TAKING A MEASUREMENT

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
CAUTION
Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising
where the cuff is applied.
If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press
and hold the START/STOP button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40
mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure.
NOTE: • Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates.
Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.
