main unit establishes a "zero pressure" equivalent to the air
pressure. Then it starts inflating the wrist cuff to 180mmHg or
higher until it senses that it has blocked your blood in the
artery. After that, the deflation process starts, during which
time the main unit detects pressure oscillations generated
by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine the
systolic, mean and diastolic pressure, and also your pulse
rate. Any motion during this period will result in an incorrect
measurement. After all readings are determined and displayed
on LCD, the measurement is finished and the wrist cuff
automatically deflates.
GETTING STARTED
Installing and replacing the batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Slide off the battery cover (Figure 5a).
2. Install the batteries by matching the correct polarity, as
shown by Figure 5b. Always use the correct battery type
(2 Alkaline LR03 AAA-size).
3. Replace the cover (Figure 5c).

Note: Replace the batteries whenever the weak battery
mark (
not illuminate when the power is on. Replace all the
batteries at the same time – it is dangerous to mix old and
new batteries.
Contact your local waste disposal authority for instructions
on how to dispose of used batteries. Used batteries can
be harmful to the environment, and should not be thrown
out with household trash.
Setting the date, time, and measurement units
It is important to set the clock before using your blood
pressure monitor, so that a time stamp can be assigned to
each record that is stored in the memory.
To set the date, time, and measurement unit:
1. Press and hold SET for 2 seconds to enter the setting
mode.
The setting order is as follows: 12/24 hour format, hour,
minute, month/day or day/month format, month, date,
and measurement unit (mmHg or kPa).
2. Press to increase a value or change the setting.
3. Press SET to accept the change and switch to the next
setting.
4. When you are finished, press ON to exit the setup menu.
