Measurements 

Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure 

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, use this 

procedure. 

1.  Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).   

2.  Press and hold the 

START

 button. 

Release the button when the average 

of all the data in memory is displayed. 

Press and hold the START button 

again until a number about 30 to 40 

mmHg higher than your expected 

systolic pressure appears.   

3. Release the 

START

 button to start 

measurement, when the desired 

number is reached. Then continue to 

measure your blood pressure as 

described on the previous page. 

Notes For Proper Measurement 

  Sit down in a comfortable position. Place 

the arm to be used for the measurement 

on a table or other support so that the 

center of the cuff will be at the same 

height as your heart. 

  Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you 

are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will 

reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure 

reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal. 

  An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you 

are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very 

strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure. 

  This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very 

weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining 

your blood pressure. 

  Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the 

measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4 for the 

description of the symbols. 

  This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult 

with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not 

use this device unattended.
