6. Operation - Taking a Measurement

Follow these steps for an accurate blood pressure measurement:

1. Prepare for Measurement: Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level. Remain still and quiet.
2. Apply the Cuff: Wrap the cuff around your bare upper arm, approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow joint. Ensure the air tube runs down the center of your arm in line with your middle finger. The cuff should be snug but not too tight (you should be able to insert two fingers).
3. Select User: If using the 2-user mode, press the 'SET' button briefly to switch between User A and User B.
4. Start Measurement: Press the 'START/STOP' button. The cuff will inflate automatically. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
5. Read Results: Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse readings will be displayed on the screen. The results will be automatically saved to the selected user's memory.
6. Power Off: The device will automatically shut down after 30 seconds of inactivity. You can also press 'START/STOP' to manually turn it off.
