HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT
1.  Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately 
one second. This is the initial LCD test.
b) The display symbols disappear and the Deflation 
Indication symbol ( ) starts to flash.
c) When the monitor completes the necessary 
preparations before measurement, the Heart Symbol
( ) appears in the screen.
2. By pressing the START button the unit automatically 
inflates the cuff to 170 mmHg.
a) If during your measurement the monitor determines 
that a higher pressure value is required, it will 
automatically increase the pressure value by 40 mmHg.
b) To inflate higher than 210 mmHg, press and hold 
the START button until the desired pressure value 
is reached (approximately 40 mmHg higher than 
your estimated systolic blood pressure). 
Do not inflate higher than 280 mmHg.
NOTE: If you want to stop the measurement, push the 
ON/OFF button. The monitor will stop inflating 
and start deflating rapidly, then the monitor will power off.
Be sure to read  “How to Apply the Arm Cuff” before 
taking a measurement.
