3.3
Taking a Reading
1. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit on.
The cuff starts to inflate automatically.
Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm
on a table so that the cuff will be at the same level as your
heart. Keep still and do not talk during measurement.
Note: To cancel a measurement, press the O/I START button
to turn the unit off and to release the air in the arm cuff.
2. Inflation stops and the measurement starts with deflating. As
the cuff deflates, the heartbeat symbol ( ) flashes at every
heartbeat.
3. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely
deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.
4. Check the measurement
results.
The unit automatically stores
blood pressure and pulse
rate into its memory. Refer to
“3.5 Using the Memory
Function”.
Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurement. Waiting between readings allows the
arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the
blood pressure measurement.
