4.1. Pre-Measurement Preparations

For accurate readings, follow these guidelines:

• Rest comfortably in a quiet environment for 5 minutes in a chair.
• Have an empty bladder.
• Do not eat, ingest caffeine, smoke, or engage in physical activity at least 30 minutes prior to the measurement.
• Measure blood pressure in a quiet, private environment with adequate ambient temperature.

4.2. Applying the Cuff

Proper cuff placement is crucial for accuracy:

1. Wrap the cuff around your left upper arm, ensuring the air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
2. Allow two fingers of space between the cuff and your arm.
3. Position the cuff 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) above the elbow.
4. Ensure the cuff is placed on your arm at the same level as your heart.

Figure 4.2: How to Use. This visual guide demonstrates the four steps for correctly applying the cuff and initiating a measurement.

4.3. Taking a Measurement

With the cuff correctly applied and the device powered on:

1. Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will automatically inflate and begin measurement.
2. Remain still and silent during the measurement.
3. The monitor will display your systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate once complete.

The monitor supports two users, each with 100 memory slots:

• Use the user selection button (often labeled with person icons) to switch between User 1 and User 2 before taking a measurement.
• Press the MEM button to review past readings for the selected user.
