THIS QUICK START GUIDE IS INTENDED AS A

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" – 8-1/4" (13.5 – 21.5 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
Select the desired user, 1 or 2, before measurement.
The user icon displayed represents the memory bank where the
measurement result will be stored. When the monitor is OFF,
press and release the SET button to toggle between user 1 or 2.
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, Fig 1. 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 START/STOP button to turn
the unit on; the unit will run a self test,
Fig 2.
3. The cuff will automatically inflate to
approximately 190mmhg or 40 mmhg
higher than the last systolic pressure
reading stored in memory.
You will see the numbers increase on
the screen and the heart icon flashing
during measurement.
4. When the measurement is complete,
your blood pressure measurement and
pulse reading results will show on the
display screen at the same time, Fig 3.
5. Consult the included Instruction
Manual for information on
interpreting your reading results
6. The reading will automatically be stored in memory, up to 60
readings.
7. Select START/STOP to turn the unit off and conserve energy
and battery life. The unit will automatically shut-off.
Please Note:
• You can stop the inflation or deflation process of the cuff at
any time by pressing the START/STOP 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.
