1. Hold your left arm in front of you with your palm facing upwards. Apply the cuff so that the
monitor is on the inside of your wrist.
2. Place the edge of the cuff at approximately ¼”~½” (0.5~1.5cm) of the palm.
3. Wrap the cuff comfortably around the wrist. The top and bottom edges of the cuff should be
tightened evenly around the wrist.
4. When the cuff is positioned correctly, secure by pressing both bands firmly together.
13. Correct Measuring Position
It is extremely important, in order to obtain correct values that the
cuff be at the same level of the heart. A higher or deeper position
may give deviations from the true value.
1. Place your elbow on the table. Make sure the cuff is at the same
level as the heart.
2. Relax your hand with the palm facing up.
14. How to take Measurements
1. Press the button. The unit will start to inflate the cuff after the initial test procedure. The 0
number will appear on the LCD.
Simply press the button to take the reading if the unit is already switched on.
2. The cuff inflates to approximately 160mmHg (approximately 40mmHg higher than the average
systolic blood pressure reading). The increasing symbol ↑ appears on the LCD.
3. As soon as the cuff reaches the required inflation level, it begins to deflate automatically. As
the cuff deflates, the decreasing symbol ↓ appears on the LCD. The heart symbol flashes.
4. The cuff is deflated as soon as the measurement is complete. The heart symbol stops
flashing and your blood pressure and pulse will be displayed on the LCD for two minutes.
