• A loose cuff causes false measurement values. • With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead to false results. Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated after at least a 15 second pause or after the arm has been held up in order to allow the accumulated blood to flow away.

When the memory is full (60 sets of readings are stored), the oldest reading will be replaced by a new one.
3. Press again, the display will show ‘01’, which means the last reading taken, then turns to another screen to show readings and measuring time as Fig.10; 4. Press again, the display will show ‘02’, which means the second to the last reading taken.
