the skin, as clothing may cause a faint
pulse and result in a measurement
error.

How To Take Proper Measurements

For the most accurate blood pressure

measurement:

Sit comfortably around the 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. (Do not be
alarmed)


After Measurement

After measurement, press the

START

button to turn off the power.

Remove the cuff and record your data.

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

power off approximately one minute after measurement.

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