immediately press to turn off the monitor.
• The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic
device. Consult your physician before using if you
have any of the following conditions: advanced
age, common arrhythmias (such as atrial or
ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation),
arteriosclerosis, diabetes, poor perfusion,
pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, or renal diseases.
• Consult your physician before using on an arm
with an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt.
•Do not use the arm cuff on an arm that is injured
or undergoing medical treatment.
•Do not use the arm cuff on an arm that currently
has an intravenous drip or blood transfusion.
•Do not use the monitor at the same time as
other medical electrical (ME) equipment.
Please read and follow all instructions and safety
guidelines in this manual.

Getting to Know Your Blood Pressure Monitor
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.
• 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.
When to Take Blood Pressure

Caution
•Do not measure blood pressure until at least
30 minutes after physical activity. Do not drink
stimulating beverages, such as coffee or alcohol,
or smoke before measurement.
• 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.
• 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.
• Avoid any electromagnetic interference when
taking measurements.
Using the Blood Pressure
Monitor
Note: Before first use, fully charge the blood
pressure monitor (see Charging the Battery,
page 16).
Note: Your upper arm should be bare or wearing
only thin material.
1. Rest in a comfortable area for at least 5 minutes
before measuring to ensure the best results.
2. Plug the cuff into the monitor. Make sure the air
plug is completely inserted to avoid air leaking.
3. Place the cuff on your upper left arm with the
air cable on the inside of your arm. The band
should not be wrapped too tightly (leave space
to insert about 2 fingers) and the lower edge
of the cuff should be about 0.8–1.2 in / 2–3 cm
away from your elbow. [Figure 4.1]
4. Select a user (see page 9).

13
5. Place your arms on a surface so the cuff is at
the same level as your heart. Your arms should
be in a relaxed, natural position.
6. Press to begin measuring. Relax and avoid
moving or talking while measuring. When the
measuring is finished, the results will display.
7. Wait 3 minutes before taking a second
measurement, if necessary.
Using the Blood Pressure Monitor (cont.)
Note:
• Press at any time to stop measuring.
• If the cuff causes any increased discomfort,
immediately press to turn off the monitor.
• Wait at least 3 minutes before measuring
again.
•Only use the air plug to connect or disconnect
the arm cuff. Do not pull on the air hose to
disconnect from the air plug.
• If the monitor cannot read your blood pressure
on your left arm, measure on your right arm.

Charging the Battery
Maintenance
The blood pressure monitor comes with a
rechargeable Li-ion battery inside. Use the included
Type-C USB cable to charge the monitor. will
appear on the screen when the monitor needs to be
charged.
1. Insert the USB charging cable into the USB
charging socket on the monitor.
2. Plug the USB charging cable into a DC 5V
adapter and plug into an outlet. [Figure 5.1]
You can also plug the cable into a powered
USB outlet.
3. The monitor is fully charged when the
indicator turns solid green.
Note:
• Charging may take 3–4 hours.
• Every 2 months (or when battery life is
significantly shorter), fully charge the monitor
and then allow the battery to drain until the
monitor shuts off. This will optimize battery
performance.
• Battery life depends on the frequency and
time of use. If battery life is unusually reduced,
contact Customer Support (see page 30).
•Only use a Type-C USB charging cable to
charge the monitor.
•Do not use the monitor while charging.
• In extreme conditions, the battery may leak
corrosive fluid. If this comes into contact with
eyes or skin, rinse immediately with water and
seek medical attention.
Figure 5.1

Optimizing Battery Performance Storage
Cleaning the Monitor
For best results allow the monitor to go through 2
full charge and use cycles.
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Use the monitor and allow the battery to
drain until the monitor shuts off.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 a second time.
1. Turn the monitor off and disconnect the arm
cuff.
2. Wipe gently with a damp cloth and wipe dry
immediately.
Note:
•Do not use chemicals or detergents to
clean the monitor.
•Do not let water get into the monitor.
• Turn the monitor off and unplug the air plug
from the air port.
• Place the cuff and the machine in the storage
bag.
Note: Do not roll or fold the air hose or cuff too
tightly.
•Do not store in wet, damp, or humid places.
•Do not store in any place that is tilted, vibrates,
or can damage the monitor.
•Do not store near chemicals or corrosive gases.
• Keep away from heat sources and direct
sunlight.
•Do not store in places that can be easily
reached by children.
•Do not leave the monitor exposed to any
chemical solvent, lint, or dust.
• When not in use for a long period of time,
recharge the battery monthly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my blood pressure readings different?
• The area you are in as well as your mental and
physical state both factor into your readings.
Your readings may come out lower when you
are at home and at peace as compared to when
you are at the hospital and feeling nervous.
• If the cuff position is higher or lower than
the heart, the blood pressure reading may be
inaccurate. Make sure the cuff is 0.8–1.2 in /
2–3 cm away from your elbow.
• The cuff may be too loose, causing the blood
pressure reading to be too high. Tighten the
cuff on your arm.
• Your sitting posture, such as bending over
or sitting cross-legged, can raise your blood
pressure. Sit in a chair with your arms elevated
on a table (see Before Measurement,
page 11).
Why are the blood pressure readings different
every time I measure?
• Your blood pressure will vary throughout the
day, even if it is measured every 10 seconds. It
will fluctuate for a variety of reasons. Eating,
drinking, smoking, bathing, and even your
mood can all affect your blood pressure.
Why does my arm ache or feel numb after taking
my blood pressure?
• The cuff will inflate to compress your arm to
briefly stop the flow of blood. This may cause
temporary numbness and discomfort. Once the
cuff is removed, allow your arm to rest.
Why is the cuff not inflating?
• Air may be leaking. Check to make sure the air
plug is inserted in the air port and the air hose
does not have holes or punctures.
If your problem is not listed, please contact Customer Support (see page 30).
