2. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a physician
or a trained health care professional who is familiar with your medical
history.
3. Through regular use of this device and recording of your measurements,
you can keep your physician informed of the changes in your blood
pressure.
4. Perform your measurement in a quiet place. You should be seated in a
relaxed position.
5. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption
or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are

8. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with the
cuff placement.
9. Keep the monitor stable during measurement to achieve an accurate
reading. Remain still; do not talk during the measurement.
10. Record your daily blood pressure and pulse readings on a chart.
11. Take your readings at the same time, each day or as recommended
by your physician to get an accurate indication of change in your true
blood pressure.
12. Wait a minimum of 2~3 minutes between readings to allow for the blood
vessels to return to normal. The wait time may vary depending on your
individual physiological characteristics.
13. Although such cases are rare, for those with an extremely weak pulse or
irregular pulse, errors may result which prevent proper measurement. If
abnormal variations are noticed, consult with your physician or trained

Applying Your Cuff
It is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical
activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If for any reason you are unable to or should
not use your left wrist, please modify the instructions for cuff application to your right wrist.
Your physician can help you identify which wrist is best for you to take measurements from.
Applying Your Cuff
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with cuff placement.
2. Be seated at a table or desk with your feet flat on the floor.
3. Hold your wrist in front of you with your palm facing upward.
9

Applying Your Cuff
4. Apply the preformed cuff to your wrist so that the digital display face is positioned on the
inside area of your wrist facing you.
5. Adjust the cuff 0.5~1 cm from the edge of the head of the ulna bone.
6. The cuff should t comfortably, yet snugly around your wrist.
7. Blood pressure naturally varies from one wrist to the other; therefore, measure your
blood pressure on the same wrist to ensure comparability of the two readings.
10

Taking a blood pressure measurement
Please read the preceding portions of this manual prior to taking your rst reading.
1. You can press “Set” button in standby mode to select User1 or User2 as the default
storage zone.
2. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing upward. Elevate your wrist so
that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Relax your left hand.
3. Press the POWER button. This will turn the power on.
4. While your position is improper, the Positioning symbol and the Positioning indicator
(optional) flash to guide you up or down your wrists, when you are in proper position
the Positioning symbol “OK” flash. After the Positioning symbol flash for 3 times, the
wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically.
5. The Wrist Positioning Guide (optional) can be used as an aid to help an end user
determine if the device is at an appropriate position.
6. The measurement starts automatically once the correct position has been obtained.
Do not move or speak while the measurement is in progress.

Taking a blood pressure measurement
7. The cuff will automatically begin to inflate, with the display showing the increasing
pressure in the cuff. As the pressure increases, an arrow pointing up will appear on the
display.
8. To detect the heartbeat, the heartbeat symbol will appear and continuous flashes on
the LCD display.
9. Your blood pressure measurement and pulse will display simultaneously on the
screen.
10. The Hypertension Indicator will indicate your reading range on the display separately.
11. The reading will automatically be stored in memory. Select POWER to turn the unit off
and conserve energy and battery life. The unit will automatically shut-off approximately
2 minutes.
12

Heartbeat Remind
Your digital blood pressure monitor features an Irregular Heartbeat Detector. Irregular
Heartbeats may influence the results of the measurement. If the monitor detects the
Irregular Heartbeats during measurement, the symbol “”will appear on the display
with the measurement values. You can take another measurement to make sure the values
are not influenced by moving during measurement or Irregular Heartbeat.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an
irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is not a cause for
concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice.
Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect
pulse irregularities at an early stage.
INPORTANT INFORMATION:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias nor for
diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem. As a safeguard, we recommend that if you
have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats and atrial brillation or any
other special conditions you should check with your physician before using your blood
pressure monitor.

This monitor comes equipped with a Hypertension Indicator that automatically compares
each reading to dened levels established by the World Health Organization and provides
a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist
you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help you
understand to the level information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by
your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your range
