To take a measurement:
1. Choose the position you from which you wish to measure
– sitting or lying down.
2. Position your body so that your wrist is parallel with your
heart, using the chart and illustrations below as a guide.
IF YOU ARE… THEN…
Place your elbow on a table, using the
plastic storage case or other object as a
support under your forearm. Your wrist
should be parallel with your heart with the
palm facing up.
Place your arm across your chest with
the wrist parallel to your heart. Hold your
elbow with the other hand.

Result: After a few seconds, the blood pressure monitor
beeps and begins inflating the wrist cuff. It then slowly deflates
until there is another beep, signifying that the measurement
is complete. Do not move from the first beep until the last to
ensure a more accurate measurement. Your systolic and
diastolic pressure readings flash on the display, followed by
MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure, see page 4) and pulse per
minute readings every 2 seconds. The measurement is
automatically stored as the first (1) entry in the memory; the
last entry (30) is dropped, and all the entries in between move
up one digit (e.g., 18 becomes 19, and so on).
RECALLING MEASUREMENTS
