705CP-II English
Before measuring, stretch your back and sit up
straight, breath normally 5-6 times, relax your
shoulders, arms and entire body.
Slightly bend and support your elbow (e.g. on a
table).
Do not move, talk or touch the device during
measurement.
Stress influences your blood pressure, so try to
relax before taking a measurement.
To compare results, measurements must always
be taken from the same arm.
Do not place the cuff over thick clothes and do not
roll up your sleeve if it is too tight.
Align the cuff with the height of your heart (breast
height). If necessary use a pillow or cushion.
Coldness raises your blood pressure. It is
recommended to measure at room temperature
(+20°C).
Relax before measurement. If necessary go to the
bathroom before measurement.
Do not measure directly after bathing.
If you wish to interrupt measurement prematurely,
press the (O/I) button. Inflation is stopped and the
air is automatically released from the cuff.
Blood pressure measurements taken in a moving
vehicle may be influenced by vibration.
If an error has occurred during measurement is
displayed. Please refer to the next chapter.
The monitor should be switched off after
measurement to avoid running down the batteries
unnecessarily. If you forget to do so, the monitor
switches itself off automatically after 5 minutes.
