· Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than just
one single measurement.
· Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
· If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure very
closely as it can change drastically during this time!
· If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
„Section 4."), measurements taken with this instrument should
only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.
· The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency
of heart pacemakers!
