Helpful Tips
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after eating a large meal. To obtain more
accurate readings, wait at least one hour before measuring your blood pressure.
• Do not smoke or consume alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
• Do not measure your blood pressure when you are physically tired.
• It is important to relax during measurement. Try to rest for 15 minutes before measuring
your blood pressure.
• Do not measure your blood pressure if you are tense or under stress.
• Measure your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling hot or cold, wait
a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), put it in a warm place for at
least an hour before use.
• Leave at least 5 minutes between each measurement.
