5.4. Taking a measurement
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned on the
arm and connected to the blood pressure monitor, the
measurement can begin. Remain still during your
measurement, do not flex muscles.
a) Remain seated quietly for 5 minutes before you
begin the measurement.
b) Press the POWER button to begin. After pressing the
POWER button the pump begins to inflate the cuff.
The measurement is performed while cuff inflates.
The pumping speed can vary, which is completely
normal. The increasing cuff pressure will show on
the display.
c) When the device has detected your pulse, the heart
symbol in the display begins to blink.
d) After reaching an individual pressure, the pump
stops and the pressure will release. The cuff pressure
(large digits) is displayed during the measurement.
e) When the measurement has been concluded, the air
will automatically release from the cuff. The meas-
ured systolic and diastolic blood pressure values,
and the pulse are displayed.
f) The measurement results are displayed until you
switch the device off. If no button is pressed for 1
minute, the device switches off automatically.
