• Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or smoke for at least one
hour before measuring.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
Depending 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.
• Do not move or talk during measuring.
• 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 compara-
ble measurement 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.
