■ Differences in Blood Pressure Values Measured at the Wrist Versus at the Upper Arm For persons with peripheral circulatory disorders* resulting from diabetes, liver or kidney disease, arteriosclerosis or hypertension, etc., there may be variations in blood pressure values measured at the wrist versus at the upper arm. Therefore, always consult with a health professional rather than attempting to interpret blood pressure measurements yourself. * Persons with underlying medical conditions with bad circulation in their hands and feet. Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation 1 Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks. 2. Do not insert foreign objects into any openings. 3. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. 4. Do not crush the pressure cuff. 5. If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0°C (32°F), leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes before using it. Otherwise, the cuff may not inflate properly. 6. Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity or dust. 6
