Operating Instructions
1. Applying the Arm Cuff
- Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
- Slide your arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm and be aligned with your middle finger.
- The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 1 to 2 cm above your elbow.
- Wrap the cuff firmly around your upper arm, ensuring it is snug but not too tight. The "OK" symbol for cuff wrapping will appear on the display if correctly applied.

- Ensure you are relaxed and have not exercised, eaten, or smoked for at least 30 minutes prior to measurement.
- Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
- Remain still and silent during the measurement.
- Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will be displayed.
- Press the START/STOP button again to turn off the monitor. The measurement will be automatically stored in the device's memory.
