•
Clear the wrist from all clothing or watches/jewellery since
this may disturb the blood flow in the arm as it may impair
the blood pressure at the place of measurement.
•
Slide the device onto the centre of the
inside of the forearm, directly on the
wrist. The palm of your hand should be
facing upwards. The distance between
the wrist and the upper edge of the cuff
should be 5–10 mm.
•
Fasten the cuff using the hook and loop fastening.
The shape of the cuff is optimized to sit very tightly in order to
avoid possible measurement errors.
8. Body position during the measurement
The measurements should be performed while seated. In special
cases, measurements in a lying position are also possible.
Measurements while seated
Sit at a dining table, lean your back against
the backrest of the chair and bend your arm
so that your arm is exactly at heart level.
Place your feet on the ground and do not
cross your legs.
Measurements while lying down
Lay on your back, place the device on your
wrist and at the height of your heart, e.g. by
supporting it with a pillow. To relax before
the measurement, take 2-3 deep breaths.

Operating the device
Operating the device
Please pay attention to the following:
•
Do not bend your wrist.
•
Keep your hand relaxed, not tightened, do not make a fist.
•
It is important to keep your arm calm and not to speak during
the measurement.
If the cuff is in a higher or lower position than the heart, the
measured value might be higher or lower, respectively.
The results for measurements taken in a sitting and lying position
may differ slightly.
9. Selecting the user
The device is designed for two users. The values for the two users
are stored separately and can also be evaluated separately.
You may also use the two user memories to evaluate measure-
ments taken in morning and those taken in the evening separate-
ly. To do this, carry out the measurement in the morning using
user 1 and in the evening using user 2.
•
Before taking the measurement, check that the correct user
is displayed.
•
To change the user, press the user button for whose memory
bank you want to switch over to.
•
Now carry out the measurement.
Also, you will be given another opportunity to assign the meas-
urement to the correct user after the measurement has been
taken (see page 49).
