• You should always carry out the measurement when you are
sufficiently physically rested. You should therefore avoid tak-
ing measurements during stressful periods.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure al-
ways to rest for 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in
succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute
between the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
Attaching the cuff
• Fundamentally, blood pressure can be measured on both
arms. Certain deviations between the measured blood pres-
sure on the right arm and left arm are due to physiological
causes and completely normal. You should always perform
the measurement on the arm with the highest blood pressure
values. Before starting self-measurement, consult your doctor
in this regard. From this point on, always take measurements
on the same arm.
• The device may only be operated with one of the following
cuffs. This should be selected in accordance with your upper
arm circumference. The fit should be checked before meas-
urement using the index mark described below.

• Place the cuff onto the bare upper
arm. The circulation of the arm must
not be hindered by tight clothing or

over the artery. The line should point
to the centre of the palm here.
• Guide the end of the cuff that is stick-
ing out through the metal ring, fold it
back over the arm and close the cuff
using the hook-and-loop fastener.
The cuff should be fastened tightly,
but not too tightly, so that two fingers
can still fit under the closed cuff.
