1. Place your elbow on a table

so that the cuff is at the same 
level as your heart as shown 
in Fig. A. 

Note:  Your heart is located 

slightly below your 
armpit.

    Relax your entire body, 

especially between your elbow 
and fingers.

2.  If the cuff is not at the same 

level as your heart or if 
you cannot keep your arm 
completely still throughout 
the reading, use a soft object
such as a folded towel to 
support your arm as shown 
in Fig. B.

3. Turn your palm upwards.
4.  Sit upright in a chair, and 

take 5-6 deep breaths. 
 
Avoid leaning back while the 
measurement is being taken 
as shown in Fig. C.

• Position the monitor at the same level as your

heart during measurement to ensure accurate 

readings.

• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat

and is in constant fluctuation throughout the 

day.

• Blood pressure measurement can be

affected by the position of the user, his 

or her physiologic condition and other 

factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour

after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking 

beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or 

smoking to measure blood pressure.

• Before measurement, it is suggested that you

sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements

taken during a relaxed state will have greater 

accuracy. You should not be physically tired 

or exhausted while taking a measurement.

• During the measurement, do not talk or

move your arm or hand muscles.

• See page 26 for additional notes regarding

your blood pressure measurement.

If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first 
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.
