Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people
who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers
stay above the “normal” range most of the time, you may be
at increased risk and should consult your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure
readings fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with
a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each
reading to the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if
your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. For more information, refer to the
RISK CATEGORY INDEX section of this manual.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only
intended to assist you in using this table. The table and
cues are only provided for convenience to help you under-
stand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates
to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medi-
cal examination by your physician. It is important for you to
consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell
you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point
at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery
walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure
measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of
the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure
measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back
into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those associated
with high blood pressure are very common. High blood
pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular dis-
eases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for
identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on the next page contains defined levels for
hypertension that are publicly available from the National
Heart Lung and Blood Institute at the U.S. National Institutes
of Health (NIH) (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/
Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings
against these defined levels to determine if they may be
potentially at increased risk.
This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.
Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Normal Less than 120 and Less than 80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
High Blood Pressure
Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99
Stage 2 160 or higher or 100 or higher

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your
blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level
for each individual. With one touch of a button, the cuff
will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through
your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Please note
that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will
cause measurement error. When measurement is com-
plete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, dia-
stolic pressure, and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement
results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood
Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased
risk. Please refer to page 20 for more information on this
feature.
The appearance of the
PM
icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was
detected during measurement. Refer to page 21 for more
information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will automati-
cally inflate the cuff to begin measurement. The cuff will
then start deflating as measurement continues.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition
and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour
after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages
with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood
pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit
quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during
a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should
not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a
measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm
or hand muscles.
• See page 24 for additional notes regarding your blood
pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.
OR

19 20
Note:
This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system
detects that your body requires more pressure for
measurement.
4. When the measurement is completed,
the cuff will deflate entirely. Systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse
will be shown simultaneously on the
LCD screen. The measurement is then
automatically stored into memory.
Note:
• This monitor automatically turns off approximately 1
minute after last operation. You may also press the
START/STOP button to turn the unit off.
• To interrupt the measurement, you may press the START/
STOP (recommended), MEMORY, USER-SELECT or
DATE/TIME SET ( ) buttons. The cuff will deflate
immediately after a button is pressed.
RISK CATEGORY INDEX
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index
that automatically compares each reading to defined levels
established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH)
National Heart Lung and Blood Institute as described earlier
in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your reading
falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls in the
normal range as defined by NIH. Please note that cues
provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you
in using this table. The table and cues are only provided
for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive
blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information.
They are not a substitute for a medical examination by
your physician. It is important for you to consult with your
physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal
blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may
actually be considered to be at risk.

RECALLING VALUES FROM MEMORY
This monitor can be used by two individuals. Each user
can store up to 60 measurements.
1. Press the USER-SELECT button to select User 1 or
User 2.
2. Press the MEMORY button to access the memory.
3. The monitor will first display the calculated average
applied to the last 3 memories.
4. Every new press of the MEMORY button will recall a
previous reading. The latest reading will be recalled first.
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)
The appearance of the
PM
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 the
device does not replace a cardiac
examination, but serves to detect
pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Movement, shaking or talking during the measurement can result
in pulse irregularities that may cause the appearance of this icon.
Therefore, it is of great importance to not move or talk during
measurement.
To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average
of the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal
effective heartbeat values. It is important to note that the average
is not a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals.
At least 3 beats with 25% or greater difference from the average
heartbeat interval will generate the
PM
icon on the screen.
Important Information:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias
nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem. As a safeguard, we
recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you should check with
your physician before using your blood pressure monitor.

AVISOS IMPORTANTES DEL PRODUCTO
E INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
Cuando utilice el monitor de presión arterial, debe respetar siempre
las precauciones básicas. Lea y siga todas las instrucciones
y advertencias antes de utilizar este producto. Guarde estas
instrucciones para referencia futura.
• Tenga en cuenta que este producto de cuidado de la salud es
solamente para uso doméstico y por lo tanto no está diseñado
para servir como sustituto de los consejos de un médico ni
profesional médico.
• Este dispositivo utiliza el método oscilométrico para medir la
presión arterial sistólica y diastólica, y la frecuencia cardíaca.
• No utilice este dispositivo para el diagnóstico o tratamiento de
ningún problema de salud o enfermedad. Los resultados de
medición son de referencia únicamente. Consulte a un profesional
de la salud para conocer la interpretación de las mediciones de
la presión. Comuníquese con su médico si tiene algún problema
médico o sospecha que lo tiene. No cambie sus medicinas sin el
consejo de su médico o profesional de la salud.
• El tamaño adecuado del brazalete es fundamental para obtener
mediciones precisas. Para asegurarse de que usa el tamaño
correcto del brazalete, siga las instrucciones de este manual y las
que están impresas en el brazalete.
• Este producto no es adecuado para personas con arritmia. Este
dispositivo puede tener dificultad para determinar la presión
arterial correcta en mujeres embarazadas y en usuarios con
latidos cardíacos irregulares, diabetes, mala circulación, trastornos
renales o usuarios que han sufrido un accidente cerebrovascular.
• La pantalla de pulso no es adecuada para verificar la frecuencia
de marcapasos.
• Interferencia electromagnética: el dispositivo contiene
componentes electrónicos sensibles. Evite los campos eléctricos
o electromagnéticos fuertes cercanos al dispositivo (por ejemplo,
teléfonos celulares, hornos de microondas), ya que pueden causar
problemas temporales para medir con precisión.
• Utilice el monitor de presión arterial únicamente para el uso para
el cual fue diseñado.
• No use el brazalete en otra parte del cuerpo que no sea el brazo.
• Este producto no es apto para ser usado por personas menores de 18 años.
• No enchufe ni desenchufe el cable de corriente del adaptador
con las manos mojadas.
• No utilice este dispositivo en bebés, niños o personas que no
puedan expresar su voluntad.
• Tenga en cuenta la compatibilidad electromagnética del
dispositivo (por ejemplo, problemas de suministro eléctrico,
interferencia de radiofrecuencia, etc.). Utilice este dispositivo
solamente en interiores.
• El uso excesivo puede provocar interferencia del flujo sanguíneo,
lo que probablemente produzca sensaciones incómodas, como
hemorragia parcial subcutánea o adormecimiento temporal del
brazo. En general, estos síntomas no deben durar demasiado.
Sin embargo, si no se recupera en el momento, busque
asesoramiento médico.
• Utilice únicamente el adaptador de CA que se incluye con este
monitor o baterías alcalinas "AA" de 1,5 V como fuente de energía.
Las mediciones de la presión arterial que se determinen con este dispositivo
son equivalentes a las que obtiene un observador capacitado que use el
método de auscultación con brazalete/estetoscopio, dentro de los límites
prescritos por la Norma Nacional Estadounidense de Esfigmomanómetros
manuales, electrónicos o automatizados.
