1/2 inch (1 - 2 cm) Air Tube Blue Strip 7. Wrap the cuff firmly in place around your arm using the cloth strip. 21 APPLYING THE ARM CUFF APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM Apply the cuff to your right upper arm so the thumb grip is centered on the inside of your inner arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2'' above your elbow. Thumb Grip NOTE: Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube. This will restrict the flow of air to the cuff. 22 TAKING A MEASUREMENT 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. CAUTION Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other purpose. 1. Press the START/STOP button. All symbols appear on the display. The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This monitor detects the pulse during inflation. Do not move your arm and remain still until the entire measurement process is completed. STARTSTOP NOTE: To stop the inflation or measurement, press the START/STOP button. The monitor will stop inflating, start deflating and will turn off. 23 TAKING A MEASUREMENT 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. ) 3. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed. 4. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off. NOTE: The monitor will automatically turn off after five minutes. STARTSTOP When the measurement is complete, the Heartbeat Symbol flashes on the display with your blood pressure and pulse rate if the reading is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure value and/or 85 for the Diastolic Blood Pressure value. 24 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. STARTSTOP NOTES: • 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. 25 USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION The monitor is designed to store the blood pressure and the pulse rate in the memory every time a measurement is completed. The monitor automatically stores up to 60 sets of measurement values (blood pressure and pulse rate). When 60 sets of measurement values are stored, the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent values. AVERAGING FUNCTION The monitor calculates the average reading based on the three most recent sets of measurement values taken within 10 minutes of the most recent reading. NOTE: If two sets of measurement values are stored in the memory for the 10 minutes period, the average is based on the two sets of measurement values. If one set of measurement values is stored, this is displayed as the average. 26 USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION TO DISPLAY THE MEASUREMENT VALUES 1. Press the MEMORY button. STOP The Average Symbol ( ) appears on the display when the average reading is shown. 2. Press the MEMORY button to display the measurement values from the most recent to the oldest. 3. Press the START/STOP button to turn the power off. NOTES: • Press the MEMORY button to display the next values. • Press and hold the MEMORY button to display the values faster. Alternating display • The date and time are alternately displayed with the measurement values. 27 USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION TO DELETE ALL VALUES STORED IN THE MEMORY You cannot partially delete values stored in the memory. All values will be deleted. 1. While holding the MEMORY button and the START/STOP button simultaneously for more than 2 seconds all values will be deleted. STARTSTOP 28 CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE To keep your digital blood pressure monitor in the best condition and protect the unit from damage, follow the directions listed below: Keep the monitor in the storage case when not in use. Make sure the AC adapter is placed in the storage case as illustrated to avoid damage to the display. Avoid kinking or sharply bending the AC Adapter cord. Do not forcefully bend the arm cuff or air tube. Do not fold tightly. Clean the monitor with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive or volatile cleaners. Do not attempt to clean the cuff. CAUTION Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water. Do not subject the monitor to extreme hot or cold temperatures, humidity or direct sunlight. CAUTION Store the device and the components in a clean, safe location. CAUTION Do no...
