TAKING YOUR BLOOD 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
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.
