USING QARDIOARM FOR THE FIRST TIME
HOW TO TURN ON/OFF THE QARDIOARM
The QardioArm has a small magnet inside the cuff. The device
turns itself on when you unwrap the cuff and it turns off when
you wrap the cuff back up. When left unwrapped, QardioArm
will turn itself off after a few minutes automatically to
preserve battery life. To check if your device is switching on,
look for the short blink of a green light on the side of the
device when opening the cuff. Always store the QardioArm
with the cuff wrapped around the device.
The blood pressure measurement can be stopped at any time
by pressing the Cancel button on the Qardio App.
