APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM
When taking a measurement using the right arm use this instruction.
Apply the cuff to your right upper arm
so the blue arrow and the air tube runs 
along the inside of your elbow. The bottom
of the cuff should be approximately 1/2'' 
above your elbow.
NOTE:
Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube. This will restrict
the flow of air to the cuff.
5. Wrap the cuff firmly in place around your arm 
using the closure strip.

The monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. 
In rare circumstances when a higher inflation may be necessary, the
monitor automatically re-inflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher than
the initial inflation and restarts the measurement.
1. 
Press the START/STOP button.
All display symbols appear on the screen. The cuff starts to inflate
automatically. 
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically determines
your ideal inflation level. Because this monitor detects the pulse even
during inflation, do not move your arm and remain still until the
entire measurement process has been completed.
NOTE:  To stop the inflation or measurement, push the 
START/STOP button. The monitor will stop inflating, 
start deflating, and will turn off.
2. Inflation stops automatically and the measurement is started.
As the cuff deflates, decreasing
numbers appear on the display.
The Heartbeat Symbol ( )
flashes at every heartbeat.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIAL CONDITIONS
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
suspected systolic pressure.
NOTES: • Do not apply more pressure than necessary. 
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.

3. When the measurement is complete, the arm  cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure 
and pulse rate are displayed.

Every time you complete a measurement the monitor stores the blood
pressure and pulse rate in the memory. The blood pressure monitor
automatically stores up to 30 measurement values. When 30 sets of
measurement values are stored in the memory, the oldest record is
deleted to save the most recent measurement values.
AVERAGING FUNCTION
The monitor also calculates an average reading based on the values of
the three most recent measurements that were taken within 10 minutes
of the most recent reading. 
NOTES:• If only two readings are stored in the memory for the10-minute period, the average is based on the two readings.
• If one reading is stored in the memory for the 10-minute  period, this reading is displayed as the average.  
If the date and time is not set, the measurement values and the average
value will not be stored in the memory correctly.  
1.  Press the MEMORY button
The Average Value Symbol will display on the screen with the
average reading.
