• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers.
• Electromagnetic interference: The device contains
sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong
electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct
vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones,
microwave ovens). These may lead to temporary
impairment of measurement accuracy.
• Use blood pressure monitor only for its intended use.
• Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other than
your arm.
• This unit is intended for use in measuring the blood
pressure and pulse rate of adults. Do not use this
device on infants or those who cannot express their
own consent. This unit should not be operated by
children.
Blood pressure measurements determined with this
device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained
observer using the cuff/stethoscope ausculatory
method, within the limits prescribed by the American
National Standard, Manual, electronic, or automated
sphygmomanometers.
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 diseases. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The US Department of Health and Human Services
and the National Institutes of Health have developed
a blood pressure standard, that identifies areas of
low- and high-risk blood pressure.
BPS-FD1.qxd 7/13/06 9:55 AM Page 3

65
This standard, however, is a general guideline as an
individual’s blood pressure varies among different
people, age groups, etc.
It is important that you consult with your physician
regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood
pressure range as well as the point at which you will
be considered at risk.
For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,
keeping long-term records is recommended.
Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Stage 2 Hypertension >160 >100
Stage 1 Hypertension 140~159 90~99
Prehypertension 120~139 80~89
Normal <120 <80
__
To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall
into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.
HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This manual inflate digital blood pressure monitor
provides systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and
pulse readings quickly and easily. Once the cuff is
inflated, the monitor will determine your blood
pressures by analysis of your pressure oscillations.
When the measurement is completed, the device will
deflate the cuff and display your systolic pressure,
diastolic pressure and pulse readings.

3. Open the arm cuff so that your arm may be placed
through it.
4. Remove tight fitting clothing from around your upper
left arm. Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm as
shown below. The rubber tube should point in the
direction of your hand. The bottom edge of the cuff
should be 0.8"~1.2" (2~3 cm) above your elbow with
the tube positioned over the middle of your arm.

5. Locate the main artery by pressing with two
fingers approximately 1" (2 cm) above the bend of
your elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify
where the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is
your main artery.
6. Position the red area of the cuff on the inside of
your left arm with the artery symbol ( ) over the
main artery.
7. To secure the cuff, pull the end toward you,
wrap it over the cuff, then press the hook and loop

Note: If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left
arm, it can also be placed on your right arm.
However, all measurements should be made
using the same arm. To use on the right arm,
you must position the symbol over the main
artery on the inside of your right arm.
Very Important: Proper cuff size is critical to
accurate measurement. This cuff is suitable for your
use if the Index line falls within the OK range as
shown below. If the Index line falls out of the OK
range, you will need a cuff with other circumferences.
Contact Health Plus Consumer Relations regarding
additional cuff sizes.

1. With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press the
START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless it
is wrapped around your arm. All digits will light up to
check the display functions. The checking procedure
will be completed after about 2 seconds. The
arrow will appear momentarily and then the display
will show a “0”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure”
at this point.
2. Using the hand of the arm that does not have the cuff
on it (this will be your right hand if wearing the cuff on
your left arm), squeeze the inflation bulb and continue
pumping until the pressure reading on the display
reaches 170 mmHg. The cuff will then begin slowly
deflating as part of the measurement process.
If the pressure in the cuff is not enough, an upward
arrow ( ) will appear, directing you to continue
pumping. It is recommended that you pump until the
pressure reading on the display reaches 200 mmHg.

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 18 for additional notes regarding your
blood pressure measurement.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
• Take your reading in a comfortable environment
as measurements can be affected by hot or cold
temperatures. Take your blood pressure at normal
body temperature.
• Do not move or talk during measurement as this
can elevate readings.
• Do not move or cross legs during measurement.
Keep feet flat on floor.
• Do not touch cuff or monitor during measurement
procedure.
• It is suggested that you take your measurements at
the same time each day and use the same arm for
consistency.
• Users should wait a minimum of 5 minutes before
taking additional measurements. More time may be
necessary depending upon your physiology.
• The measurement results that users receive
are for reference only. If users have any blood
pressure concerns, please consult a physician.
• If inflation reaches 300 mmHg, the unit will
deflate automatically for safety reasons.
• This product is not suitable for people with
arrhythmias.
