★ Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to measurement.
★ Remove any constricting clothing and place the cuff on a bare wrist.
★ Keep still and do not talk until the measurement is complete.
★ The cuff must be neither too tight nor too loose. Using a little force, you should be
able to place two fingers between the cuff and your wrist.
