Adjust the position of your wrist.
Place your monitor over your heart
while a measurement. Once the heart
zone indicator appears, raise or lower
your wrist until it is at heart level. Make
sure your wrist is about 2 inches apart
from your chest. When your wrist is in the
proper position, your monitor will vibrate
once. After approximately 2 seconds,
the monitor will start a measurement
and the cuff will start to inflate. If the
monitor is too high above your heart,
your blood pressure will be artificially
low. If the monitor is too low below
your heart, your blood pressure will be
artificially high.
