Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor

Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor

It is recommended that you rest for at least 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure 

measurement. Allow at least 3 minutes rest between measurements to allow the blood 

circulation in your arm to recover. The Blood Pressure Monitor is designed for use by adults 

and should not be used on infants or young children.

We recommend that you carry out your test whilst sitting at a table with both of your feet flat 

on the floor, do not cross your legs. Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart as 

this will place the monitor and your arm in an ideal position for the best results.

Place the cuff on your selected arm (please refer to ‘Your first test’ on how to select an arm).

Ensure the cuff is secure. Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped around the upper arm.

Avoid compression or restriction of the rubber tubule during measurement as this may cause 

an inflation error due to continuos cuff pressure. If this occurs, switch the unit off immediately 

by pressing the START button.

Do not move your arm, body or the monitor and do not move the rubber tubule during 

measurement and do not talk.

Setting the time and date

Press the START and MEM buttons simultaneously, the monitor will beep and the month will 

flash. Press MEM repeatedly to select the month, press START to confirm. Follow the same 

process to select the date and time (hours and minutes).
