Press your brachial artery approximately 1 inch (2 ~ 3 cm) above the elbow on the inside of your left arm to
determine where your strongest pulse is.

Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around your arm.

When the cuff is positioned properly, press the velcro firmly against the pile side of the cuff.

Fit the cuff snugly, leaving enough space for 1 inch (2 ~ 3 cm) between the
inner elbow and the lower edge of the cuff, or the measurement may not be
accurate.
