OMRON MODEL HEM-806F FINGER BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE MONITOR: INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Prior to taking your blood pressure measurement, you should avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes. Also, stress will raise blood pressure, so avoid taking measurements at these times. Rest at least 15 minutes before taking a reading. Take the measurements in a quiet place and seated in a relaxed position, with both arms on a table so that the monitor is at heart level. Make sure your hands are warm. Running your hands under warm water or gently massaging them will help open capillaries of the artery. Take the measurement from your left index finger while remaining still and not talking. Be sure to record measurements daily, also noting pulse and time of day.

OMRON MODEL HEM-806F FINGER BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE MONITOR: HOW TO USE THE MONITOR
Sitting in a chair with both feet flat on the floor, bend arms slightly at the elbows, and hold the monitor at heart level. If a table is available, place both forearms on the table with the monitor at heart level. Insert your left finger into the finger cuff and let it rest gently on the bottom. Press the ON/OFF button. Display symbols will appear, then disappear and the deflation symbol starts to flash. The ready to measure symbol (heart) will appear next to a zero when the monitor is ready for a measurement. Press the start button, and the cuff automatically inflates to approximately 180mmHg. When the cuff bladder reaches your correct starting point, it automatically begins to deflate and the decreasing numbers appear on the screen. The ready to measure symbol (heart) flashes at the onset of the reading (oscillation signals). The monitor exhausts the residual air when the measurement is complete. The ready to measure symbol (heart) stops flashing and your blood pressure and pulse display alternately. Wait 5-10 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement to allow blood vessels to return to normal. Remember to keep a record of your measurements.
