5.1. Before Measurement

• Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before measurement.
• Rest for 5 minutes before taking a reading.
• Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
• Place your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.

5.2. Applying the Cuff

1. Slide the cuff onto your bare upper arm, ensuring the air tube runs down the center of your arm towards your hand.
2. The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 2-3 cm above your elbow.
3. Tighten the cuff firmly but not too tightly. Ensure two fingers can fit underneath.

5.3. Taking a Measurement

1. Press the ON/OFF button to start the measurement.
2. The cuff will automatically inflate, and the measurement will begin.
3. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
4. The monitor will display your systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (Pulse) once the measurement is complete.
5. The device will automatically store the reading and turn off after a short period of inactivity.

5.4. AFIB and Irregular Heartbeat Detection

This monitor can detect Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) and irregular heartbeats. If the AFIB symbol (AFib) appears on the display after a measurement, it indicates that Atrial Fibrillation may have been detected. If this symbol appears frequently, consult your physician. The irregular heartbeat symbol (a heart icon) indicates an irregular pulse during measurement. If this appears regularly, consult your physician.

The device can automatically take three consecutive measurements and average them for a more reliable result. To activate MAM mode, refer to the specific instructions in the full manual or press the 'M' button until 'MAM' appears on the screen before starting a measurement.
