palm face up, keep the cuff at the same level as your heart.
Higher or lower levels will affect the readings. (If the wrist
cuff is lower than the level of the heart, blood pressure will
be measured higher.)
Measurement while sitting down:
a. Place your elbow on a table and have the wrist rest on
an object such as your storage case or a cushion.
b. Make sure the wrist cuff is at the same level as your
heart. (It is very important to obtain your true blood
pressure.)
c. Relax your whole arm with the palm facing up.
d. Relax your body before measurement by taking several
deep breaths.
