IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ø
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly so that you completely understand the operations,
cautions, performance and limitations with this monitor. After reading this manual, please keep it
for future reference.
You should not use this blood pressure monitor for self-diagnosis, self-treatment or to change
medication without consulting your physician or other health care professionals. Should you have
any doubt or questions about your blood pressure measurements, you should consult your physician
or other health care professionals.
This device contains high-precision parts; therefore, avoid exposing it to extreme temperature or
humidity or to direct sunlight, shock and dust. Pharma Supply guarantees the accuracy of this
monitor only when it is stored and used properly.
Do not attempt to calibrate or repair this monitor. If you have any questions regarding the function
or operation of this monitor, please contact our technical support line so we can provide you with
accurate information.
Should the monitor or cuff need cleaning, use a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with water and
a mild detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner or other harsh chemicals to clean the monitor
or cuff.
Remove and replace the batteries if the monitor is not used for more than 6 months. Alkaline AAA
batteries (2) are recommended.
PRECAUTION FOR USE
The Arm Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is designed to be operated by anyone who is eighteen years
and older or by medical professionals to monitor blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate.
BEFORE YOU START
Please make sure you have installed 2 - Alkaline (recommended) AAA (3 volt) batteries. To install
batteries or replace them if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on display, proceed as follows:
Battery Loading
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by gently pushing down on the arrow
and sliding the cover away from the unit.
2. Place batteries with positive “+” and negative “-” terminals into the compartment
and make sure they match the indicated terminals in the compartment.

Note:
★When the LCD display shows a “Low Battery” signal , the
batteries must be replaced for accurate readings.
★Do not use rechargeable batteries (voltage 1.2V). They are not
suitable for this product and will damage the monitor and cause
inaccurate readings.
★Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for 6 months or
longer to avoid damage from the possibility of leaking batteries.
★All the measurements will remain in the memory should the batteries
become drained, removed, or replaced.

TIPS FOR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
★Relax for about 5 minutes before measurement.
★Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to measurement.
★Remove any constricting clothing and place the cuff on a bare arm.
★Keep still and do not talk until the measurement is complete.
★The cuff must be neither too tight nor too loose. Using a little force, you should be able to
place two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT
Correct Posture For Taking Blood Pressure Measurement
★Make yourself comfortable and sit-up straight.
★Place your arm with the cuff in front of you on
the table with your palm facing up.
★Cuff should be at approximately the same height
as your heart.
How To Wrap The Cuff On Your Arm?
★Place the cuff around a bare arm ½” to ¾”’ above the elbow joint. The pressure tube should be oriented to
run down the center of the inside of your arm. (Refer to diagram below on cuff for proper placement.)
★Keep the cuff at approximately the same level as your heart.
★Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use the left arm to measure your pressure.
★The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and
your arm
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Once you are in a comfortable position, press the “ON/OFF” button. The
device will perform a self verification check. During this verification/check
the LCD will display all “8’s”. At the conclusion of the verification/check
the LCD will display “00”. The cuff will then inflate, measure your blood
pressure and then deflate. The results will then be displayed.
PROGRAMMING DATE AND TIME
1. Press the SET button for 5 seconds while the device is turned off, the number of the YEAR will begin
to blink on the LCD display. Press the button to advance the YEAR displayed. When you have
reached the correct year, press the SET button and release. (Do not hold the SET button down during
programming.) When the SET button is pressed and released, the YEAR will stop blinking and the
MONTH will begin to blink. Press and release the button until the desired month is reached.
Repeat this process to set the DAY, HOUR, MINUTES.
NOTE: When the number that you wish to set (i.e. YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE) is blinking,
each time you press and release the button, the number will increase by one. Each time you
depress the button, the number will decrease by one. Time is displayed using a 24 hour clock,
AM/PM are not displayed.
2. After you have set the YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR and MINUTE, press the SET button. The monitor
will turn off.
2-PERSON MEASUREMENT AND RESULTS STORAGE
1. This model has a 2-person memory bank with 90 memories storage
capacity for each person.
2. To set the monitor for Person 1: With the monitor off, press and release the
P1 button. P1 will show in the lower left corner along with the current
Average of Person 1’s last 3 readings as indicated by AVG on the display.
If there are no previous readings for Person 1, NO will appear in the
display. Press the On/Off button and the display will go blank. The monitor
is now set for Person 1.
3. To Set the monitor for Person 2: Follow the above steps pressing and
releasing the “Person 2” button instead of the “Person 1” button.
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT INDICATOR
If an irregular heartbeat is detected, the IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT symbol -will appear and blink
in the display screen.
DISPLAYING THE AVERAGE RESULT AND THE THREE
MOST RECENT RESULTS (AUG)
1. When the monitor is turned off, press and release the P1 or P2 button.
The AUG will show in the upper left corner of the display along with the
average of the most recent results. P1 or P2 will show in the lower left
corner, indicating which person the average is for. If P1 is displayed,
pressing P2 will show the average for person 2, and vice versa.
2. Pressing P1 or P2 again will display the most recent result for that person,
accompanied by the date and time the result was obtained. The lower left
will display alternately the Person (i.e.: P1) and which result is displayed
(i.e.: “01” for the most recent result). Press the Person button again and
the 2nd most recent result will show. Press it again and the 3rd most
recent result will show.
3. Press the Power button to turn the monitor off.
DELETING MEASUREMENT FROM THE MEMORY
Press and hold the P1 or P2 BUTTON until a number is displayed in the bottom right hand corner,
indicating the previous results have all been deleted.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE OPTIONAL ADVOCATE®
POWER SUPPLY OR YOUR OWN USB POWER SUPPLY
In place of batteries, you can power your ADVOCATE® SPBP-04 arm blood pressure monitor (BPM) with
the optional A/C power supply with MICRO USB connector (Figure A). This is an optional product that can
be purchased as a separate item through our website (www.AdvocateMeters.com). Alternately you can
power your arm BPM with a USB power supply with a USB-to-MICRO USB connector (Figure B). With
either option, power your arm BPM by inserting the MICRO USB connector into the MICRO USB slot (port)
on the arm BPM and plugging the power supply into an electrical outlet.
Figure A: Optional A/C power supply Figure B: Any USB power supply with a MICRO USB
with a MICRO USB connection* connection/cable*
* Both the optional AC power supply and the USB power supply are only for powering your arm BPM
– not charging it.
Your arm BPM can be operated in 3 ways: using the optional A/C power supply (Figure A), a standard
USB power supply with a USB-to-MICRO USB cable (Figure B) or with 4 AA batteries.
