Adopt the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
Otherwise deviations can occur.
• You can take the measure-
ment while sitting or lying.
To take your blood pres-
sure, make sure you are
sitting comfortably with your
arms and back leaning on
something. Do not cross your
legs. Place your feet flat on the ground. Make sure to rest
your arm and move it. Relax your arm and the palm of
your hand. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
Otherwise significant deviations can occur. A position
indicator is integrated into the device to additionally assist
you. It signals the correct position of the blood pressure
monitor. When you see O.K. on the display, you know that
the device is positioned correctly.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to re-
main still during the measurement and not to speak.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the posture in
which you want to perform the measurement.
• Press the START/STOP button
start the blood pressure monitor. All
displays will illuminate briefly.
The blood pressure monitor will begin the
measurement automatically after 3 sec-
onds.
