If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly as it can change drastically during this time.
A number of factors can affect the accuracy of
measurements taken on the wrist. In some cases, the
result may differ from the measurement taken on the upper
arm. We therefore advise you to compare these values with
those produced by the upper arm measurement and
discuss them with your doctor.

not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 7
into the cuff socket 3 as far as it will go.

User 2: slide the user switch 9 downwards to the user 2 icon.
