How to Wrap the Wrist Cuff
2.
Pull the wrist cuff upward holding the edge of the wrist
cuff so that it can be wrapped snugly.
• If the wrist cuff is not wrapped snugly, correct
measurement may not be possible.
Lightly press the velcro part with your finger so that
it is fastened tightly.
• If the velcro part is not tightly fastened, the wrist cuff will
become loose during measurement and the measurement may
be impossible.
• Those having a slender wrist (wrist circumference of less
than 5 3 / 4 inches) may feel the wrist cuff move if the velcro
is not wrapped snugly. In that case, do not wrap the wrist
cuff any tighter, it will not affect the measurement
.
• Fold and fasten the extra portion of wrist cuff as shown
to the right. Even if the extra portion of wrist cuff
is not fastened, it will not affect the measurement.
You can also measure your blood pressure on your right wrist.
Wrap the wrist cuff as shown in the Figure to the right.
• Change the Measurement to Right Hand in the Setting Mode.
