14 Programming Time and Date Important Reminders To set the month, simply press the "MODE" button and the month number will begin to flash.

Follow your health care provider's advice on how and when to take your blood pressure. Here are some important hints on what to do before taking a measurement: * Sit quietly for about 10 minutes.
Important Reminders While taking a measurement: * Sit still and quietly. Talking or moving may elevate measurements. * For consistency, it is a good idea to measure your blood pressure around the same time each day and using the same wrist. If possible, we suggest using the left. * When taking multiple measurements right after each other, make sure you have allowed at least 10 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood vessels to return to their normal state.
Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement * Once the cuff is properly around your wrist and you are seated with your feet flat on the floor, you are ready to take your measurement. * Press "SET" button to select a particular memory zone (no.1 to no.3). * See "3 Zones of 30 Memory" for detailed instructions on setting/using memory. * Press the "START/STOP" button to begin measuring. You will feel the cuff get tighter, this is normal. The cuff will automatically inflate to the level that is right for you.
3 Zones of 30 Memory Your monitor features a 3 party memory capability or 3 "zones" each zone stores 30 measurements each for a total capacity of 90 measurements.
