measurement is in progress. The monitor measures your blood

Press either START button once to turn off power.

The device has an automatic power-down feature

which turns off power automatically one minute

after measurement is obtained.

For the most useful blood pressure history, we recommend that you record

the date and time after each measurement. The most accurate history

relies not on a single or sporadic readings, but on a consistent monitoring

pattern over time.

NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure measurement again, relax and wait 5-10
minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return to normal.

NOTE: If you have poor blood circulation in winter (especially when your hands and
wrists are cold), you may not get a blood pressure measurement.
