Open the battery cover on the

If you do not intend to use the

5. Connecting the tubes
6. Applying the cuff
Measurement should be taken
on the naked arm which usually
has the higher blood pressure
value.
When using the draw-clamp
cuff, thread the end of the cuff
through the metal hoop if neces-
sary, so as to form a loop. In this
instance the Velcro fastener must
be on the outside. Wrap the cuff
round the upper arm, the tube
lies in the centre of the elbow
bend, pointing towards the
hand. Take the free end of the
cuff, wrap it firmly round the arm
and close the Velcro fastener.
Check that the lower edge of the
cuff is approx. 2.5 cm away from
the bend of the elbow (see fig.).
The cuff should be firm but not
too tight. You should be able to
push one or two fingers between
the arm and the cuff. Note:
