If the cuff is to be deflated quickly, depress "Exhaust button". The attached cuff is suited for an arm circumference of 22 cm to 32 cm. When attaching the cuff, cuff tube should be placed on the inside of your arm on top of the arterial. [. . . ] q Press "SET" switch to increase the month in increments of one month. 10. Correction of the "day of the month" q After the completion of the month correction as described above, press "SELECT" switch to place the unit in the day-of-the-month correction state. q Press "SET" switch to increase the day of the month in increments of one day. - Eng 9 - 11. Changeover of the "time system" q After the completion of the day-of-the-month correction as described above, press "SELECT" switch to place the unit in the time system selection state. q Every time "SET" switch is pressed, the 12-hour system (12H) and 24-hour system (24H) will be changed over. q Press "SELECT" switch after activating the time system indication on the display to revert the display to the time indication. How to set the alarm q While alarm symbol "bell" is shown on the display, the alarm will sound for 30 seconds when the alarm time is reached. The alarm sounds only when the time indication is shown on the display. Lightly open your hand on the table with palm up and straighten your arm. Relax your body, arm and fingers to avoid extra pressure on the arm band. Do not move your neck or body or talk during measurement. You may use your right arm for the measurement of your blood pressure as illustrated above. The most important point for the measurement of blood pressures is to measure them with the same arm and in the same posture. - Eng 12 - English 3. Insert the air hose plug into the main unit. q Securely insert the air hose plug into the air hose socket of the main unit as illustrated. Español Português Deutch 4. Start measurement. Français q Press "POWER/MEASURE" switch. q The Q mark comes on and the buzzer sounds for one second. q The buzzer beeps three times and the Q mark goes out. Now, the pump activates. - Eng 13 - q The Blood pressure monitor automatically carries out pressurization until the pressure that is best suited to the blood pressure measurement is reached. q When the unit determines that an adequate pressure is not obtained, the unit starts pressurization again. [Manual pressurization] q Keep "POWER/MEASURE" switch held pressed until the pressure value you want to stop pressurization is reached (approximately 40 mmHg higher than the maximal blood pressure). You can stop pressurization by the unit by releasing the switch at the aforementioned value is reached. q Wait a while after the completion of pressurization. Then, the Q mark comes on and the unit automatically starts measuring your blood pressures. q When the unit detects your pulse, the Q mark flashes on and off, then the unit gives your blood pressure value on the lower section of the display. q Upon completion of measurement, the buzzer sounds and the unit automatically exhaust air from the cuff. Then, the maximal pressure/minimal pressure/number of pulses will appear on the display. q As long as the unit functions correctly, the blood pressures and the number of pulses of the result are automatically stored in memory as one set of data.

The heart is a pump that circulates blood to different part of the body. This pressure is called the arterial blood pressure, which represents, in general, blood pressure. Blood pressure is indicated by several kinds of pressures such as: systolic pressure (maximal blood pressure) that occurs when the heart pumps blood (see the illustration given below left); and diastolic pressure (minimal blood pressure) that occurs just when blood returns to the heart (see the illustration give below right). (Maximum blood pressure) Artery Left atrium (Minimum blood pressure) Artery Left atrium Left ventricle The artery wall expands. Contracts Left ventricle Normal state is restored to the artery wall.
