• Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature
changes, or humidity. Such treatment may result in malfunction, a
shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries or distorted parts.
• Do not tamper with the internal components. Doing so will terminate
the product warranty (if applicable) and may cause damage.
• The unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
IMPORTANT
• This is not a medical device and is not a substitute for a physician’s
care. Individuals with specific health concerns should consult with
their physician.
• Be sure to set the clock before taking your first measurement, or
whenever you replace the batteries, so that the date and time are
stored in the memory with your history.
• Relax when taking your blood pressure. Try to take a 15-minute rest
before you begin.
• Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while taking
a measurement.
• Avoid talking or moving your fingers and hand while taking a
measurement. Rapid movements or other activities may alter
your reading.
• Wait at least an hour before taking your blood pressure if you have
just eaten a large meal.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before taking your blood pressure.
• Do not measure your blood pressure if you are under stress.
• Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your
blood circulation to recover.
• For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar
conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately
the same time, on the same wrist, or as directed by a physician.
