4.2 Prior to initial use:
Pay attention to the following points in order to obtain precise measurements:
• The electrodes must be positioned directly against the skin.
• If your skin or hands are dry, moisten them using a damp cloth before taking the measurement.
• If the electrodes are dirty, remove the dirt using a soft cloth or cotton bud dampened with
disinfectant alcohol.
• During the measurement, do not touch your body with the hand with which you are taking
the measurement.
• Please note that there must be no skin contact between your right and left hand (measure-
ment method C) or hand and chest (measurement methods A/B). Otherwise, the measure-
ment cannot be taken correctly.
• Stay still during the measurement, do not speak and hold the device still. Movements of any
kind will falsify the measurements.
• If possible, take the measurement when sitting or lying down and not when standing.
5. taking measurements
1 . Three different methods of taking the measurement are available. Start with measure-
ment method A, “right index finger–chest”. If this method does not deliver measure-
ments, or delivers only unstable measurements (“EE” is frequently displayed), switch to
method B “left index finger–chest” and, if necessary, to method C “left hand–right hand”.
