To take a measurement:
1. Choose the position you from which you wish to measure
– sitting or lying down.

heart, using the chart and illustrations below as a guide.

plastic storage case or other object as a
support under your forearm. Your wrist
should be parallel with your heart with the
palm facing up.

Result: After a few seconds, the blood pressure monitor
beeps and begins inflating the wrist cuff. It then slowly
deflates until there is another beep, signifying that the
measurement is complete. Don’t move from the first beep
until the last to ensure a more accurate measurement.
Your systolic and diastolic pressure readings flash on
the display, followed by MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure,
see page 4) and pulse per minute readings every two
seconds. The measurement is automatically stored as
the first (1) entry in the memory; the last entry (60) is
dropped, and all the entries in between move up one digit
(e.g., 58 becomes 59, and so on).
