Notes For Proper Measurement

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.

Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.

An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.

This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your blood pressure.

Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the measurement and display an error symbol. See page 4 for the description of symbols.

This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use this device unattended.
