Notes:

• Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous.

Please follow the instructions of your doctor.

• Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure reading.

Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition prior

to taking the blood pressure measurement.

Remove the arm cuff.

Important:

•

Your blood pressure monitor includes an

irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heart-

beats can inﬂuence the results of the

measurement. The irregular heartbeat

algorithm automatically determines if the

measurement is usable or needs to be

repeated. If the measurement results are affected by

irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is

shown together with the irregular heartbeat symbol (

If the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be

What is Arrhythmia?

A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart to contract.

Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due to flaws

in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are

skipped heartbeats, premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia)

or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart disease, aging,

physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only

be diagnosed by a doctor through a special examination. Whether the

appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol (

arrhythmia or not can only be determined by an examination and diagnosis by

your doctor.

Warning:

If the irregular heartbeat symbol (

) is shown frequently, please make

your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on

measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of

your doctor.

Press the START/STOP button to turn the unit off.

Note: If you forget to turn the unit off, it will automatically shut itself off after

five minutes.

3.3 Instructions for Special Conditions

1 - 2 cm

Press the START/STOP button

to turn the unit on.

Measurement starts.

When the cuff starts to inflate, press the START/STOP button

and keep it pressed until the pressure is 30 to 40 mmHg

higher than your suspected systolic pressure.

Note: You cannot inflate the cuff above 299 mmHg. (An error will be displayed

if you try to inflate the cuff above 299 mmHg.)

1 to 2 cm

Release the START/STOP button when the cuff has been

inflated to the desired pressure.

The cuff starts to deflate and measurement starts.

The rest of the procedure is the same as for normal

measurement. Refer to "3.2 Taking a Reading", steps 3 to 5.

Note: Do not apply more pressure than necessary.

3.4 Using the Memory Function

This unit has a memory capable of storing 14 sets of readings.

Note: If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.
