Remain still and refrain
from talking; measure-
ment in progress.
Replace all batteries
with new ones.
Check for air leakage;
make sure cuff tube is
properly connected to
monitor and exhaust
rate is in increments of
2 mmHg. to 5 mmHg
Try measurement again
and remain very still.
Make sure cuff tube is
properly connected to
monitor, cuff is securely
fastened and exhaust rate
is between 2 mmHg and

to movement during
reading.
Appears when pressure

START

You must install 4 type AA (1.5 volt) batteries and attach the
cuff to the monitor before using it. To install batteries (or replace
them if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on display), proceed
as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment cover
by gently pushing down on arrow and
sliding cover forward.
2. Put in top row of batteries first. Place
the batteries in compartment with
positive (+) and negative (–) terminals
matching those indicated in the
compartment. Be sure batteries make
contact with compartment terminals.
3. Replace cover by sliding it into
the compartment and gently pressing
into place.
BEFORE YOU START
LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate
and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology
is based on the “oscillometric method” — a noninvasive blood
pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any
measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. The cuff is first
inflated until the artery is fully blocked. Then, the monitor takes
measurements while the cuff deflates. Our monitors examine the
pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and
contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading.
A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than
the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small yields a
measurement that is higher. With your arm hanging at the side
of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm
at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow.
To attach cuff, insert air connector at end of cuff tube into
air socket on left side of monitor. Should you need to change
the cuff size, the preset exhaust velocity rate may have to
be adjusted (see page 11).

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:
☞Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement.
☞Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.
☞Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm
to measure pressure.
Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:
1. Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface
so that the center of your upper arm is at the same
height as your heart.
2. Lay left arm on the table, palm up
and thread cuff end through metal
loop, smooth side against arm. Then
position the tube off-center toward
the inner side of arm in line with
the little finger.
3. Pull the end of the cuff to
tighten it, fold back the extra
material, and fasten the Velcro.
The cuff should be snug but
not too tight. You should be able
to insert two fingers between
the cuff and your arm.
☞IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day.

4. Before taking your blood pressure, you will need to set the
pressure switch to a number that is at least 30 mmHg higher
than your expected systolic pressure. Use the chart below as a
guide. For example, if you believe your blood pressure to be
140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic), set the switch to 180. If you
know it is 120/80, you should set the switch to 150. Don’t
worry if you set the pressure switch too low. The monitor will
automatically re-inflate to the next higher setting if it is unable
to detect the systolic pressure at the current setting.
NOTE: If your systolic reading is greater than 210, please press
and hold the “START” button until the pressure switch reaches
30 mmHg higher than your systolic reading. The maximum cuff
pressure is set at 320 mmHg. If it reaches 320 mmHg, the auto
exhaust will be triggered and cuff pressure will deflate to 0.
If you think you have set the pressure too high, stop the
inflation process by pressing START. Then reset the
switch to the next lower setting.

5.Press the START button, remain still and do not talk as the
cuff automatically inflates to the correct level.
6. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. You will see all
the display symbols appear briefly. As the cuff pressurizes,
blinking numerals—starting at zero—are displayed. When
inflation is complete, the MEASUREMENT IN PROGRESS
symbol blinks and beeps with each pulse beat.
NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press START button.
7. Wait for the long beep indicating the measurement is
complete. The systolic and diastolic pressure readings
and pulse rate are then displayed. The cuff deflates and the
monitor shuts itself off after a few moments, or you can turn it
off by pressing the start button.
8. Remove cuff and make a note of your blood
pressure and pulse rate on the chart (see page
16), indicating date and time of measurement.
