Press . The monitor will turn on and enter the averaging mode. Then the cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
After the first measurement is completed, the monitor will start counting down before the second measurement begins. The number on the right represents the remaining countdown between each measurement. The monitor will take three (3) measurements consecutively with an interval of 20 seconds.
After taking three measurements, the results are averaged to produce the blood pressure measurement. Press to turn off the monitor.

Auscultatory Mode

Only trained healthcare professionals can perform manual operation.
The manual operation method involves applying a stethoscope to your arm and listening to the pulse while the air is slowly let out again. The systolic pressure is the maximum pressure in an artery at the moment when the heart is beating and pumping blood through the body. The diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure in an artery in the moments between beats when the heart is resting.

Place a stethoscope on the patient’s arm where there is a pulse. Wrap the cuff around the patient’s upper arm and hold in place with velcro.
Press B. A stethoscope symbol will appear on the display with a beep. Then the cuff begins to inflate automatically.
The operator can adjust the inflation pressure if necessary. During the measurement, press at any time to stop the inflation and start deflation, or press to inflate again. After reaching the cuff pressure, the deflation begins.
The systolic pressure is measured when the operator first hears the pulse. Take the reading according to the value on the display. This reading indicates the subject’s systolic pressure.
The diastolic pressure is measured from the moment the operator is unable to hear the sound of the pulse. Take the reading according to the value on the display. This reading indicates the subject’s diastolic pressure.
The monitor will return to the screen of 0 mmHg after the measurement is completed. To start the next measurement, press B again. To turn off the monitor, press POWER.
