button. All of the display
segments are displayed. Zero (0) is displayed
blinking briefly. The display changes, as
indicated in the figure at the right, as the

It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. A
pressure bar indicator is displayed, on the left
edge of the display, during the inflation.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the
START button again.

blinks, indicating that the
measurement is in progress. Once the pulse is
detected, the mark blinks with each pulse beat.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the
device starts to inflate again automatically. To avoid
re-inflation, see “Measurement with the SET Pressure”
on the next page.
7. When the measurement is complete, the
systolic and diastolic pressure readings and
pulse rate are displayed. The device announces
the measurement results. The cuff exhausts the
remaining air and deflates completely.
8. Press the
START
button to turn the device off.
After one minute of non-operation, the device
will turn off automatically.
9. The reading is then stored into memory. See page E-18 for more details about
the memory function.
10. Remove cuff and make a note of blood pressure and pulse rate on the
chart in the back of this manual, indicating date and time of measurement.
Additional logbook charts can be downloaded and printed for free at
www.andmedical.com or in Canada at www.autocontrol.com. We advise
that you record the date and time after each measurement becaue an
accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings,
but on a pattern over time.
