Hints on taking blood pressure readings
705CP-II English
•Before measuring, stretch your back and sit up straight, breath normally
•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 E 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.
