Applying the arm cuff
1. Plug in the cuff, connecting tube to the unit.
2. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the “Index” end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff.
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The "OK" range indication
should be positioned closer to yourself with the rubber tube pointing in
the direction of your arm. Position the artery mark ( ) over the main
artery (on the inside of your arm) in the upper arm.

4. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge
of the arm cuff at approximately 2 to 3 cm
above the inner side of the elbow joint. Tighten
the cuff by pulling the "Index" end of the cuff.
5. If the Index line falls within the OK range,
indicated at the edge of the cuff, this cuff is
suitable for your use. If the Index line falls out of
the OK range, you may need a special cuff for
measurement. Please visit www.lumiscope.net
