THIS QUICK START GUIDE IS INTENDED AS
A SUPPLEMENT TO THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL. PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE
MANUAL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure your
wrist is within the appropriate range: wrist circumference
5-1/2" – 7-5/8" (14-19.5 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.
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. Press the ST RT button to turn
the unit on; the unit will run a self-
test, Fig 1.
3. The cuff will automatically inflate
to approximately 190mmHg or
40 mmHg higher than the last
systolic pressure reading stored in
memory.
4. When the measurement is
complete, your blood pressure
measurement and pulse will
display separately on the screen
alternating repeatedly every 2-3
seconds, Fig 2. The systolic and
diastolic readings will display at
the same time.
5. Consult the included Instruction
Manual for information on
interpreting your reading results.
6. The results will automatically be
stored in memory up to 60
readings.
7. Select ST RT to turn the unit off
and conserve energy and battery
life. The unit will automatically
shut-off and revert to time/date
mode after approximately 1
minute.
Please Note:
• You can stop the inflation or deflation process of
the cuff at any time by pressing the ST RT 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
MEM
pressure monitor.
