Manual Blood Pressure Monitors
I have a Digital Blood pressure Monitor Sunbeam Model 7621, but I do not remember how to operate it.?

I have been looking online for the user manual but no luck, even it seems it is kind of easy to operate it looks like I am not using the monitor correctly. Does anybody know how to use it?
Thanks for your help

A sample of it...

1. Attach the arm cuff at the proper position of the arm as high as the
level of the heart.
2. Do not bump or move the instrument while taking your blood pressure,
or proper measurement will not be achieved,
3. Blood pressure should not be taken for at least 5 to 10 minutes after
any exertional activities and you should remain
posture while your blood pressure is being
in a quite relaxed
measured.
4. Do not wind the arm cuff over, jacket or sweater sleeve, or measurement
cannot be done. Also, if the upper arm is squeezed by the shirt
sleeve rolled up to the upper arm, proper measurement results will
not be obtained.
5. There are normal fluctuations of your blood pressure during the course
of a day. The blood pressure is usually lowest upon arising-in the
morning, before beginning daily activities. It will gradually fall again
during the sleeping hours.
6. Although such cases are rare, for subjects having an extremely weak
pulse or irregular pulse, errors may result which prevent proper measurement.
If such abnormal variations are noticed, consult your
physician or the sales representative from which you purchased
this instrument.
7. This device is intended for adult use. Please consult your physician
should you wish to use the device on children.
