First attach the free end of the cuff's

connector on the unit. Open up the cuff to a ring and slip it over the bare
left upper arm just above the elbow region. If wearing tight clothing,
ensure that the circulation in the arm is not impaired when rolling up the
sleeve. Please ensure that the cuff buckle is never positioned directly over
the artery, as this can result in an incorrect blood pressure reading.
The tube should run along the center of the inner arm towards the palm of
the hand. Ensure that the cuff itself is not twisted in any way.
Fasten the pressure cuff in such a way that it fits tightly but does not
constrict the arm. Do this by passing the end through the buckle, pulling it
tight and attaching it to the Velcro fastener.
Take readings while in a seated position.

Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. As soon as the pulse can be
determined, deflation is synchronised with the beating of the heart until
the measurement ends. This procedure is accompanied by a beep and
