5.5 Starting the Study
The monitor is on and start the first BP reading automatically or by pressing the Start/Stop button.
The cuff will inflate and complete the BP measurement. The cuff will then be fully deflated.
When measurement is in progress, real-time BP readings should appear on the display of the
monitor. When measurement is completed, the results of systolic BP, diastolic BP, pulse rate and
“Auto” are shown. This indicates that the first measurement succeeds. The monitor now runs in
the auto mode and the study is in progress as programmed. The first measurement readings are
saved as data of the study.

Press and hold the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds. The event mark appears.
To stop a measurement in progress:
Press the Start/Stop button. The monitor will stop a measurement in-progress.
To manually start a measurement:
Press the Start/Stop button before an auto measurement. The readings of such a measurement are
saved.
Auto restarting measurement:
In the auto mode, if a measurement fails, the monitor will re-start the measurement in 3 min. The
subsequent measurements will not be affected.
To light up the display
After the 24-hour time is shown for 20s, the display of the monitor turns itself off. Press any
button to light up the display prior to operation.
5.6 Finishing the Study
When the study is finished, the patient returns. Take the monitor, cuff, and pouch strap off and
