Page 16: Taking A Reading
Taking a Reading Advice: In general, blood pressure measurements are lower on the second attempt because you are calmer. For people who easily get tense, measuring twice each time is advised. When two measurements are taken, normally the smaller measurement is stored. When taking two measurements, always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the first measurement before taking the second measurement. - Page 17 Posture to obtain accurate measurements Stretch your back. Place the main unit in front of you on a table at heart height. Cautions to obtain accurate measurements Sit quietly and relax while taking measurements.

Page 31: Q & A
Q & A Q Why are the blood pressure values measured at home different from those measured at the doctor’s office? Blood pressure varies in a 4-hour period. In addition, it can vary greatly depending on the weather, your mental state, amount of exercise, etc. In particular, there is the phenomenon of “White uniform hypertension” at doctor’s offices, where the blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office is higher because of stress or anxiety. - Page 32 Q & A (continued) Q Since the mark was displayed, I retried the measurement by setting my arm on the unit properly.
