Then continue

to measure your blood pressure as

described on the previous page.

Notes For Proper Measurement

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the

measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at

the same height as your heart.

Relax before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by

emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower)

than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster

than normal.

An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are

doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and

rapid effect on your blood pressure.

This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak

or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your blood

pressure.

Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the

measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4 for the description of

the symbols.

This device is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician before

using this device on a child. A child should not use this device unattended.
