Precaution For Use And Maintenance - Citizen CH-432B Instruction Manual

• Putting on the cuff is one of the most important tasks for
ensuring proper measurement of blood pressure. Wind
the cuff around the arm and tighten it so that one finger
may be inserted between the cuff and arm.
• Do NOT measure blood pressure after bathing or drink-
ing.
• When you feel like relieving yourself, you should do so
before measuring blood pressure.
• Measure blood pressure where the room temperature is
about 20˚C. Do NOT measure blood pressure when it is
too cold (below 10˚C) or too hot (above 40˚C) in the room.

PRECAUTION FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

Precautions for use
• If you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure or
other circulatory disease, please consult your doctor first.
• If you feel abnormal pressure of the cuff during use or
any other irregularity, reduce the pressure by immedi-
ately switching off the power or removing the batteries
and consult the sales outlet where purchased.
• If you think the measured value is abnormal or if measur-
ing makes you feel unwell, discontinue use and consult
your doctor.
• Measurement of blood pressure may not be possible for
someone with a weak pulse or arrhythmia.
• Congestion, swelling, etc. may occur in some people.
• If blood pressure is measured repeatedly, an accurate re-
sult will not be achieved. An interval of about 10 minutes
should be allowed.
• Do NOT measure blood pressure immediately after drink-
ing coffee or tea or smoking.
• Measure blood pressure with a relaxed and quiet pos-
ture. Keep the center of the cuff at the level of your heart,
and do NOT move your arm or talk during measurement.
• Do NOT keep on measuring so many times, as your arm
will have built up congestion of blood, and you will not
get a valid reading.
• The memory is erased if the batteries are removed for
replacement, etc. and a record should be kept of any nec-
essary data.
Precautions for maintenance
• Do NOT store the blood pressure monitor where it will be
exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature (over 60˚C),
low temperature (below –20˚C), high relative humidity
(over 95%) or in a dusty place.
• Do NOT expose the blood pressure monitor to under force
or vibration, or drop it.
• Remove the battery/batteries when not in use for a long pe-
riod.
• Do NOT disassemble the apparatus.
• Do NOT bend the cuff or air hose unnecessarily.
• NEVER wipe the blood pressure monitor with thinner or
benzene, as they may damage it.
