per group.) Press " + " o r " - " button to choose a groupsetting.Testresultswill
automatically store in each selected group.
2. Time/Date Setting
Press "SET" buttonagain tosetthe Time/Datemode. Setthe month first by adjusting the

Testing
!. Power On
Press and hold " ON/OFF " button until a beepsounds. TheLCD screenwillappear forone
second as unit performs a quick diagnosis. A longtone indicates device is ready for
testing.
Note: Unit will not function if residual air from previous testing is present in cuff.
The LCD willflash " ^ " until pressure is stabilized.

2. Pressurization
Initial pressure is first pumped to 190 mmHg. Ifthe currentuser'ssystolicbloodpressure
is over 190mmHg, the unit w i l l automaticallyre-inflate t othe propershelf.
Note: Pressurizationwillgraduallysubside and ultimatelystopwhencuff isnot

5. Deleting/Storing Test Results
User may delete theircurrenttest result dueto unfavorable testing conditions o rforany
other reason. To delete the last test result, press the "SET"button after result i s displayed.
If result isnot deleted, it w i l l automatically store by date within the previously configured
Memory Group.
Note: Be sure the appropriateMemoryGroupselection is madeprior to testing.
MemoryCheck
With poweroff, youmay checkpasttestresults by using the " + " or " - " buttons. The
* mostrecentt est result canbe viewed b y pressing and holding t h e " + " button. The
oldest test result in memory ca nbe viewed by pressing a n d holding the " - " button.
Upon activating testresults, y o ucan press the " + " or " - " buttons to scroll through all
* test results stored in memory.
If the number of tests surpasses the allotted 30 memories per group, the mostrecenttests
will appear first, thus eliminating the oldest readings.
Power Off
Press " ON/OFF " button inany mode to turn off device.Unitautomaticallyturns off
after 3 minutes of inactivity.
SafetyPrecaution: If pressure in arm cuffbecomes too extremewhile testing,
press the " ON/OFF " button to turnpoweroff. The cuff pressure will rapidly
dissipate once the unit is off.
Note: Previoustestresultswillonly be displayed from the mostrecentlyusedmemory
group. To checkprevious test results in other memory groups, you must first select
the desired group and thenturnmonitoroff.

Blood Pressure
Blood pressure isthe force of blood pushingagainst the walls of arteries, It is typically
measured in millimeters o f mercury (mmHg.) Systolicbloodpressure isthe maximum
force exertedagainstbloodvesselwallseachtime the heartbeats. Diastolicblood
pressure isthe force exerted on blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats.
An individual's bloodpressure frequently changes throughout the course ofa day.
Excitement and tension c a n causebloodpressure to rise, while drinkingalcohol and
bathing can lowerbloodpressure. Certainhormoneslikeadrenaline (whichyour
body releases under stress) can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading toa rise in
blood pressure.
If these measuringnumbers become too high, it means the heart is working harder
than it should.
Upper curve: systolic blood pressure
Lower curve: diastolic blood pressure
Time of day
Example: fluctuation within a day (male, 35 yearsold)

Q A
HealthReminder
Hypertension isa dangerous disease that can affect the quality of life. It can lead
to a lotof problemsincludingheartfailure,kidneyfailure, and cerebral hemorrhaging.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visitingy o u rphysician o na regularbasis,
hypertension and relativediseases are mucheasier to controlwhendiagnosed in their
early stages.
Systolic

80 8590 110
Diastolic
(mmHg)
Note: Donotbe alarmed ifan abnormal reading occurs. A better indication ofan individual's
blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken atthe same time each day over an
extended period of time. Consult your physican if test results remain abnormal.
Q; What isthe difference betweenmeasuringbloodpressure at home orata professional
healthcareclinic?
A! Bloodpressure readingstaken at home arenow seen to give a more accurateaccount a s
they betterreflectyour daily life. Readings c a nbe elevatedwhentaken ina clinical o r
medical environment.This is known as WhiteCoatHypertension andmaybe caused by
feeling anxious or nervous.
Note: Abnormaltest results maybe caused by:
1. Impropercuff placement
Make sure cuff is snug-not too tight ortoo loose.
Make sure bottom ofthe cuff is approximately l-2cm (1/2") above the elbow
joint.
2. Improper body position
Make sure to keep your body inan upright position.
3. Feeling anxious or nervous
Take 2-3 deepbreaths,wait a few minutes and resume testing.
Q ! Whatcauses different readings?
AI Bloodpressurevariesthroughout the course ofa day.Manyfactorsincludingdiet,
stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect an individual's blood pressure.
Q: Should I apply the cuff to the left or right arm? What isthe difference?
A! Either armca nbe usedwhentesting,however, whencomparingresults, the same arm
should be used. Testing on your left armmay providemoreaccurateresults asitis
located closer to your heart.
QI What isthe besttime ofdayfor testing?
A: Morningtime orany time you feelrelaxed and stress free.
