4. Quick Reference Guide
If you are using this device for the first time, please read
carefully chapter 3 of this instruction manual. To help ensure
a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, or exercising for at
least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
1.
Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on
a table so that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your heart.
2.
Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm. The coloured marker
should be centred on the inside of your arm and point down the
inside of the arm, so that the air tube runs down the inside of
your forearm and is in line with your middle finger.
3.
Secure the cuff around your arm using the fabric fastener strip.
4.
Press the O/I START button.
When measurement is complete,
the monitor displays your blood
pressure and pulse rate, and
automatically deflates the cuff.
Notes:
• Always wait at least 2-3 minutes before taking another blood
pressure measurement.
• Please note that all measurements are stored in the memory.
If different people measure with the same device make sure
that you are aware of this fact.
