š Expose your wrist. Ensure that the circulation of the
arm is not hindered by tight clothing or similar.
š Place the cu ff on the inside of your wrist.
š Close the cu ff with the hook-and-loop fastener such
that the upper edge of the device is positioned approx.
1 cm underneath the heel of the hand.
š The cu ff must be fitted tightly around the wrist, but
must not constrict.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm,
which may mean that the measured blood pressure va-
lues are di ff erent. Always perform the measurement on
the same arm.
Adopt the correct posture
š Before every measurement, relax for about five mi-
nutes. Otherwise deviations can occur.
š You can take the measurement
while sitting or lying. To take your
blood pressure, make sure you are
sitting comfortably with your arms
and back leaning on something.
Do not cross your legs. Place your
feet flat on the ground. Make sure
to rest your arm and move it. Always make sure that
the cu ff is at heart level. Otherwise significant devi-
ations can occur. Relax your arm and the palm of
your hand.
š To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important
to remain still during the measurement and not to
speak.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
As described above, attach the cu ff and adopt the
posture in which you want to perform the measure-
ment.
š Press the START/STOP button
to start the blood pressure monitor.
All displays will illuminate briefly.
