Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the monitor.
- Insert four (4) "AA" alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Cuff Placement
Proper cuff placement is crucial for accurate readings.
- Sit in a comfortable position with your feet flat on the floor and your arm resting on a table.
- Slide the cuff onto your left upper arm, ensuring the air tube points towards your forearm.
- The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) above your elbow joint.
- Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm. It should be tight enough so that you can barely slide two fingers under the edge.
- Connect the air tube from the cuff to the cuff connector port on the side of the monitor.
