Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:
1. Sit comfortably with your left arm resting
on a flat surface so that the center of
your upper arm is at the same height as
your heart.
2. Lay left arm on the table, palm up and
thread cuff end through metal loop,
smooth side against arm. Then position
the tube off-center toward the inner side
of arm in line with the little finger.
3. Pull the end of the cuff to tighten it, fold
back the extra material, and fasten
securely. The cuff should be snug but
not too tight. You should be able to
insert two fingers between the cuff and
your arm.
☞ IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day.
4. Designate yourself as User 1 or User 2. To keep track of your
previous blood pressure measurements accurately, User 1
should use the START 1 button and User 2 should use the
START 2 button.
5. Press the START 1 or START 2 button. Your
average blood pressure reading will appear with
the number of measurements stored in memory
flashing three times. As the cuff pressurizes, the
Pressure Indicator will show on the display
screen. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
