various mobile phone manufacturers. Unfortunately, in some mobile
phone models, even with Bluetooth functionality, they may be compatible
only with certain types of devices. If a problem occurs in the connection
between your mobile phone and the meter, or if you are uncertain
regarding your mobile phoneʼs Bluetooth capabilities, please consult
your mobile phone manual or contact your local customer service for
assistance.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
PERFORMING A BLOOD PRESSURE
TEST
Before Measurement
●Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes before
measurement.
●Wait for 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before measurement.
●Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.
●Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
●Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements. This break can be
longer if necessary, depending on your physical condition
●Keep the records for your doctor as reference.
●Blood pressure naturally varies between each arm. Always measure
your blood pressure on the same arm.
Apply the Cuff Properly
1. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your palm facing up.
Slide and place the cuff onto your arm, the arrow should point toward the
upper arm.
2. Wrap and tighten the cuff above your elbow. The red line on the edge
of the cuff should be approximately 0.8” to 1.2” (2 cm to 3 cm) above
your elbow.

15
3. Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff; you should be
able to fit two fingers between them. Clothing must not restrict the arm.
Remove all clothing covering or constricting the measurement arm.
4. Press the hook material firmly against the pile material. The top and
bottom edges of the cuff should be tightened evenly around your upper
arm.
NOTE:
The cuff is fixed on the blood pressure monitor. Do NOT remove the cuff or
change the size of cuff.

16
WARNING:
If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the obtained blood pressure
value could be higher (lower) than the actual value. A 15 cm difference in height
may result in an error around 10 mmHg.
Proper Measurement Position
1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Place your elbow on a flat surface. Relax your hand with the palm
facing up.
3. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of your
heart.
4. Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.

17
2. Pump starts to inflate. The pressure in
cuff increases to working pressure.
3. The heart symbol “”will show
silently when pulse is detected during
the measurement. When signal of pulse
becomes strong, “”icon starts to
flash.
1. Tap ON/OFF Button. All the LCD
symbols will appear with a long “beeping”
sound. Then the cuff will begin to inflate
automatically.
NOTE:
When the device detects irregular heart beat, the IRB symbol is shown as “”.
This is for your reference only; if the problem still persists or if you feel
uncomfortable, please consult your doctor.
