Taking a Single Measurement
ATTENTION
1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Place your elbow on a flat surface. Relax your hand with the palm facing
up.
3. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of your
heart.
4. Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.
WARNING:
If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the obtained blood
pressure value could be higher (lower) than the actual value.
Always apply the pressure cuff before turning on the monitor.
1. Press the ON/OFF button. The device will turn on and the display for 2
seconds to highlight all the characters, then there will be «00».
2. Take a rubber blower to free hand and inflate the cuff to a pressure
greater than 40 mm Hg the value of your expected systolic pressure. If you
do not know your systolic pressure, inflate the cuff to 160-180 mm Hg. The
pressure in the cuff is shown on the display.
