displayed after measurement is complete.

systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, and the pulse rate.
Systolic Blood Pressure
% Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the Base Unit.
• An Auto Power Off feature automatically turns off the Base Unit if
you leave it on for about three minutes.
Note
• Avoid taking too many consecutive measurements with the Base Unit.
Pressure from the Base Unit cuff can cut off circulation in your arm
and cause incorrect readings. Remove the cuff and wait a while before
taking another reading.
• Correct readings are impossible when diastolic blood pressure is
greater than 180mmHg.
Re-inflation
If the Base Unit determines that pressure in insufficient during a
measurement operation, it automatically re-inflates the cuff. Re-inflation
may also be performed if you move or talk, or if there is excessive noise
or another type of disturbance during a measurement procedure.
• Note that positioning the cuff so its air tube underneath your arm
(especially when your arm is pressing down on the tube) can cause
noise. This can lead to re-inflate or even make proper measurement
impossible.
Stopping a Measurement
To stop an ongoing measurement operation, press the START button.
This causes the Base Unit to deflate the cuff and then go into standby.
Pressing the ON/OFF button also causes the Base Unit to deflate the
cuff and turn off.
Recording Blood Pressure Readings
You can make copies of the "BLOOD PRESSURE RECORD" at the
back of this manual and use them to keep track of changes in your blood
pressure and pulse measurements.
