TAKING
YOUR
BLOOD
PRESSURE
I
4.
Before taking
your
blood pressure, you will need to set the
pressure switch to a
number
that is at least
30
mmHg higher
than
your expected systolic pressure. Use the chart below as a
guide.
For
example, if you believe your blood pressure to be
140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic), set the switch to 180.
If
you
know
it
is 120/80, you
should
set the switch to 150. Don't
worry
if
you set the pressure switch too
low.
The
monitor
will
automatically re-inflate to the
next
higher setting if
it
is unable
to detect the systolic pressure
at
the current setting.

NOTE
NOTE:
If
your
systolic
reading
is
greater
than
210,
please press
and
hold the "START" button until the pressure switch reaches
30
mmHg
higher
than
your
systolic
reading.
The
maximum
cuH
pressure
is
set
at
320
mmHg.
If
it reaches
320
mmHg,
the
auto
exhaust
will
be
triggered
and
cuH pressure
will
deflate
to
o.
If
you
think
you have set the pressure too high, stop the
inflation process by pressing
START.
Then
reset the
switch to the
next
lower setting.

Press the
START
button,
remain still
and
do
not
talk as the
cuff autOlnatically inflates to the correct level.
