5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
2. Slide your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 0.5 to 1 inch (1-2 cm) above your elbow.
3. Ensure the air tube runs down the center of your arm in line with your middle finger.
4. Wrap the cuff snugly around your upper arm. The fabric fastener should be secure but not overly tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.

5.3 Understanding Your Readings

• SYS (Systolic Pressure): The highest pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
