Before applying the cuff, insert the cuff socket into the connector socket on the left side of the device.
Do not mechanically constrict, compress or bend the sleeve tube.
Blood pressure must be measured on a bare upper arm. If the cuff is completely open, thread the end of the cuff through the metal ring to form a loop. Position the cuff on the upper arm so that the lower edge is 2–3 cm above the crook of the arm and above the artery. The tube points to the centre of the palm.
Now bend your arm slightly, grasp the free end of the cuff, wrap it firmly round your arm and close the hook-and-loop fastener.
