Getting to Know Your
Blood Pressure Monitor Information on Blood Pressure
Blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of
measuring blood pressure. The monitor can detect the
blood’s movement through the brachial artery and convert
it into a digital reading. The monitor is easy and simple to
use and does not require a stethoscope.
This monitor has many useful features such as a speaking
function with volume adjustment, 2 users that can save 120
measurements each, a cuff
self-check indicator, average value indicator, irregular
heartbeat indicator, WHO indicator, and external power
socket support.
Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory
center of your brain and adjusts to a variety of situations
through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust
blood pressure, the strength and speed of your heart (your
pulse) and the width of your circulatory blood vessels are
altered. Blood vessel width is controlled by fine muscles in
the blood vessel walls. Your level of arterial blood pressure
changes periodically during heart activity. During “blood
ejection” from the heart (systole), pressure is highest
(systolic blood pressure value / SYS). At the end of the
heart’s “rest period” (diastole), pressure is lowest (diastolic
blood pressure value / DIA). Blood pressure values must lie
within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular
diseases.

There are 6 WHO (World Health Organization) Indicator levels that can be displayed on the monitor and represent different
blood pressure values and classifications.
Blood Pressure Value WHO Indicator Level WHO Classification
DIA <80 & SYS <120 1 Optimal blood pressure
DIA <85 & SYS <130 2 Normal blood pressure
DIA <90 & SYS <140 3 High normal value

DIA <110 & SYS <180 5 Moderate hypertension
DIA >=110 or SYS >=180 6 Severe hypertension

EN
Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is
above 90 mmHg and/or your systolic blood pressure is
over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this case, please consult
your physician immediately. Long-term values at this level
endanger your health due to continual damage to the blood
vessels in your body.
If you have blood pressure values that are too high, (such
as systolic values between 140 mmHg and 159 mmHg and/
or under diastolic blood pressure values between 90 mmHg
and 99mmHg), consult your physician.
If you have blood pressure values that are too low, (such
as systolic values under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values
under 60 mmHg), consult your physician.
Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-
check with your blood pressure monitor is recommended.
You can detect possible changes in your values early
and react appropriately. If you are undergoing medical
treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record of
values along with time of day and date. Show these values
to your physician.
Caution: Never use the results of your measurements
to independently alter the drug doses prescribed by your
physician.
Note:
• If your values are mostly normal under resting
conditions but exceptionally high under conditions of
physical or psychological stress, you may be suffering
from “labile hypertension”. Consult your physician.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure value
above 120mmHg require immediate medical treatment.

16
EN
More Information on Blood Pressure Values
• Increased blood pressure values (various forms of
hypertension) are associated with considerable health
risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are
endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in
the vessel walls (arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of
blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can
result from arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, the heart
will become structurally damaged with increased blood
pressure values.
• There are many different causes of high blood pressure.
We differentiate between the common primary
(essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension.
The latter group can be ascribed to specific organ
malfunctions. Please consult your physician for
information about the possible origins of your own
increased blood pressure values.
• There are measures which you can take to reduce
and even prevent high blood pressure. Consult your
physician.

Batteries and Power Cable Instructions
Batteries
When to Take Blood Pressure
Micro USB Power Cable
1. Make sure the power cable is not damaged.
2. Plug the cable into the power socket on the right side of
the blood pressure monitor.
3. Plug the USB into a 5V powered USB port.
Using the
Blood Pressure Monitor
Unwrap and insert the 4 included 1.5V AAA batteries into
the monitor.
You may also use the monitor with the 5V micro USB power
cable. Only use an approved micro USB power cable to
avoid damaging the monitor.
Note: To replace batteries, see page 25.
Note:
• No battery power is consumed while the micro USB
power cable is plugged in.
• If electrical power is interrupted (such as by
accidentally unplugging the monitor from the power
socket), the monitor must be reset by removing the
power cable from the power socket on the monitor and
reinserting it.
• The best times to take your blood pressure are within 1
hour of waking in the morning or 1 hour before bedtime.
• When measuring in the morning, measure after
urinating and before eating breakfast.
• Always measure your blood pressure before taking
blood pressure medication.
• If you need to measure your blood pressure at another
time of day, make sure you are calm and stable before
measuring.
• Measure your blood pressure at the same time every
day. Blood pressure changes during the course of the
day, as much as 20–40 mmHg.

19
EN
Before Measurement
• If the monitor is being used by multiple people, wash
hands before each measurement.
• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your
arms on the table so the cuff is level with your heart.
[Figure 1.1]
• Remove any clothing that fits closely to your upper
arm.
• Sit for at least 5 minutes in a comfortable, secure
environment before measurement.
• Your blood pressure should be measured sitting down.
Take note if your blood pressure is taken in a different
position.
• Take measurements on both arms the first time you
use the monitor to make sure it is calibrated and both
readings are similar.
• Take measurements on the same arm (normally left).
• Avoid any electromagnetic interference when taking
measurements.
• Avoid flexing arm muscles or trying to support your
arm, as this can increase blood pressure. Use a cushion
for support if necessary.
• If the arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than
the heart, the measurement may be incorrect. Each
25–30 cm difference in height between your heart and
the cuff results in a measurement error of 10 mmHg.
• Only use the included cuff.
• A loose or improperly fitted cuff will result in incorrect
measurements.
Figure 1.1

EN
Blood Pressure Measurement Instructions
• Do not measure blood pressure for at least 30
minutes after physical activity. Do not smoke or
drink stimulating beverages, such as coffee or
alcohol, before measuring.
• Blood pressure should be measured at intervals
of no less than 3 minutes, depending on your
physical condition.
• People with arrhythmia and/or arteriosclerosis
should be measured by medical staff for a
professional diagnosis.
• Avoid pressing the cuff to your body when taking
measurements.
!
CAUTION
1. Measure your arm circumference using a measuring tape
in the middle of your relaxed upper arm.
2. Plug the air plug on the cuff into the air port on the
monitor. Make sure the air plug is completely inserted to
avoid air leaking, but avoid forcing the plug into the port.
3. Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm with the air
cable on the inside of your arm. The rubber tube should
be on the inside of your arm extending downward to
your hand. The lower edge of the cuff should be placed
about 2–3 cm / 0.8–1.2 in above the elbow. [Figure 1.2]
The on the edge of the cuff must lie over the artery
which runs down the inner side of the arm.
4. Secure the cuff by wrapping it around your arm and
pressing the hook-and-loop fastener together. The band
should not be wrapped too tightly (leave space to insert
about 2 fingers).
5. Select a user (see page 16). Make sure the air hose
is not kinked.
6. Rest in a comfortable area for at least 5 minutes before
measuring to ensure the best results.
