Health Information
Knowing your blood pressure trend tells whether your body
is in good condition or not. Human blood pressure naturally
increases after reaching middle age. This symptom is a re-
sult of continuous aging of the blood vessel. Further causes
include obesity, lack of exercise, and cholesterol (LDL) ad-
hering to the blood vessels. Rising of blood pressure acceler-
ates hardening of the arteries, and the body becomes more
susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction. The WHO
(world health organization) published the guideline of blood
pressure range:
Optimal
Normal
High – Normal
Grade 1 Hypertension ("mild")
Grade 2 Hypertension ("moderate")
Grade 3 Hypertension ("severe")

PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE
Your monitor comes with batteries already installed. When
replacing, use ONLY 1.5V AAA size alkaline batteries. Please
use alkaline batteries for best performance and longest life.
Low Power Warning
The monitor will remind you when the power is getting low by
displaying two different messages:
uBattery Symbol appears with
your test result. (Fig. 1) This means
it is about time to change the batter-
ies although still 30 more measure-
ments can be made.
vBattery Symbol ashes by it-
self. (Fig. 2) This means you must
change the batteries before making
any measurements.
(Fig 1)
(Fig 2)

PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE
Batteries Installation and Replacement
To replace the batteries, please make sure the monitor is
turned off.
Step1- Please make sure the monitor is
turned off. Press the edge of the
battery cover and push upward.
(Fig. 3)

tor. But you may need to update the set-
tings.
Step2- Remove battery cover. (Fig. 4) And
remove the batteries inside.
Note:
Do not use different type, date or brand
name batteries together. Use only new
batteries of the required size and type.
Step3- Insert two 1.5V AAA size alkaline
batteries. Make sure the + (posi-
tive) and – (negative) marks match
those indicated in the battery com-
partment. (Fig. 5) If inserted cor-

level, and may lead to incorrect treatment.

13
MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
Suggestions before Measuring
Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol, and cigarette at least 30 min-
utes before measurement.
Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before mea-
surement.
Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
Please take a 5-10 minute break between measurements.
Waiting allows the engorged blood vessels to return to nor-
mal status. This break can be longer if necessary, depend-
ing on your physical conditions
Keep the records for your physician as reference.

14
MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
Applying the Wrist Cuff
Step 1- Hold your left arm in front of you
with your palm facing up. Slide the
cuff onto your wrist. Make sure the
monitor is on the inside of your
wrist with the display in easy view.
(Fig. 10)
Step 2- Wrap the cuff comfortably around
your wrist. The top and bottom
edges of the cuff should be tight-
ened evenly around your wrist.
Note:
The top margin of the monitor should be
about 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 cm to 1.3 cm)
below the ball of thumb. (Fig. 11)
Step 3- When the cuff is positioned cor-
rectly, fold the loose end back and
secure it in place by pressing the
pile material rmly against the hook
material. (Fig. 12)
Note:
Blood pressure varies from two hands naturally. Always mea-
sure your blood pressure on the same wrist.
(Fig 10)
(Fig 11)
(Fig 12)

15
MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
Testing Your Blood Pressure
Step 1- Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measur-
ing. Do measurement while sitting:
Step 2- Apply the wrist cuff accord-
ing to page 13.
Step 3- Press the “ ” button and
place your arm in front
of your chest. Relax and
make sure the device is at
the same height as your
heart. Holding your left
elbow with your right hand
helps you hold still during
measurement. Remain still
and do not talk or move
during the measurement.
(Fig 13)
Step 4- After power on, the cuff
automatically inates
and ination symbol “ “
appears. You will see the
number increasing on the
display. (Fig14)
(Fig 13)
(Fig 14)

16
After the cuff pressure is
reached, the cuff begins to
deate. As the cuff deates,
deation symbol “ “ appears
on the display. You will also
see the number decreasing
and Pulse Symbol “ “ ash-
es on the display when pulse
is detected. (Fig 15)
Step5- After completely deation,
the monitor displays the
systolic pressure, diastolic
pressure, and heart rate.
(Fig. 16) Press the “ ” but-
ton to switch off or leave it
for 3 minutes for auto-shut
down.
Note:
It is extremely important that the cuff is at the same level
of the heart. If the wrist is relatively lower (higher) than the
heart, the blood pressure measured will be higher (lower)
than the actual value.
If a higher pressure value is needed, the monitor will stop
deation and inate again.
If you press the “ ” button during the measurement, the
monitor will turn off.
(Fig 16)
(Fig 15 )
