To ensure an accurate reading using the blood pressure monitor:

Fit the Cuff Correctly: Place the cuff on your arm, opposite to how you'd wear a wristwatch. It should fit snugly but not too tight, with the cuff's writing facing upright. Ensure a one-finger width gap between the top of the cuff and your hand.

Proper Positioning: Sit with your feet flat on the floor and your legs uncrossed. With your other hand, support the arm with the cuff at the elbow, keeping the monitor at heart level. This position helps relax your arm and ensures the monitor's accuracy.

Starting the Measurement: Turn on the device using the side switch, which may be hard to see. Press the middle button to start recording. Use this moment to take a few deep breaths and relax.

Monitoring Your Blood Pressure: Watch for readings that exceed 150/100 mm Hg for blood pressure or 100 bpm for heart rate. Do not proceed with your session if your readings are above these thresholds. Instead, contact your guide immediately to discuss your next steps and possibly reschedule your session for a time when your readings are within safe limits.
