Notes:
• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate 
results.
• You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time 
each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to 
strain or the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions 
etc., to adjust the height of your arm.
• Arched back (leaning 
forwards)
• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low 
table so that you tend to lean 
forward
