Taking a Measurement

For accurate results, rest for 5 minutes before measuring. Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising 30 minutes prior.

Sit on a chair with feet flat on the floor and back supported.
Remove tight clothing from your upper arm.
Wrap the cuff around your bare upper arm. The bottom edge should be 1-2 cm above the elbow. The air tube should run down the center of your arm.
Secure the cuff snugly using the D-Ring. The artery marker (▲) should align with your brachial artery.
Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level. Relax your hand, palm up.
Press the START/STOP button. The monitor will inflate automatically.
Remain still and quiet until measurement is complete and results are displayed.
The monitor will automatically deflate. Record your reading if desired.
To turn the unit off, press the START/STOP button again, or it will power off automatically after 1 minute.

WARNING! Do not move or talk during measurement. Ensure the cuff is at heart level for accurate results.
