2. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing upward.
Elevate your arm so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart,
Fig. 2 . Relax your left hand.
3. Press the POWER Button again to turn the unit on.

5. When the display appears as
shown, Fig. 6 , the monitor is ready.

the “Automatic Electronic Air
Release Valve” until “0” appears on
the display. To release the air
quickly press the release button.
6. Using your right hand, squeeze and release the inflation bulb at a steady
pace. The inflation pressure must be 50-60 mmHg above your normal

the unit beeps, stop inflating the cuff. The unit will automatically begin to
deflate.
7. Upon completion, your blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) measurement
will display with the downward arrow ( ) flashing to let you know to press
the release button to release the residual air quickly, Fig. 7 .

Taking Your Blood Pressure Reading
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the appropriate cuff:
Standard Cuff fits arm circumference 11-3/4” – 16-1/2” (30-42 cm)
Large Cuff fits arm circumference 16-1/2" – 18-7/8" (42-48 cm)
NOTE: If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm, please modify the
following instructions and apply the cuff to your right arm. Your physician can tell you which arm
is best for you to use.
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with the cuff placement.
2. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor.
3. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing UP
and AWAY from you, Fig. 1 . The metal bar on the cuff should
be to the left of the tubing.
4. Widen or open the cuff by pulling or rolling the
bottom of the cuff towards the right, Fig. 2 . This
should open the cuff, creating a cylinder. Do not
extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
5. Insert your arm into the cuff (cylinder). Position the
( ) mark over the main artery (on the inside of
your arm), Fig. 3 .
6. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned
approximately one inch ABOVE the elbow joint, Fig. 4 .
7. Reaching underneath your left arm with your right hand,
pull the end of the cuff towards your body to tighten
the cuff,
Fig. 5 . Wrap and secure the cuff
making sure that the ( ) mark remains as shown, Fig. 3 .
8. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm.
You should be able to insert two fingers between your arm and
the cuff.
NOTE: The cuff size is suitable for use when the vertical “Index”
mark is within the horizontal “OK” range. A different sized cuff is
needed if the “Index” mark is outside of the “OK” range.
