• Fasten the cuff with the hook and loop fastener so that
the upper edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm
below the ball of your thumb.
• The cuff must be fitted tightly around the wrist, but must
not constrict.
Important: The unit may only be operated with the origi-
nal cuff.
Adopt the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
Otherwise deviations can occur.
• You can take the measurement while
sitting or lying. To take your blood
pressure, make sure you are sitting
comfortably with your arms and back
leaning on something. Do not cross
your legs. Place your feet flat on the
ground. Make sure to rest your arm and move it. Always
make sure that the cuff is at heart level. Otherwise signifi-
cant deviations can occur. Relax your arm and the palm of
your hand.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to
remain still during the measurement and not to speak.
• Let your hand and wrist relax or form a loose fist. Keep
your hand and wrist in the same position throughout the
measurement process.
