Do not smoke, eat, exercise, or drink caffeinated beverages or alcohol at least 30 minutes prior to the measurement.
Empty your bladder.
Take a short rest and sit calmly in a quiet environment for 5 minutes.

Remove thick clothing and roll your sleeve down.
Place the cuff on your upper arm, above the elbow, and then secure the cuff tightly.
