Using the Monitor
1. Installing / changing the batteries
Remove the battery cover and insert new batteries into the battery
compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+) and (-) are observed.
Use only R6P, LR6, AA or similar type batteries.
•Insert the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. If not, the device
will not work.
•When (LOW BATTERY mark) appears in the display, replace all
batteries with new ones at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries.
It may shorten the battery life, or cause the device to malfunction.
• (LOW BATTERY mark) does not appear when the batteries are drained.
•Battery life varies with the ambient temperature and may be shorter at low
temperatures.
•Remove the batteries if the device is not to be used for a long period of time.
The batteries may leak and cause a malfunction.
•Use the specified batteries only. The batteries provided with the device are
for testing monitor performance and may have a shorter life.
2. Connecting the air hose
Insert the air connector plug into the air socket firmly.

ENGLISH 5
Using the Monitor
3. Attaching the arm cuff
Wrap the cuff around the upper arm,about
2-3 cm above the elbow,as shown. Place
the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing
may cause a faint pulse, and result in a
measurement error.
Constriction of the upper arm,caused by
rolling up a shirt sleeve,may prevent
accurate readings.
4. How to take proper measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
• Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table.
• Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
• Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
• Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
• Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath.
Rest twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same timeevery day.
5. Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be
alarmed).
6. After measurement
After measurement, press the POWER button to turn off the power.
Remove the cuff and record your data.
Note
The device has an automatic power shut-off function,which turnsoff the power
automatically three minutesafter measurement.
Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person.

ENGLISH 6
Measurements
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
2. Press the POWER button.
•When the POWER button is pressed, all of the display symbols will
appear for about one second.
•When the " 0 " is flashing, the device is ready for measurement. If the
mark appears, the cuff has some air trapped in it. Press the exhaust
valve button until "0" appears.
3. Pressurize the cuff by squeezing the rubber bulb.
•Inflate the cuff to 30-40 mmHg higher than your normal systolic value.
The figure on the left of the display shows the current pressure as you
inflate the cuff.
•A buzzer sounds when pressure reaches 160, 200, 240 and 280 mmHg.
4. When pressurization is complete, the automatic exhaust mechanism will
gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff and the mark will appear along
with the current pressure reading on the left and exhaust rate on the right.
•The measurement will not be accurate if the exhaust rate is outside of the
2 to 5 mmHg range.
•Remain still during the measurement. When a pulse is detected, the
mark will flash in unison with the pulse of the person being monitored and
the pressure display will switch to the right side. When the measurement
starts, the buzzer will sound at each pulse.

ENGLISH 7
Measurements
5. When the measurement is complete,the buzzer soundsfor about one second.
The systolic pressure is displayed on the left and the diastolic is displayed on the
right. The pulse alternates with the systolic and diastolic displays.
6. Press the exhaust valve button to completely release the air from the cuff.
•When a measurement is made with insufficient pressure, the mark will
appear. Re-pressurize the cuff to a pressure that is about 30 to 40 mmHg
higher than the previous time.
•When a measurement is made with an erratic pulse or in a very noisy
environment, will appear.
7.Turning the power off
Press the POWER button to turn the power off. The device will be instandby mode.
8. Subsequent measurements
If a subsequent measurement is required, turn off the power and turn it on
again. When the "0 " appears, the device is ready for another measurement.
Note
Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person.
9. Automatic power-off function
If the device is left on after a measurement, it will turn off automatically after about
three minutes.It may be turned off at any time by pressing the POWER button.

ENGLISH 8
Measurements
Notes for proper measurement
Sit in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a
table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as
your heart.
•Relax for about five or ten minutes before starting a measurement. If you
are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect
this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and
the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
•An individual’sblood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
•This device bases its measurements on the heart beat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heart beat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
•Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. See the section on the
descriptionsof display symbols for details.
•This blood pressure device is intended for use by adults only. Consult with
your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use
this device unattended.

About Blood Pressure
1. What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.
Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs
when the heart expands.
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's natural
blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured
first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before taking food or drink.
2. What is hypertension and how is it controlled?
Hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure.If left unattended, it can cause
many health problems including stroke and heart attack.
Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress and with
medication under a doctor’s supervision.
To help prevent hypertension or keep it under control:
•Do not smoke.
•Reduce salt and fat intake.
•Maintain proper weight.
•Exercise regularly.
•Have regular physical checkups.
3. Why measure blood pressure at home?
Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension
or fear and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that
measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside
influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's readings and
provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.
