3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using
this Monitor

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before taking the
measurement.
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and
relax.
3. Always take the measurement when seated and always on the
same wrist. Take your measurements on the wrist where the
blood pressure is normally higher. Do not cross your legs.
4. Remove any clothing on your wrist and your watch so that your
wrist is free.
5. Always ensure the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in the
pictures in the short instruction card.
6. Fit the cuff closely, but not too tightly. The cuff will cover a wrist
diameter of 13.5 to 23 cm (5.25 - 9,05 inches). The monitor comes
to sit on the inside of your wrist and must be at the same height
as your heart.
7. Select a user by setting the user switch 7 to either 1 or 2.
