Important Testing Guidelines
1. Avoid eating, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes prior to testing.
2. Sit in a calm environment for at least 5 minutes prior to testing.
3. Do not stand while testing. Sit in a relaxed position while keeping your arm level
with your heart.
4. Avoid speaking or moving body parts while testing.
5. While testing, avoid strong electromagnetic interference such as microwave ovens
and cell phones.
6. Wait 3 minutes or longer before re-testing.
7.Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
8.Test comparisons should only be made when monitor is used on the same arm, in
the same position, and at the same time of day.
9.This blood pressure monitor is not recommended for people with severe arrhythmia.
Any blood pressure recording can be affected by the following factors:
1.The position of the subject, his or her physiologic condition;
2.The performance and accuracy of the device;
3. Cuff size: too small cuff (bladder) will produce a higher blood pressure value than
usual, too big cuff (bladder) will produce a lower blood pressure value;
4. Measuring position does not keep level with your heart;
5. Speaking or moving body parts while testing;
6. Not relaxing for about 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
Quick Start
1. Install batteries. (See Figure A )
2. Insert cuff air plug into the left side of monitor unit. (See Figure B)
