1. With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press the
START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless it
is wrapped around your arm. All digits will light up to
check the display functions. The checking procedure
will be completed after about 2 seconds. The
arrow will appear momentarily and then the display
will show a "0". The monitor is "Ready to Measure"
at this point.
2. Using the hand of the arm that does not have the cuff
on it (this will be your right hand if wearing the cuff on
your left arm), squeeze the inflation bulb and continue
pumping until the pressure reading on the display
reaches 170 mmHg. The cuff will then begin slowly
deflating as part of the measurement process.
If the pressure in the cuff is not enough, an upward
arrow ( ) will appear, directing you to continue
pumping. It is recommended that you pump until the
pressure reading on the display reaches 200 mmHg.

3. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will
deflate entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure
and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD
screen. The measurement is then automatically
stored into memory.

minute after last operation. You may also press the
START/STOP button to turn the unit off.
2. To interrupt the measurement, you may press the
START/STOP (recommended), "MEM", or
Date/Time Set buttons. The cuff will deflate
immediately after a button is pressed.
