Always rest for about four to five minutes before taking measurements.
Press the On/Off and Start button to start a measurement. The cuff will
automatically inflate and then deflate when the measurement is complete.
Taking measurements while sitting down
1. Rest your elbows on a table or
other level surface.
2. Hold the arm so that the cuff is at
heart level.
3. With the palm of the hand facing
up, release any tenseness in
your muscles.
• Slightly extend your fingers.
• Slightly bend your wrist.
When measuring in a sitting position,
lightly clench the hand of the arm not
fitted with the blood pressure monitor
and rest it on the table.
