Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:

2. With palm facing upward, attach monitor to the inside
of your left wrist and fasten securely. The top edge of the

arm rest if needed. Positioning of the wrist at heart level
is critical for accurate measurement.

Cuff Inflation Meter will show on the display screen. It
is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
