your left wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your left arm, use your right wrist.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.

TAKING A BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
You can choose to take your blood pressure while sitting or lying
down. Below are some helpful tips for taking a measurement:
•
Be sure to set the clock before taking your fi rst
measurement, or whenever you replace the batteries,
so that the date and time are stored in the memory
with your history. For instructions, refer to "Setting date,
time and measurement units" section.
•
It is important to relax when taking your blood pressure.
Try to take a 15-minute rest before you begin.
•
Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while
taking a measurement.
•
Avoid talking or moving your fi ngers and hand while
taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other

Do not measure your blood pressure if you are under stress.

Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This
