Getting to Know Your Blood
Pressure Monitor
The Etekcity Smart Blood Pressure Monitor is
a digital monitor intended for use in measuring
blood pressure and heartbeat rate with an arm
circumference of 8.75–16.5 in / 22–42 cm.
Blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric
method of measuring blood pressure. Before every
measurement, the monitor establishes a “zero
pressure” equivalent to the atmospheric pressure.
It then starts inflating the arm cuff while detecting
pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat
pulsations, which is used to determine the patient’s
systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate.

Measuring Blood Pressure
When to Take Blood Pressure Before Measurement
• 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 by as much as 20–40 mmHg.
• Follow any directions given by your physician
regarding how and when to measure your blood
pressure.
• If the monitor is being used by multiple people,
wash hands before each measurement.
• Remove any clothing that fits closely to your
upper arm.
• Your blood pressure should be measured sitting
down. Take note if your blood pressure is taken
in a different position.
• Take measurements on the same arm (normally
left) every time unless necessary.
• Avoid any electromagnetic interference when
taking measurements.
• If the arm artery lies considerably lower or
higher than the heart, the measurement may be
incorrect.
• Only use the included cuff.
• A loose or improperly fitted cuff will result in
incorrect measurements.
Caution:
• Do not measure blood pressure until at least
30 minutes after physical activity. Do not
smoke or drink stimulating beverages, such as
coffee or alcohol, before measurement.
• 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 while
taking measurements.
Data Transmission
• To enable the data transmission function, this
product should be paired with the VeSync app.
• To decrease possible interference:
- Your monitor and your phone should be
reasonably close, within 3–32 ft / 1–10 m.
- Ensure no obstacles are between your
monitor and your phone to allow for quality
connection and to lower the RF output range.
• To avoid interference, other electronic devices
(particularly those with wireless transmission)
should be kept at least 3 ft / 1 m away from the
monitor.

minutes before measuring to ensure the best
results.
2. Plug the air plug into the air port. Make sure
the air plug is completely inserted to avoid air
leaking.
3. Place the cuff on your upper left arm with the
air hose 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 2.1]
4. Select a user (see page 23).
5. Place your arms on a surface and sit with your
feet flat on the floor so that the cuff is at the
same level as your heart. Your arms should be
in a relaxed, natural position. [Figure 2.2]
Note: Your upper arm should be bare or wearing
only thin material.

About Blood Pressure
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of
the heart, the blood pressure reaches its maximum
value in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure.
When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure
reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is
called diastolic pressure.
This chart shows the standard blood pressure
classification published by American Heart
Association (AHA).
What are systolic pressure and diastolic
pressure?
What is the standard blood pressure
classification?
• Put in a dry place and avoid sunshine.
• Avoid exposing to water. Clean with a dry cloth.
• Use a damp cloth to clean if necessary.
• Avoid intense shaking or collisions, or dropping
the monitor.
• Avoid dusty environments, and avoid
environments with unstable temperatures.
• Do not clean the cuff or monitor with water.

Irregular Heartbeat Detector
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate
throughout the day?
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a
heartbeat rhythm varies while the monitor is
measuring systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
During each measurement, the monitor will keep
a record of all the pulse intervals and calculate
their average value. If there are two or more pulse
intervals and the difference between each interval
and the average is more than ±25%, or if there
are four or more pulse intervals and the difference
between each interval and the average is more
than ±15%, then the irregular heartbeat symbol will
appear on the display with the measurement result.
• Individual blood pressure varies throughout the
day. It is also affected by the way you tie your
cuff and your measurement position, so please
take measurements under the same conditions
each time.
• If you take medicine, your blood pressure will
vary more.
• Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements.
Caution:
• The appearance of the irregular heartbeat
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 this monitor
does not replace a cardiac examination,
but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an
early stage.

Why do I get a different blood pressure at
home compared to the hospital?
Is the result the same if measuring on the
right arm?
What you need to pay attention to when you
measure your blood pressure at home:
Your blood pressure is different throughout the day
due to weather, emotion, exercise, etc. Also, you
may have a different blood pressure in a hospital
due to the “white coat” effect, which means blood
pressure usually increases in clinical settings.
Measuring on either arm is acceptable. However,
results may differ for some people. We recommend
measuring on the same arm each time.
If your problem is not listed, please contact
Customer Support (see page 56).
• If the cuff is tied properly
• If the cuff is too tight or too loose
• If the cuff is tied on the upper arm
• If you feel anxious
• Taking 2–3 deep breaths before beginning will
be better for measuring
• Relax for 4–5 minutes to help your calmness
