6. Taking a Measurement

1.
Press the button to turn the unit on.
The unit displays a reminder that self-measurement
is not the same as medical diagnosis and then the
guidance screens are displayed. (The guidance
screens are displayed twice.)
Note: You can press the START button to begin a
measurement even while the guidance
screens are being displayed.
2.
Make sure that you are in a relaxed position.
The ideal posture is one where you are seated comfortably with your back straight.
Note: You can also take a measurement while you are standing or while lying
down.
3.
Place your finger so that it fits closely over the two
finger electrodes.
Notes:
• Even if you are left-handed, use your right hand to
take a measurement.
• Take care not to press the START button until you
are ready to take the measurement.
