Using The Monitor 

Attaching The Arm Cuff 

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, 

about 2 - 3 cm above the elbow, as 

shown. Place the cuff directly against 

the skin, as clothing may cause a faint 

pulse and result in a measurement error. 

2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused 

by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent 

accurate readings. 

3. Confirm that the index   points within 

the proper fit range. 

How To Take Proper Measurements 

For the most accurate blood 

pressure measurement: 

  Sit comfortably at a table.  

Rest your arm on the table. 

  Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement. 

  Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart. 

  Remain still and keep quiet during measurement. 

  Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or 

thirty minutes before taking the measurement. 

  Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day. 

Measurement 

During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.  

Measure your blood pressure according to the section "Measurements".  

After Measurement 

  Press the exhaust valve to exhaust air from the cuff. 

 Press 

the 

 START 

 button to turn off the power a

fter the measurement.

  Remove the cuff and record your data.  

  Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns off the 

power automatically one minute after measurement. 

Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same person.
