We recommend three measurements a day. First··· Upon Waking (Because, with almost no influence from body movements, the blood pressure is closest to that at night.) Second··· Before Lunch (Because, with no influence from the meal, it provides blood pressure values close to the highest of the day.) Third··· At Bedtime (So as to obtain data close to your average blood pressure values during the day.) This way, by taking measurements morning, noon and night, you can use the unit to learn the patterns of and monitor your blood pressure. In the following situations, measurements might be abnormally influenced. . Within 1 hour after eating or drinking alcohol . Immediately after drinking coffee or tea, or smoking . In a moving vehicle . Immediately after exercising or taking a bath (Wait at least 20 minutes and take a measurement while staying quiet.) . In cold places (Take measurements at room temperatures around 68 °F (20 °C).) . When you need to urinate (Wait several minutes after urinating before taking measurements.) Be sure to comply with the following points for accurate measurements. Not following these points may make it impossible to obtain meaningful measurements: . Do not move your body, arm, or fingertips. . Do not touch the main unit or the cuff during measurement. . Do not talk. . Do not use devices emitting strong signals, such as cellular phones, near the main unit. The measurement may not be performed correctly due to the signal and this may lead to malfunctions. 13 HOW TO USE HOW TO USE Taking a reading (Measuring/Recording measurements) Please start taking a reading under the condition that the power is off. Start 1. Press . After the entire display has been lit, the cuff will be pressurized and measurement will be taken automatically. . The pressure value and the time will be displayed. . The mark will flash and the unit will beep with the pulse, detected during pressurization. After the measurement is completed, the unit will beep, and the blood pressure value and pulse rate will be displayed. * It will beep 4 times. " and the graph " " are blinking. For how to see the graph, refer to page 16. . " Finish . According to the measurement result, safety/warning indicators may be displayed. For details, refer to page 15, 16. 2. To store the measured values. press . Memory " will go from flashing to being steadily lit. . " . The memory number, measurement date, and time are alternately displayed. . If you do not press , the unit will shut down automatically after approx. 5 minutes. 3. To complete the measurement, press . . This unit can store a maximum of 270 measurement values. . When exceeding 270 stored measurements, stored data will be overwritten, beginning with the oldest data. 14 English HOW TO USE HOW TO USE About each indicators English To perform a correct measurement, this unit provides a movement detection function and an irregular pulse warning function. When the indicators appear, the correct measurement might not have been obtained. If any indicator appears, it is recommended to repeat the measurement. Stay calm and relax for four to five minutes, before perfoming a new measurement. * The " " and " " indicator will be recorded together with the measurement value. Movement detection function If the movements exceed acceptable levels, no reliable measurement can be performed and the error message "U 12" will be displayed. The movement detection function is to indicate, with , extra pressure on the cuff caused by movements of the arm during the measurement. When movement is detected and the measurement is completed, the indicator is displayed after flashing for approx. 6 seconds. Irregular pulse warning function If the pulse rate varies by more than ±25 % from the average while a measurement is being taken, will be displayed when the measurement is completed. The indicator is displayed after flashing for approx. 6 seconds. If the indicator is displayed an irregular pulse rate is detected, which is not necessarily caused by arrhythmia. . Don’t try to interpret readings or attempt to treat any condition yourself. Always follow the guidance of a health professional. . However if this indicator continues to display, consult your physician. Advice: In general, blood pressure measurements are lower for the second measurement because you are less nervous and are more tranquil. For people who easily get tense, measuring twice each time is very effective. It is recommended to store all values when performing two measurements or more. When taking two measurements, always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the first measurement before taking the second measurement. 15 HOW TO USE HOW TO USE Reading the blood pressure display If the measured values fall within the hypertension range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user. According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg (Sys.) and/ or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pres...
