the measurement begins. The cuff starts to inflate to the
correct level. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the START
button again.
6. When inflation is complete, deflation starts automatically and the
blinks, indicating that the measurement is in progress. Once
the pulse is detected, the mark flashes with each pulse beat.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device
automatically starts to inflate again.
7. When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic
pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed.
The cuff deflates and the monitor automatically shuts off after 45
seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing the START button.
8. Remove cuff and make note of your blood pressure and pulse
rate on the Blood Pressure Record chart (see Pg. E-14),
indicating the date and time of measurement.
IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day.

Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:
Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement.
Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.
Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm
to measure pressure.
Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:
1. Sit comfortably with your left arm
resting on a flat surface so that the
center of your upper arm is at the same
height as your heart.
2. Lay left arm on the table with palm up.
Place the semi-hard shell cuff on upper
arm with the tube facing downward
and toward the inside of your arm.
Fasten cuff securely with the hook and
loop fastener strap.
3. The cuff should be snug but not too
tight. You should be able to insert two
fingers between the cuff and your arm.
4. Press the START button. Remain still
and do not talk.
