5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Proper Cuff Placement

Before taking a measurement, ensure you are in a quiet environment and have rested for at least 5-15 minutes. Sit in a chair with your back straight and your feet flat on the floor. Place the cuff on your left upper arm, approximately 1-2 cm (0.5-1 inch) above your elbow crease. The air tube should run along the inside of your arm, aligned with your middle finger. The cuff should be snug but not too tight; you should be able to insert one finger between the cuff and your arm.

5.2 Taking a Measurement

Rest your arm on a table or flat surface so that the cuff is at heart level. Keep your palm facing upward. Press the "START/STOP" button on the monitor. The cuff will begin to inflate automatically. Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement. The monitor will display your Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA), and Pulse readings once the measurement is complete.

If an irregular heartbeat or body movement is detected during the measurement, corresponding symbols will appear on the display. Consult your healthcare provider for interpretation of your readings and any concerns.
