POINTS FOR ACCURATE MEASUREMENT Blood pressure varies with posture, the time of day or numerous other factors. It is recommended to measure blood pressure at the same time each day in the same posture. ■ Measurement in sitting posture 1 Place your arm on a table or similar surface stretching out the portion from the elbow to the hand.

HOW TO WRAP THE ARM CUFF Unroll the arm cuff. metal bar • When the arm cuff comes off, pass it through metal bar, directing the Velcro-attached side Velcro to the outer surface. Put the arm cuff around your arm so that the air hose comes to the left palm side.
Page 16
HOW TO WRAP THE ARM CUFF Draw the end of the arm cuff to fit it on the arm and secure with Velcro. • Carefully place the arm taking care to obtain adequate tightness, not too tight or loose. Adequate tightness is obtained when you can place a finger between the cuff and your arm.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE To get an accurate blood pressure measurement, you need to start by setting the pressure cuff on your arm to the correct starting pressure. The correct starting pressure level for you is your systolic blood pressure (the higher of your two blood pressure readings) plus 40 mmHg.
Page 18
HOW TO MEASURE YOU BLOOD PRESSURE Insert the air hose plug into the case of the unit. Sit in the recommended position. See page 14 "POINTS FOR ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS".) Measure your blood pressure. Press to start inflating the cuff. You can select either the "AUTO" or "MANUAL" mode to set the correct starting pressure.
Page 19
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE After a measurement is obtained, press The power will be turned off. Store the arm cuff in the pocket. Wind the air hose around the arm cuff and store the cuff in the pocket. Automatic Power Off Function About 3 minutes after the last measurement was obtained, the power will be turned off, automatically.

HOW TO MEASURE YOU BLOOD PRESSURE ◆Automatic Pressurizing mode In this mode, the pressure in the cuff is raised to the correct level automatically, according to the previous measurement stored in memory, and your blood pressure is measured. Press The cuff is inflated immediately after the mark is turned on and then off.
Page 21
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE When your pulse is detected, the mark will blink and pressure will be shown in the Diastolic Blood Pressure readout. (Diastolic blood pressure is the lower number of your two blood pressure readings). After the measurement has been taken and recorded, the air inside the arm cuff will be released and the measurement results (Systolic/Diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate) will appear.

HOW TO MEASURE YOU BLOOD PRESSURE ◆Manual Pressurizing mode You can change the starting pressure setting by pressing the Press The cuff starts to inflate. The pressure will continue to increase while the is pressed. Your systolic blood pressure When the pressure indicator reaches the Starting pressure for you correct starting pressure for you, stop pressing the...

HOW TO CALL UP DATA STORED IN MEMORY The automatically stored data (measurement results) can be called up for reference. The data stored in memory cannot be called up during measurement. ● Measurements stored in memory are assigned "a memory number" in the order of measurement and up to 7 measurements can be stored in the memory.
ERROR INDICATIONS DISPLAY MARK CONDITION/CASE CORRECTIVE ACTION Pressure was insufficient. Wrap the cuff around your arm again and measure your blood pressure using the Manual Pressurizing mode.

ABOUT "BLOOD PRESSURE" What is blood pressure? The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. Blood is pumped from the heart at a constant pressure into arteries. This pressure is called the arterial blood pressure, which represents, in general, blood pressure.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON BLOOD PRESSURE Why is the blood pressure measured at home different from that measured at the doctor or a hospital? Blood pressure may vary with exercising, ambient temperature or mental states. When you have a doctor or nurse measure your blood pressure, the pressure value is likely to be 10 to 0 mmHg higher than usual because of concern and nervousness.
