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].

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].
