7 making a blood pressure measurement
When the pressure in the arm cuff is high enough, don't move
and relax. Air escapes from the arm cuff. While the
measurement is made, the falling pressure is displayed in the
LCD panel.
When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic
blood pressure is displayed, along with the heart rate and the
heart rate symbol (fig. 11). The memory symbol means that the
measuring values are saved automatically. Up to 60
measurements can be stored in the memory.
The blinking deflate symbol indicates that the arm cuff still
contains air. Press the deflate valve until the symbol disappears
and the arm cuff is deflated.
7.4 switching off automatically
Measurement is now completed. Press the ON/OFF key to turn off
the power. The Monitor goes "off" automatically after 1 minute of
inactivity.
