Attaching the Cuff to the Monitor
After installing the batteries, you must attach the blood pressure cuff to the monitor. To do so, insert the Air Connector Plug of the blood pressure cuff into the Air Socket of the monitor firmly.
NOTE: Be sure to differentiate the Air Socket from the AC Adapter Jack. The Air Connector Plug will only securely fit into the correct jack.
