4. Before taking your blood pressure, you will need to set the
pressure switch to a number that is at least 30 mmHg higher
than your expected systolic pressure. Use the chart below as a
guide. For example, if you believe your blood pressure to be
140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic), set the switch to 180. If you
know it is 120/80, you should set the switch to 150. Don’t
worry if you set the pressure switch too low. The monitor will
automatically re-inflate to the next higher setting if it is unable
to detect the systolic pressure at the current setting.
NOTE: If your systolic reading is greater than 210, please press
and hold the “START” button until the pressure switch reaches
30 mmHg higher than your systolic reading. The maximum cuff
pressure is set at 320 mmHg. If it reaches 320 mmHg, the auto
exhaust will be triggered and cuff pressure will deflate to 0.
If you think you have set the pressure too high, stop the
inflation process by pressing START. Then reset the
switch to the next lower setting.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:
☞ Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement.
☞ Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.
☞ Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm
to measure pressure.
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 the Velcro.
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.
