Proper Measurement Position
STEP 1 Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
STEP 2 Place your elbow on a table or
other object.
Relax your hand with the palm
facing up.
STEP 3 Relax and make sure the cuff is at
the same height as your heart.
Press the
On/Off
button. Then, press the user selection
button to select the user’s number.
STEP 4
Measurement is in progress.
After the monitor turns on, all the LCD display symbols will appear with a long
“beep” sound. Then the cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.
WARINING
It is extremely important that the cuff is at the same height as the heart. If the
cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the blood pressure measured will
be higher (lower) than the actual value. A 15 cm difference in height may result
in an error of 10 mmHg.
NOTE
You can either press
On/Off
button to take one measurement, or press and
hold the
On/Off
button for 3 seconds to enter measurement average mode.
