QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

1.Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

2.Put your left arm through the cuff loop making sure that the bottom edge of the cuff is approximately one-half inch above the elbow.

3.Pull the end of the cuff so that the entire cuff is evenly tightened around your arm and press the sewn hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff. Make sure that your skin will not be pinched in the D-ring once you inflate the cuff bladder.

Immediately deflate the cuff bladder and readjust the cuff if skin becomes pinched.

4.Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

5.Press the ON/OFF button.

6.After the Heart Symbol ( ) appears next to a zero on the digital panel, press the START button.

7.Remain still throughout the entire reading.

8.When measurement is complete, the monitor alternately displays your blood pressure and pulse on the digital panel and automatically deflates the cuff.

9.Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement. You may require more rest time between readings depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
