• 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

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.
