5.2 Correct Body Position
For accurate readings, proper body positioning is crucial:
- Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
- Rest your arm on a table or other stable surface.
- Elevate your wrist so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. The monitor may provide an audio prompt if your wrist is not at the optimal height.
- Remain still and avoid talking during the measurement.

5.3 Taking a Measurement
- Once the cuff is correctly applied and you are in the proper position, press the 'Start/Stop' button (power icon).
- The cuff will automatically inflate. Remain still and quiet.
- After inflation, the cuff will slowly deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse readings will appear on the display. The talking function will announce the readings if enabled.
- The monitor will automatically store the reading in memory.
5.4 Understanding Readings and Indicators
The display shows three main values:
- SYS (Systolic Pressure): The top number, indicating the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
- DIA (Diastolic Pressure): The bottom number, indicating the pressure in your arteries between beats.
- PULSE: Your heart rate per minute.
Visual Blood Pressure Guide: A color-coded bar on the left side of the display helps interpret your readings according to internationally established standards. Green indicates normal, yellow/orange indicates elevated, and red indicates high blood pressure. Consult your doctor for specific guidance.
