5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) Remove all eventual objects and jewellery (e.g. wristwatch)
from the wrist in question. Draw the cuff over the wrist.
b) The distance between the cuff and the hand should be
approx. 10 mm.
c) Secure the cuff with the Velcro fastener, so that it lies
comfortably and not too tight, whereby no space should
remain between the cuff and the wrist.
d) Lay the arm on a table, with the palm upwards.Support the
arm a little with a rest (cushion), so that the cuff rests at
about the same height as the heart. Take care, that the cuff
lies free. Remain so for 5 minutes sitting quietly, before
beginning with the measurement.

5.4. Measurement Mode Selection

Choose which measurement mode you want to use before taking a blood pressure reading. Press OK
to enter the menus, press ▲ or ▼ to select Measuring mode, and press OK to enter the submenu.
Select «1» or «3/MAM» by the selection buttons and confirm your selection by OK.
Average (MAM) Mode
In average mode, the unit takes 3 continuous measurements,
and afterwards calculates the result based on an average
using MAM technology (see Section 2.4).
There is a 15-second rest time between measurements; the
unit beeps during the last 5 seconds to remind you of the
upcoming measurement.
