♥ Safety Information
This device is for adult use only.
This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is
not intended for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions other than obtaining a blood
pressure measurement and pulse rate.
Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your blood pres-
sure. Do not begin or end medical treatment based solely on self-monitoring, consult a physician for
treatment advice.
If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time to mea-
sure your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting your physician.
This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.
If the cuff pressure exceeds (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deate. Should the cuff not
deate when pressures exceeds (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the arm and press the START/
STOP button to stop ination.
To avoid measurement errors, carefully read this manual before using this device.
This device is not AP/APG equipment and not suitable for use in the presence of a ammable

BEFORE YOU STARTBEFORE YOU START
♥ Installing and Replacing the Batteries
1. Slide off the battery cover on the back of the unit.
2. Install the batteries by matching the correct polarity, as shown below.
Always use the correct battery type (2 alkaline AAAsize)
3. Replace the battery cover.
It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure monitor
so that a time stamp can be assigned to each record stored in the memory.
(The year can be set to anywhere between 2000 and 2050.)
♥ Setting the Year, Date, Hour Format, Time,
and Measurement Units
1. When the unit is off, press the “SET” button
once then press “SET” again and hold for 3
seconds to enter the mode settings.
2. The [YEAR] will begin to ash. Press
“MEM” to advance to the current year.
3. Press “SET” when you have reached
the correct year to save your choice
and advance to the next step.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the
[MONTH] and [DAY].
•If this device will be stored for an extended period of time, please remove the batteries
in order to avoid corrosion.
•Used batteries are harmful to the environment, so please dispose of appropriately.
Remove the old batteries from the device and follow your local recycling guidelines
•Battery corrosion is not covered under your three year limited warranty.

MEASUREMENTBEFORE YOU START
8. Your selected settings will advance for
review and the monitor will then turn off
automatically.
♥ Positioning the Wrist Cuff
1. Remove all accessories (watch, bracelets, etc.) from your left wrist. If your
physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left arm, use your
right wrist instead.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
3. Apply the cuff to your left wrist with your palm facing up.
4. Keep the monitor level with your heart.
5. Position the edge of the cuff about 1 inch from your wrist.
6. Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra room between the
cuff and your skin. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate.
• You should always rest for at least 5 minutes before measuring your blood
pressure.
• Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood
circulation to recover.
• For a meaningful comparison, try to take blood pressure measurements under
similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the
same time, on the same arm, or as directed by a physician.
6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the
[HOUR] and [MINUTE].

USER INFORMATION
♥ Deleting a Recordfrom the Memory
If you did not get the correct measurement, you can delete
your most recent result, or you can delete all the results in
the measurement history by following the steps below:
♥ Tips for Measurement
Measurements taken under some circumstances may cause the monitor
to provide inaccurate readings:
Always wait at least 1 hour
after eating or drinking Never take a reading immediately after drinking tea or coffee, or after smoking.
Always wait at least 20 minutes after
taking a bath or shower Never take a reading while talking or moving your ngers
Never take a reading in a
very cold environment Never take a reading when you need to use the restroom

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSUREUSER INFORMATION
Avoid direct sunlight. Do not submerge in water or
any other liquid.
Avoid shaking or dropping the monitor. Store at room temperature in
a dry, clean environment.
Never use a wet cloth to remove dirt.
Always use a clean, dry cloth. Do not wash the monitor or the cuff.
♥ Care and Storage
In order to get the best performance out of your blood pressure monitor,
please follow the instructions below:
♥ What are Systolic and Diastolic Pressure?
When the ventricles contract to pump blood out of the
heart, the blood pressure reaches its highest pressure
in the cycle. This is known as systolic pressure. The
lowest blood pressure in the cycle occurs when the
heart relaxes between heartbeats, and this is known as
diastolic pressure.
The systolic pressure is the top number in your blood
pressure reading, and the diastolic is the bottom number.
♥ What is a Normal
Blood Pressure?
Only a physician can tell you your normal blood pressure range and the point at which you
are at risk. Consult your physician to obtain these values.
If the measurements taken with these products fall outside the range, consult your physician.
CAUTION
!
BP Level
(mmHg) Optimal BP Normal BP Mild
Hypertension Moderate Hypertension Severe Hypertension
SYS <120 120~139 140~159 160~179 >180
DIA <80 80~89 90~99 100~109 >110
The following charts illustrate the blood
pressure classication level established by
the World Health Organization (WHO) and
International Society of Hypertension (ISH)
in 1999.

♥ Why does my blood pressure
uctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure readings can naturally
vary throughout the day, so for the best accuracy,
take your readings the same way each time. (See
Tips for Accuracy on page 6.)
2. Blood pressure readings can uctuate if you are
taking medications.
2. If you are taking multiple readings, wait at least 3
minutes between readings for best accuracy.
TROUBLESHOOTINGABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
When taking your blood
pressure at home you
should always make sure
the cuff is fastened and
placed properly, and that
the cuff is not too tight or
too loose.
Make sure you are not
overly anxious or stressed
as this will elevate your
readings. It is recommended
to take 2-3 deep breaths
before beginning to take
your blood pressure.
♥ Why is the reading I get from
a healthcare provider different
from the ones I take at home?
Your blood pressure can be different even during a
24 hour period because of factors like the weather,
emotional state, recent exercise or exertion, etc.
Your readings may be elevated in a healthcare set-
ting because of anxiety caused by the “white coat
effect” and you may get lower readings at home
where you are calmer.
♥ Which arm should I use to
take my blood pressure?
Blood pressure readings can be taken on either the right
or left arm, but it is recommended to take readings using
the left arm. Consult your physician if you think you
need to use your right arm instead. Whichever arm you
use, it is important to take your blood pressure using the
same arm every time you take a reading.
