1.

Once the cuff is properly applied and you are seated with your  
feet flat on the floor you are ready to take a measurement.

2.

Press the

(Up) or 

(Down)  button  

and you will see a number appear: 1,2, or   
3. These are each of the 3 party memory  
zones explained on page 9 (Special  
Features).

*If you select zone No. 1 your blood  

pressure will be recorded as on of the 40 readings available for   

that zone. The same is true for zones 2 and 3. When taking  

measurements, be sure and select the correct zone number so  

that the measurement is stored in the appropriate zone.

3.

Press the START/STOP button. The monitor will begin to  

inflate to the level that's right for you. An upwards facing  
arrow on the digital display indicates the monitor is inflating.  
Remain still and do not talk during the measurement process.

4.

You will feel the cuff get tighter around  
your arm - this is normal. It should not  
inflate to the point of discomfort. If this  
occurs, the cuff may be secured too tightly.  
To  stop the inflation, press START/STOP.  
The cuff will deflate automatically. Rewrap  
the cuff allowing more room between your  
arm and the cuff.

Applying the Cuff

1.

If your arm measures 9"-13" around, use 
the regular cuff included with your monitor.  
If your arm measures 13"-17" around, use  
the large cuff included with your monitor. 

2.

Before taking a measurement, read the  

Important Reminders on pages 14-15.  
Make certain the cuff plug is inserted  
securely in the monitor. Remove any  
constricting or thick clothing from your  
upper arm. 

3.

Turn your palm upwards. The cuff should  
be positioned on your bicep and the red  
arterial marker should be in the center of  
the inside your arm over the brachial artery.  
The cuff tube should also run down the  
center of your arm. Instructions are also  
printed directly on the cuff for reference.

4.

Place the curved cuff on your bicep and  
secure the cuff firmly around your arm  
using the Velcro.

5.

The velcro tab should fall within the "OK"  
range printed on the cuff for proper use. If  
your arm is larger than 13" around the cuff  
does not fall within the "OK" range, use the  
large cuff enclosed in the package.

6.

Relax your arm and place your elbow on  
the table. 

0.8" - 1.2"
