TAKING A BLOOD PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT
You can choose to take your blood pressure while sitting 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.
·For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar
conditions. For example, take daily measurements at
approximately the same time, on the same wrist, or as directed
by a physician.
·To stop the measurement process at any time, press the ON
button.
·The main unit automatically switches off 1 minute after taking
a measurement. To save the battery life, press
the ON button as soon as you are finished.
To take a measurement:
1. Choose the position you from which you wish to measure
– sitting or lying down.
2. Position your body so that your wrist is parallel with your
heart, using the chart and illustrations below as a guide.
