Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Ozeri Fully
Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.
The device uses the oscillometric method of
blood pressure measurement. This method
detects the movement of your blood through
your brachial artery, and converts your blood
pressure into a digital reading. The unit is
simple to use because no stethoscope is
needed while using an oscillometric monitor.
This device automatically stores 1197 sets of
measurement values with date and time data
for 3 users (1197 measurements total). You can
access the stored data simply by pressing the
MEMO button.
Important Safety Information
To assure the correct use of this product, basic
safety measures should always be followed,
including the precautions listed below:
• Read all information in the instruction manual
and any other literature included in the box
before using this device.
• Consult your physician before measuring
blood pressure, especially if you have any
of the following conditions: hypertension,
diabetes, arteriosclerosis, kidney or
vascular disease, or any conditions
affecting circulation.

• Operate this device only as it is intended. Do
not use this device for any other purpose.
•This device is intended for use in measuring
blood pressure and heart rates for adults only.
Do not use on infants or persons who cannot
express their intentions.
• Do not use a cellular phone near this device.
Cell phones may inhibit the accuracy of this
device.
• Do not disassemble or attempt to repair this
device or any of its components. Doing so will
void the warranty.
•
gases (such as anesthetic gas, oxygen or
alcohol) are present.
Understanding Blood Pressure Values
This device refers to a blood pressure
Organization (WHO) and the International
Society of Hypertension (ISH).

Suggestions before Measuring Blood
Pressure
1. Rest for at least 5-10 minutes before taking
your blood pressure.
2. Avoid eating, smoking, exercising, bathing
and drinking (especially alcohol, caffeine or
tea) for at least 20-30 minutes before taking
a measurement, and avoid talking while
measuring your blood pressure.
3. Make sure the wrist cuff is at heart level.
4. Stress raises blood pressure. Try to keep
calm before and during the measurement
process.
5. Wait 2-3 minutes before retaking your blood
pressure measurement.
6. Keep the records for your physician and
refer to your physician for guidance.
Remember that one reading does not
provide a true blood pressure value;
only long-term records will reveal a more
accurate picture of your blood pressure. Try
to take your measurement at the same time
each day to stay consistent.

Installing/Replacing Batteries
To prevent the accidental deletion of the blood
pressure readings stored in Memory, make
sure the device is turned off before installing /
replacing the batteries.
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding it in the
direction indicated by the arrow.
2. Install 2 new AAA alkaline batteries, following
the +/- polarity indicators marked inside.
3. Replace the battery cover.

Note:
a. When (Low Battery Indicator) appears on
the display, the batteries are low in charge.
Change the batteries as soon as possible.
A low battery charge can affect the ability of
this device to take correct measurements.
b. Replace old batteries with new ones
immediately.
c. Replace with new ALKALINE batteries for
best performance and longevity.
d. Remove and store the batteries if this device
will not be used for an extended period of
time (i.e., 3 months). The batteries can leak
chemicals which can destroy electronic
components in this device.

Note: After replacing batteries, always
proceed to use the blood pressure monitor.
Using the Wrist Cuff
1. Remove all clothes from
your arm allowing the
cuff to make direct
contact on your skin.
2. Hold your left arm in front
of you with your palm
facing up. Apply the wrist
cuff so that the monitor is on the inside wrist
facing upwards towards you so that the
screen is in clear view.
3. As shown in the image below, enclose the
wrist cuff leaving 1/4”~1/2” (0.6 cm - 1.3 cm)
between the edge of the cuff and the palm
of your hand.

4. Hold the bottom part of the cuff
and wrap it comfortably around
your wrist. The top and bottom
edges of the cuff should be
tightened evenly around your
wrist. (Do not pull strongly on
the cuff. Do not apply the wrist
cuff too tightly.)
5. When the cuff is positioned correctly, secure
it in place by pressing the two sides of the
Correct Measurement Position
In order to get an accurate reading, sit upright
in a chair and rest your left elbow on the table.
If needed use a cushion, pillow or your other
wrist for support. Keep your palm facing up
and make sure the monitor is at heart level.
Take a few deep breaths and relax your body,

About Blood Circulation
The blood circulation is responsible for
supplying the body with oxygen. Blood
pressure is the pressure exerted on the
arteries.
The systolic blood pressure value (higher
pressure or top value) represents the blood
pressure produced by contraction of the heart
muscle.
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower
pressure or lower value) represents the blood
pressure produced by relaxation of the heart
muscle.

Irregular Heartbeat?
that varies by 25% from the average of all
heartbeat intervals while the unit is measuring
the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
If an irregular rhythm is detected more than
twice during measurement, the irregular
will appear on the display along with the
measurement results.
Note: If the irregular heartbeat symbol
appears on the screen, it is recommended
you consult your physician for further
testing. Do not use this device as a
substitute for proper medical diagnosis and
check-ups by your physician.
14

What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals
that cause the heart to contract. Arrhythmia
is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is
system that drives the heartbeat. Typical
symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature
contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia)
or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be
caused by heart disease, aging, physical
predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc.
The appearance of an irregular heartbeat
symbol does indicate arrhythmia. Arrhythmia
and other heart conditions can only be properly
diagnosed by a doctor through a medical
examination.
Using the Memory Feature
The measured blood pressure and pulse
readings are automatically stored in the
memory. This blood pressure monitor will save
the most recent 1197 measurements in memory
(399 measurements for 3 users). If more than
399 measurements per user are taken, the
earliest measurement is erased and replaced
by the most recent measurement.
15

Recall/Review previous measurements
Note: The memory feature does not require
following instructions apply whether the
device is on or off.
Press the MEMO/▲ button to recall/review the
most recent measurement.
Continue to press the MEMO/▲ button to
review each previous measurement. If there
are any measurements stored in the memory,
the latest measurement (M 01) will appear
when you press the MEMO/▲ button.
The Systolic blood pressure, Diastolic
blood pressures, pulse, and Date/Time
of measurement will display for each
measurement.
Press the MEMO/▲ button repeatedly to
cycle through previous measurements. The
measurement number will be displayed as
M 01, M 02, M 03, M 04, … etc. The screen will
also illuminate according to the device’s 3-color
light system to indicate systolic and diastolic
blood pressure health.
16

Using the Average Feature
The blood pressure monitor provides an
average blood pressure reading calculated
based on the total measurements stored in
memory. To activate the average feature, press
the MEMO/▲ button. The symbol AVG will
appear on the screen along with your average
systolic, diastolic and pulse readings.
Deleting Individual Measurements
You can delete an individual blood pressure
reading immediately after completing a
measurement. Simply press the SCAN/▼ as
soon as the results of a measurement are
displayed on the screen. Press SCAN/▼ button
