feet next to each other flat on the floor.
• A lways make sure that the device is at heart level during the measurement.
Otherwise significant measurement deviations can occur due to physiological
causes. To do so, place your elbow on a table to support your arm. In order
to make the measurement even more comfortable for you, you can place your
lower arm on a suitable object (e.g. the storage box).
• R elax your arm and the palm of your hand.
• T o avoid distorting the measurement, you should remain as still as possible during the measure-
ment and not speak.
