Result: After a few seconds, the blood pressure monitor
beeps and begins inflating the wrist cuff. It then slowly deflates
until there is another beep, signifying that the measurement
is complete. Do not move from the first beep until the last to
ensure a more accurate measurement. Your systolic and
diastolic pressure readings flash on the display, followed by
MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure, see page 4) and pulse per
minute readings every 2 seconds. The measurement is
automatically stored as the first (1) entry in the memory; the
last entry (30) is dropped, and all the entries in between move
up one digit (e.g., 18 becomes 19, and so on).
