Obtaining accurate measurements
(cont.)
34
1. Press the On/Off and Start button.
• The display will flash for approx. 2 seconds.
• Inflation will then begin automatically.
As measurements are being taken during
pressurization, the frequency of the “beep”
indicating pulse rate and the rate of pressurization
may change. This is perfectly normal.
2. Place the slightly clenched fist of your other hand
under the arm to which the device is attached. (See
“Obtaining accurate measurements” on pages 32
and 33.)
• The heart mark will begin to flash (with sound)
during pressurization when the pulse is detected.
3. When measurements have been completed, the
device beeps and blood pressure and pulse rate are
displayed.
• Pressure will automatically be released from the
pressure cuff.
• If your blood pressure is considered to be in the
hypertensive range, then the readings on the display
will flash for approx. 6 seconds.
• The mark will flash.
(Please see page 36 for details regarding how to record
readings.)
• The pulse is estimated over the period of a minute
based on the pulse rate recorded when measurements
were being taken.
4. Press the On/Off and Start button to turn off the
device.
• If you wish to make another measurement, switch off
and wait for 5 minutes before performing another one.
• If you forget to switch the device off, it will do so
automatically after approx. 5 minutes.
Measuring your blood pressure
Relax your hand and allow the
wrist to droop slightly as shown
below.
Do not bend your
wrist inward. Do not clench
your fist.
Do not take measurements in the positions
shown below as they will be inaccurate.
If the device is placed at
a height lower than the
heart then the resulting
readings may be higher
than your actual blood
pressure. If the device is placed at
a height higher than the
heart then the resulting
readings may be lower
than your actual blood
pressure. If you lean forward while
taking measurements
then the resulting
readings may not be
accurate.
To obtain accurate readings, the following actions should also be avoided
during measurements.
• Do not touch the device.
• Do not change position or move your wrist or fingers.
• Do not talk.
[CAUTION]
Keep away from cellular telephones and other sources of electromagnetic
radiation. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning.
