QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. 2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be about 1/2 inch above the elbow. The cuff tab should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Blood pressure is the force on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them. Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, or beats, it sends a surge of blood through the blood vessels and pressure increases.

When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called hypertension (high blood pressure). Your new ReliOn HEM-412CREL Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor measures your systolic and diastolic blood pressure for you, then displays the results on an easy-to-read digital panel!

For example, when you are exercising or angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping your blood pressure decreases. These changes are completely normal. Your ReliOn HEM-412CREL Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor is especially helpful when tracking changes in blood pressure because it travels anywhere and takes just seconds to use.
