Using the Monitor
3. Attaching the arm cuff
Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about
2-3 cm above the elbow, as shown. Place
the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing
may cause a faint pulse, and result in a
measurement error.
Constriction of the upper arm, caused by
rolling up a shirt sleeve, may prevent
accurate readings.
4. How to take proper measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
• Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table.
• Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
• Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
• Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
• Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath.
Rest twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
5. Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be
alarmed).
6. After measurement
After measurement, press the POWER button to turn off the power.
Remove the cuff and record your data.
Note
The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns off the power
automatically three minutes after measurement.
Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person.
