Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also
be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements
should be made using the same arm.
To use on the right arm, you must position the artery
symbol " " over the main artery. Locate the main artery
by pressing with two fingers approximately 1" (2 cm) above
the bend of your elbow on the inside of your right arm.
Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is
your main artery.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition
and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour
after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages
with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood
pressure.

• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit
quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during
a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should
not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a
measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm
or hand muscles.
• See page 30 for additional notes regarding your blood
pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.
