Precautionary measures
• This manual and the product are not substitutes for
visiting the doctor.
Neither the information contained herein nor this prod-
uct may be used to diagnose or treat health problems,
or to prescribe drugs. If you have or suspect that you
have a medical problem, please seek immediate ad-
vice from your doctor.
• Do not conduct any measurements if the temperature
is low (below +5 °C) or high (over +40 °C), or if the
relative humidity is beyond the range of 15 % to 93 %,
as this can lead to inaccurate readings.
• Wait 30 to 45 minutes, before taking a measurement if
you have just had a caffeinated drink or a cigarette.
• Relax for at least 5 to 10 minutes before taking a meas-
urement.
• Please wait 3 to 5 minutes between measurements, so
that your blood vessels can return to the state they
were in prior to measurement. You may have to adapt
the waiting time to your personal physiology.
• It is recommended that you use the same arm for each
measurement (preferably the left) and take the meas-
urement at about the same time every day.
• Sit down comfortably with your elbows placed on the
table and both feet on the ground. Please do not inter-
lock your legs during the measurement.
• Wrap the cuff snug around your upper arm and lay
your arm on a
fl
at surface at the same level as your
heart.
• Take the measurement at room temperature in a quiet
and stress-free environment.
• The unit should not be moved or shaken during the
measurement. Please do not speak during the meas-
urement.
