3. Important instructions for use
The measurement results of automated blood pressure monitors can be
influenced by the measuring location, posture, previous exertion and gen-
eral physical condition. Please pay attention to the usage information in
order to obtain accurate readings.
• Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or smoke for at least one hour be-
fore measuring.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement. Depend-
ing on the previous degree of exertion, you may even need to rest for
up to an hour.
• Expose the wrist. Under no circumstances may clothes hinder the
blood flow to or from the arm, as this affects the blood pressure at the
measuring point and can lead to incorrect readings.
• Breath slowly and deeply. Do not hold your breath.
• Check the display for irregular pulse signals. If required, repeat the
measurement when conditions have improved.
• In order to exclude side differences and to obtain comparable meas-
urement results, it is important to always take the measurement on
the same arm. Ask your doctor which side it is advisable for you to
measure.
• Always take your daily blood pressure measurements at around the
same time.
• Do not move or talk during measuring.

• Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It can go up or down by more than
20 mmHg in patients within a few minutes.
Insert the batteries provided into the device.
4. Initial operation of the device
The device has a date/time function that can be activated as required (see
page 38). This function is deactivated on delivery.
When the date/time function is activated, the measurement results are
saved along with their date and time. This can make it easier to view the
readings at a later point.
