• Press the START/STOP button to activate the device. All
segments will be displayed.
• The measurement will start automatically. The cuff will inflate.
• After the initial inflation of the cuff, the pressure will slowly
decrease and when a pulse is detected, the heart rate
symbol will start flashing.
Remove all watches, jewellery, etc. prior to attaching
the Arm cuff.
Press your brachial artery by two fingers
approximately 2,5 cm above the elbow on the inside of
your left arm to determine where your strongest pulse
is.
Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the tube through
the metal ring to a loop. The smooth cloth should be on
the inside of the cuff. The Velcro will be on the outside
of the cuff.
Put the left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of
the cuff should be approx. 1,5 cm above the elbow.
The cuff should lie over the brachial artery on the
inside of the arm.
Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are
tightened around your arm.
When the cuff is positioned properly, press the Velcro
firmly against the pile side of the cuff. The metal ring
will not touch your skin.
Relax your entire body, especially the area between
your elbow and fingers. Place your elbow on a table so
that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Avoid
leaning back while the measurement is being taken.
