ues are dierent.
If the values between the two arms are significantly dierent, please consult your doctor to deter-

Warning
The unit may only be operated with the original cu. The cu is suitable for an arm circumference

5.2 Adopting the correct posture
•
Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes.
Otherwise deviations can occur.
•
You can take the measurement while sitting or lying. Always make sure that the cu is at heart level.
•
To take your blood pressure, make sure you are sitting comfortably with your arms and back lean-
ing on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
•
To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain still during the measurement and
not to speak.
•
When taking the measurement, please keep the device lying flat (horizontally) on the table.
Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.
