Correct Position for Blood Pressure Measurement
When measuring your blood pressure at your wrist, the pressure cuff must
be at heart level to ensure consistent, accurate readings.
Always rest for about four to five minutes before taking measurements.
Press the On/Off and Start button to start a measurement. The cuff will
automatically inflate and then deflate when the measurement is complete.
Taking measurements while sitting down
1. Rest your elbows on a table or
other level surface.
2. Hold the arm so that the cuff is at
heart level.
3. With the palm of the hand facing
up, release any tenseness in
your muscles.
• Slightly extend your fingers.
• Slightly bend your wrist.
If measurements are taken with the
wrist or hand in the following positions,
accurate measurements may not be
possible.
When measuring in a sitting position,
lightly clench the hand of the arm not
fitted with the blood pressure monitor
and rest it on the table.

1. Remove your watch and any jewelry from
your left hand.
2. Wrapping the cuff around the wrist and
securing with hook-and-loop fastener.
Leave main unit at the distance of 2 cm (3/4")
from the first wrinkle line of wrist-palm joint,
mount the cuff on the wrist in such way as the
center of the main unit locates at the center of
the wrist (Fig. 4-a).
3. Attach the right thumb on the harder part
intensely from the side so that the right side
of the cuff is sure to be fixed on the side face
of the wrist, secure and attach the hook-and-
loop fastener snugly until not feeling it
oppressed.
Confirm the both center of wrist and main unit
is still on the same line, and tightness of the
fixing (Fig. 4-c).
• Pull up on the fastener,
without twisting it, to
remove the unit from
your wrist.
