Applying the Cuff

Correct cuff placement is essential for an accurate reading.

1. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and back supported.
2. Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
3. Slide your arm through the D-ring cuff. The bottom edge should be 1-2 cm above your elbow.
4. Wrap the cuff snugly around your bare upper arm. The air tube should run down the center of your inner arm.
5. Secure the cuff by pressing the fabric closure firmly.
6. Ensure you can fit one finger between the cuff and your arm.

WARNING! Do not apply the cuff over clothing. Tight sleeves should be rolled up, not constricting the arm.

Taking a Measurement

Remain still and quiet during the measurement cycle.

1. Ensure you are relaxed. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring.
2. Apply the cuff correctly as described in Section 6.
3. Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will inflate automatically.
4. Remain still, do not talk, and keep your arm relaxed until the measurement is complete.
5. The cuff will deflate automatically. Your systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings will display.
6. The reading will be stored automatically in the memory for the selected user.
7. To turn the unit off, press the START/STOP button again, or it will power off automatically after 1 minute.

Tip: For the most accurate tracking, take measurements at the same time each day, such as morning and evening.
