Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutesbefore taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking themeasurement.2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on table so that thecuff is at the same level as your heart.6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to returnto the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need toincrease the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.8. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. Asingle measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true bloodpressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try tomeasure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.Category / Blood pressureHypertensionHigh-NormalNormalSystolic blood pressureabove 139 mmHg130 - 139 mmHg129 mmHg or lessDiastolic blood pressureabove 89 mmHg85 - 89 mmHg84 mmHg or lessINSTRUCTION MANUALAutomaticBlood Pressure MonitorModel HEM-741CRELINTRODUCTIONFill in for future reference.DATE PURCHASED: __________________SERIAL NUMBER: ____________________5339081-6BThank you for purchasing the ReliOn® HEM-741CREL Automatic Blood PressureMonitor.HEM-741CRELAutomaticBlood PressureMonitorBlood Pressure MonitorQuick Start Guide
