a. Place the cuff 1~2cm above the elbow joint.
Measuring can be done on light clothing such as a shirt or blouse.
However, if you have a weak pulse, it is recommended you test on a bare arm.
Remove any tight or restrictive clothing from your arm. For example,
restriction caused by rolling up shirt sleeve.
b. Place hand on a flat surface with the palm facing up and with the rubber tube
running down the center of the arm.
c. Turn the cuff end outwards and tighten it by pulling it through the metal loop
and pressing the hook surface of the cuff on to the loop surface of the cuff.
To get the correct tightness of the cuff, you should be able to fit two fingers
under the cuff.
Concerned about which arm to use? Please refer to ‘Your first test’ on page 8.
d. Use your free hand to adjust the tightness of the cuff until it is firm.
