5.5. Taking a measurement
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the
measurement can begin. Remain still during your mea-
surement, do not flex muscles.
a) Press the START/STOP button. The pump begins to
inflate the cuff. In the display, the increasing cuff-
pressure is continually displayed.
b) After automatically reaching an individual pressure,
the pump stops and the pressure slowly falls. The
cuff-pressure is displayed during the measurement. If
the inflation pressure is not sufficient, the monitor
automatically re-inflates.
c) When the device has detected your pulse, the heart
symbol in the display begins to blink.
d) When the measurement has been conclud-
ed, the cuff deflates. The measured systolic
and diastolic blood pressure values as well
as the pulse are now displayed.
e) The measurement results are displayed
until you switch the device off. The device
will turn off automatically after 1 minute if
no buttons are pressed.
