MEASUREMENT

or lying down.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR TAKING A MEASUREMENT:
· Be sure to set the clock before taking your first
measurement, or whenever you replace the batteries,
so that the date and time are stored in the memory
with your history. For instructions, refer to page 6.
· It is important to relax when taking your blood pressure.
Try to take a 15-minute rest before you begin.
· Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while
taking a measurement.
·Avoid talking or moving your fingers and hand while
taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other
activities may alter your reading.
·Wait at least one hour before taking your blood pressure
if you have just eaten a large meal.
· Do not smoke or drink alcohol before taking your blood
pressure.
· Do not measure your blood pressure if you are under
stress.
·Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This
allows your blood circulation to recover.
