Avoid exercise, eating, drinking alcohol, smoking and other activities that affect
your blood pressure right before a measurement.
Take your blood pressure at the same time every day.
The ambient temperature should be approximately 20˚C when you take your blood
pressure.
Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured in a hospital,
clinic or doctor's office.
This is because you are tense at the hospital and relaxed at home. It is important to know your stable normal
blood pressure at home.
Let a qualified physician interpret your blood
pressure readings.
Depending on your age, weight and general condition, blood
pressure can be slightly different. Consult with your doctor on
determining what blood pressure is normal for you.

Replace all the batteries when the
battery replacement indication appears
on the display or nothing is displayed.
Use alkaline batteries to increase battery life.
Use of regular Carbon-Zinc batteries will
necessitate more frequent replacement. The
enclosed batteries are for monitoring, and
their life may be shorter than that of
commercial batteries.
