8. SOME SUGGESTIONS BEFORE MEASUREMENT
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before taking a
measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking a reading.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements when stressed.
3. It is best to take your blood pressure on the left arm.
4. The measurement should be taken in a quiet place, you should be relaxed, in a
seated position, your left arm on a table so that the cuff is level with your heart.
5. Sit with your feet flat on the floor (legs uncrossed), place your left arm on the
table with your palm facing upward.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Record your blood pressure and pulse results in order to show them to your
doctor. You should take your blood pressure measurements regularly at the
same time of day.
9. HOW TO USE THE WRIST CUFF
1. Remove all jewellery (watch, bracelet ...) from your left hand.
2. Palm up, slip on the cuff so that the monitor display faces you in the reading
direction.
3. The cuff should be one or two centimetres from your palm.
4. When the cuff is properly positioned, hold it in place by pressing the tab firmly
against the Velcro.
Notes:
- Always measure the same arm (normally left) for a better interpretation of the results.
If you cannot put the cuff on your left arm, you can use your right arm.
10. HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
1. Press the START button. All the display characters are shown on the screen.
2. The device displays "zero" on the screen when it is ready to take the measurement. The cuff inflates
automatically. When the screen displays the maximum value the pressure is released, the heart beats
are detected. The air is automatically evacuated from the cuff.
3. After the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate
are displayed.
4. The result will be automatically stored.
5. Press START again to turn the device off. If you forget, the device will stop automatically after
about 1 minute.
6. - If there is too much pressure from the cuff, or you feel uncomfortable, please press the START
button immediately to quickly deflate the cuff.
Notes:
- The value measured will be too low if the cuff is held higher than the heart, or will be too high if the cuff
is held lower than the heart.
- The device automatically stores the last 2 sets of 30 readings. If more than 2x30 readings, the earliest
data will be deleted.
- During measurement do not speak or move as it may affect the accuracy of the result.
- If you want to stop during the measurement process, just press the START button to stop immediately.
- Consult your doctor if in doubt about using the device.

MEM
button to display the stored results. The device displays the number of recorded
readings. If no result stored, « - » will be displayed.

order. The time and date are stored for all results.
