Performing a measurement
Assuming the correct posture
You can perform the measurement while sitting or lying down.
Be absolutely sure to observe the following instructions:
− The cuff must be roughly level with your heart, but no
higher (see Fig. 3).

− Rest your arms in a relaxed position. A chair with armrests
or a table is required for measurements performed while
sitting (see Fig. 4).
4
− Do not move and do not speak while performing a mea-
surement.
If you would like to measure your blood pressure while sitting,
you must also observe these instructions:
− Sit in a relaxed position when measuring your blood pres-
sure and lean back.
− Place your feet flat on the ground.
− Do not cross your legs.
