Taking Your Blood Pressure
8. When the correct pressurization has been reached, the automatic
exhaust mechanism will gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff.
Sit quietly during measurement. The
pulse beat.
NOTE: Exhaust rate cannot be adjusted during measurement. If you wish to stop inflation at any
time, press the exhaust valve to release the pressure in the cuff.
9. After you see the measurement results displayed on the screen, press
the exhaust valve to release the excess air from the cuff. If you move
your arm before pressing the exhaust valve, the result on the screen will
be deleted. The monitor shuts off automatically in about 30 seconds.
You can also press the START button to shut off the monitor.
10. Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure and pulse
rate on the chart in the back of the manual, indicating date and
time of measurement. Additional logbook charts can be
downloaded and printed for free at www.LifeSourceOnline.com
or www.autocontrol.com.
We advise that you record the date and time after each measurement
because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or
sporadic readings but on a pattern over time.
NOTE: Allow at least 5 minutes between measurements on the same person.
