For Accurate Measurements
Take measurements while sitting quietly and relaxing.
1. Rest your elbows on a table, etc.
2. Position your arm so that the pressure
cuff is at the same height as your
heart.
3. Position your palm upward, and relax
your hand.
Take measurements using the same upper arm in the same position at
the same time every day.
• Measurement values will vary according to the height of the pressure cuff.
• Take measurements in the morning immediately after you wake up, when
there is no urge to urinate. If this is difficult, take measurements before
breakfast and before you have moved a lot.
Relax and sit in a natural posture when taking measurements.
• Always sit quietly for approximately 4 to 5 minutes before taking
measurements.
• Relax your body, arm, and fingers and do not move their muscles.
• Do not talk while taking measurements.
• During measurement, do not touch the main body or the tube.
CAUTION:
Keep away from cellular telephones and other sources of electromagnetic
radiation. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning.
