7 Measurement
7.1 Important tips
• This monitor automatically switches off 2 minutes after the last key operation.
• To interrupt the measurement, simply press any key. The cuff will deflate
immediately after a key is pressed.
• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To
obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• It is important that you relax during measurement. Try to take 15-minutes rest
before a reading.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or
hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a
warm location for at least one hour before using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
7.2 Procedure
• Press the START/STOP button to activate the device.
All segments will be displayed.
• Once the actual Memory zone is displayed (U1-3), press
the MEMORY button
to select the desired memory
zone.
• If no button is pressed within 5 seconds, the measurement
will start automatically.
• The display will show the last measurement result before
inflating the cuff to the level that is right for you.
• When the right level is reached, the cuff will deflate.
This monitor will re-inflate automatically to approximately
220mmHg if the system detects that your body needs more
pressure to measure your blood pressure.
• When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic
and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD
screen.
• When a mistake was detected during measurement the
Error icon ‘EE’ appears on the display
