3.Using the Unit
Notes:
• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate
results.
• You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
• Arched back (leaning
forwards)
• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low
table so that you tend to lean
forward
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to
strain or the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions
etc., to adjust the height of your arm.
