Operating Instructions
1. Applying the Wrist Cuff
- Remove any tight clothing from your wrist.
- Place the monitor on your left wrist with the display facing up. The cuff should be positioned approximately 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches) from your palm.
- Secure the cuff snugly around your wrist using the hook-and-loop fastener. Ensure it is not too tight or too loose.
2. Correct Positioning for Measurement
For accurate readings, it is crucial to position your wrist at heart level. The UB-543 features a Correct Positioning Guide to assist you. Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Rest your elbow on a table and raise your wrist so the monitor is at the same level as your heart.

3. Taking a Measurement
- Once the cuff is correctly applied and your wrist is at heart level, press the START button.
- The cuff will begin to inflate automatically. Remain still and silent during the measurement.
- The monitor will display your systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PUL) once the measurement is complete.
