IMPORTANT
•This is not a medical device and is not a substitute for a physician’s care. Individuals with specific health concerns should consult with their physician.
•Be sure to set the clock before taking your first measurement, or whenever you replace the batteries, so that the date and time are stored in the memory with your history.
•Relax when taking your blood pressure. Try to take a 15-minute rest before you begin.
•Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while taking a measurement.
•Avoid talking or moving your fingers and hand while taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other activities may alter your reading.
•Wait at least an hour before taking your blood pressure if you have just eaten a large meal.
•Do not smoke or drink alcohol before taking your blood pressure.
•Do not measure your blood pressure if you are under stress.
•Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood circulation to recover.
•For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same wrist, or as directed by a physician.
