on the left side of the main unit.

Put your left arm through the cuff loop and apply the arm cuff to

your upper arm. The air tube should be centred on the inside of

your arm and point down the inside of the arm, so that the air tube

runs down the inside of your forearm and is in line with your

middle finger.

3. When the cuff is positioned correctly, close the fabric fastener

firmly.

1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on

the floor and place your arm on a

table so that the arm cuff will be

at the same level as your heart.
