l

Remove batteries if storing the unit more than six months without use. Never

leave dead batteries in an unit since they may leak and cause damage.

Proper Use of the Arm Cuff

1. Please relax and remain seated or reclined in a quiet location for 5 to 10

minutes prior to taking a measurement.

2. Remove any clothing on the upper arm so that the cuff can be placed directly on

the skin. Constriction of the upper arm caused by rolling up a shirt sleeve may

cause an inaccurate reading. Avoid this condition by completely removing the

garment causing the constriction.

3. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm as shown in the diagram on page 3. The

lower

of the cuff (edge with air hose attached) should be about 1 inch

above the elbow. Position the cuff so that the hose runs along the inside of

the left arm.

4. Insert the straight plug on the end of the arm cuff air hose into the air connector

on the unit.

5. Relax for a few more minutes after the cuff is applied before beginning the

measurement.
