Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should be made using the same arm. To use on the right arm, you must position the artery symbol “ 
” over the main artery. Locate the main artery by pressing with two fingers approximately 1" (2 cm) above the bend
of your elbow on the inside of your right arm.
Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
•Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
•Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking
to measure blood pressure.
•Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
•During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
•See page 24 for additional notes regarding your blood pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first time, please remove the protective film from the screen.
