We advise that you record the date and time after each measure-
ment because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on
single or sporadic readings but on a pattern over time.
NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure again, relax and
wait 5–10 minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return
to normal. There is no need to wait if someone else wishes to use
the monitor.
5.Press the START button, remain still and do not talk as the
cuff automatically inflates to the correct level.
6. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. You will see all
the display symbols appear briefly. As the cuff pressurizes,
blinking numerals—starting at zero—are displayed. When
inflation is complete, the MEASUREMENT IN PROGRESS
symbol blinks and beeps with each pulse beat.
NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press START button.
7. Wait for the long beep indicating the measurement is
complete. The systolic and diastolic pressure readings
and pulse rate are then displayed. The cuff deflates and the
monitor shuts itself off after a few moments, or you can turn it
off by pressing the start button.
8. Remove cuff and make a note of your blood
pressure and pulse rate on the chart (see page
16), indicating date and time of measurement.
