GENERAL REMARKS
7. DO NOT try to measure your blood pressure immediately after drinking coffee or
tea or after smoking.
8. Measure your blood pressure when you are relaxed and still. Keep the center of
the cuff at the level of your heart and DO NOT move your arm or talk.
9. DO NOT measure blood pressure when the cuff has been on your arm for a few
minutes or more. During this time, your arm will have built up a higher blood
pressure and you will not get valid reading.
10. If the Body Movement Indicator or Irregular Heartbeat (IHB)Indicator is
displayed, relax and measure your blood pressure again. If the Irregular
Heartbeat (IHB) Indicator appears frequently, you are advised to consult a
doctor about your health condition. (
See page 19)

Defi nitions and Classifi cations of Blood Pressure Levels
Measure your blood pressure at the same time each day.
* Your blood pressure changes all the time. This means that data gathered over
a long period has far more signifi cance than data from just one measurement.
For this reason, you must measure your blood pressure on a daily basis. Ideally,
you should measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, wherever
possible.
