Positioning the Pressure Cuff
CAUTIONS: � Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure. Also, do not use the unit in conjunction with other devices. Improper use may cause a malfunction or personal injury. � Keep the unit out of the reach of children. 1. Remove your watch and any jewelry from your left hand. 2. Place the monitor on the palm side of your wrist, roughly 1.5 cm (1/2") below your palm as shown in Fig. 4, and secure it with the hook-and-loop tape so that it fits comfortably (is neither too tight nor too loose). 3. Make sure that the display is on the inside of your wrist (palm side up). Also, center the unit on your wrist.

4. Empty bladder, if possible, before taking blood pressure. IMPORTANT: � Measure your blood pressure at the same time and under the same conditions every day if possible. The ideal time to measure your blood pressure is in the morning immediately after waking up, while you are still relatively calm. If this is not possible, try to take your blood pressure prior to breakfast, before you become active. � Relax and take measurements in a comfortable position. � Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement. � Keep still and do not speak during measurement. Blood pressure can fluctuate with the slightest change, such as tensing your muscles or changing your posture.
Correct Position for Blood Pressure Measurement
When measuring your blood pressure at your wrist, the pressure cuff must be at heart level to ensure consistent, accurate readings.
Taking measurements while sitting down
1. Place your elbow on a table. 2. Using the hard carrying case or other object as a support, position your wrist at heart level. � Your blood pressure measurement will be too low if you hold your hand too high, or too high if you hold your hand too low. 9
