Set the date and time before using this monitor (see page 11)
See the enclosed Manual for further details and instructions.
1) Resting period – A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the body prior to
taking a reading. No eating, drinking or smoking while resting.
2) Cuff placement – Connect the tube to the unit. Remove any constrictive clothing or
jewelry that may interfere with cuff placement. Wrap the cuff snugly around your left
arm. Position the cuff's bottom edge one inch ABOVE the elbow joint. Position the ( )
cuff symbol over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) as shown.
NOTE: Cuff should fit snugly, yet comfortably. You should be able to insert two
fingers between your arm and cuff.
3) Arm placement – Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing upward and raise your
hand so the cuff is at the same level as your heart. A cuff that is below or above heart level will
create an inaccurate reading.
4) Position the monitor on a flat, stable surface with the display panel in view.
5) Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. This unit will run a self-test. Select the memory bank (1, 2 or 3) to store the reading in by
pressing the MEMORY button. Press POWER to confirm your selection. The cuff will automatically inflate. Do not move and remain
quiet during the process.
6) The cuff will rapidly deflate and your systolic, diastolic and pulse readings will appear on the screen. Your reading will be automatically
stored in memory.
7) Press the POWER button to turn off.
8) Memory feature – Press the MEMORY button to view previously stored readings. Up to 40 measurements can be stored in each bank.
See the enclosed manual for further details about setting the time and date feature, the WHO Indicator and Irregular Heartbeat
Detection.
• Avoid movement – Eating, smoking or talking during the unit's operation will cause errors in readings.
• Avoid continuous readings – A 15 minute rest period is needed between readings. This allows the blood vessels to return to normal.
• 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; therefore, 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 healthcare professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician to achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor.
IMPORTANT!! You can stop the inflation or deflation process
