4. Quick Reference Guide
Use this as a quick reference guide only. If you are using this
device for the first time, please read carefully Chapter 3 of this
Instruction Manual.
To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, or
exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
1.
Sit on a chair with your
feet flat on the floor and
place your arm on a table
so that the arm cuff will be
at the same level as your
heart.
2.
Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm. The coloured marker
should be centred on the inside of your arm and point down the
inside of the arm, so that the air tube runs down the inside of
your forearm and is in line with your middle finger.
3.
Secure the cuff around your arm using the fabric fastener strip.
4.
Press the I/O button to turn the unit on, then
pump the inflation bulb to inflate the cuff.
After measurement is complete and the
measurement results are displayed, press
the air release button to release any air in
the cuff.
5.
Press the I/O button to turn the unit off.
Note: Always wait at least 2-3 minutes before taking another
blood pressure measurement.
