3.Using the Monitor
3.3 Taking a Reading
1. Press the O/I START button and remain still, the cuff will start
to inflate automatically.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically deter-
mines your ideal inflation level. Remain still and do not talk until
measurement is completed.
Note: Do not inflate the cuff if it is not wrapped around your
arm.
2. Inflation stops automatically
and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates,
decreasing numbers appear
on the display and the Heart-
beat symbol ( ) flashes at every heartbeat.
In rare circumstances, the monitor might re-inflate the cuff to
continue with the measurement.
3. When the measurement is complete, the arm
cuff completely deflates and your blood pres-
sure and pulse rate are displayed.
Note: The monitor automatically stores the
blood pressure readings and pulse rate
along with date and time of measurement in its memory.
