wrist circumference 5" – 8-1/4" (12.5 – 21 cm)
A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading. No eating, drinking or
smoking while resting.
Applying the Wrist Cuff
1. Be seated at a table or desk
with your feet flat on the floor.
Hold your left arm in front of
you with your palm facing
upward.
2. Apply the preformed cuff to
your left wrist so that the digital
display face is positioned on the
inside area of your wrist facing
you.

CUSTOMER SERVICE HELP LINE FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE AT 1-866-326-1313.
3. Adjust the cuff 1/4" - 1/2" from the edge of the head
of the ulna bone. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet
snugly around your wrist.
Taking the Measurement
1. Rest your elbow on a solid
surface with your palm
facing upward. Elevate
your arm so that the cuff is
at the same level as your
heart. Be certain that cuff
is elevated to the proper
level; you may choose to
support your hand with a
folded towel or book. Relax your left hand.
2. Firmly press the POWER button to turn
the unit on. The display will briefly flash
a test display. Fig. 1
3. The cuff will automatically inflate;
when the measurement is complete and
the cuff deflates, your blood pressure
measurement and pulse will display
simultaneously on the display screen.
Both the systolic and diastolic readings
will display at the same time, Fig 2.
4. Consult the included Instruction Manual
for information on interpreting your
reading results.
5. The results will automatically be stored in
memory up to 90 readings.
6. Select POWER to turn the unit off and
conserve energy and battery life. The
unit will automatically shut-off after
approximately 2 minutes.
Please Note:
• You can stop the inflation or deflation process of the
cuff at any time by pressing the POWER button.
• Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude,
physical activity, anxiety, muscular development,
certain medications or even the time of day can
influence blood pressure.
• Blood pressure varies from moment to moment; even
readings taken after proper rest periods can vary.
Home blood pressure readings may vary as much as
10-20 points from ones taken at your doctor's office.
• Variations in your individual readings should only be
interpreted by your physician or trained health care
professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician
to achieve the maximum benefit from your blood
pressure monitor.
