C. About Blood Pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows
through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and
sends blood out of the heart is systolic (high pressure). The pressure
measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is
called diastolic (low pressure).
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among the various health problems today, problems associated with high
blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure’s dangerously
strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases has made measuring blood
pressure become more important than ever.
Blood Pressure Classification Chart
The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a blood pressure
standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are
identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline as individual’s
blood pressures vary among different people and age groups, etc.
3

C. About Blood Pressure
It is important to consult 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.
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
You should not be worried if you get two or three measurements at high
levels. Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the
day. It is also influenced by season and temperature, personal condition,
etc.

E. Battery Installation
1. Press down and slide the
battery cover in the direction of the
arrow to open the battery
compartment.
2. Install or replace 4 ‘AA’ batteries
in the battery compartment, taking
care that the polarities (+) and (-)
are correct.
3. Slide the battery cover to close
the battery compartment. Do not mix old and new batteries.
4. You need to replace the batteries when:

after setting the time,
press the key “ ”
again to see the symbol
“” appear on the LCD,
blinking.
2. Long press the key “
” until the LCD shows
“CL”, and press the key
“ ” again to confirm the erasing of all the measurement results
3. Press the key “ ” to get back to ‘Stand By’ status.
H. About the Touch Key
When installing the battery don’t touch the key pad. The
screen will display “ ”, and then it will go out later.
When you turn on the device by using the touch keys,
you should press the touch key for 1 ~ 2 seconds
continuously.
If the touch key doesn’t work properly, please move away your finger, wait
for 4-10 seconds, it would return to correct state.

I. Applying the Cuff
1. Plug in the cuff connecting tube into the unit
and unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the “Index”
end of the cuff through the D-ring.
2. Put the cuff on your left arm, make sure the
air tube is in the inside of the elbow.
3. Turn your left palm upward and adjust the
edge of the cuff at approximately 2-3cm above
the elbow.
4. Adjust your cuff’s air tube, the air tube shall
lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the
arm. The tube should run down the centre of
the arm.
5. Tighten the cuff by pulling the ‘Index’ end of
the cuff.
Note:
The “PROPER FIT RANGE”.
If the Index arrowhead falls within the
“PROPER FIT RANGE”, it indicates that this
cuff is suitable for you. If the Index arrowhead
falls out of the “PROPER FIT RANGE” you
may need a small/large cuff for measurement.
Please consult your seller about changing cuff.

J. Measurement Procedure
Important tips for the most accurate blood pressure measurements
•Sit comfortably at a table and rest your arm on the table;
•Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement;
•Place the centre of the cuff at the same height as your heart;
•Remain still and keep quiet during the measurement;
•Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath;
•Rest twenty to thirty minutes before taking the measurement;
•Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
Note:
During measurement, do not be alarmed if you feel that the cuff is very
tight.
An individual’s blood pressure varies constantly, depending on the time of
the day, and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong
and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device measures blood pressure through oscillometric method,
meaning they measure the fluctuation in pressure. If you have a very weak
or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your blood
pressure.

K. Take a Measurement
1. Press the key “ ”. All digits will light up, checking the
display functions. The checking process will be completed
after about 2 seconds.
2. After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking
“0”. The monitor is now ready to measure and will
automatically inflate to a settled pressure value around
180mmHg. This monitor will re-inflate automatically to
approximately 210mmHg, if the system detects your body
needs more pressure to take the measurement.
3. After inflating to the settled pressure, the device starts to
deflate, when the heartbeat was detected, a heart symbol “
” will blinking on the display. The blinking “ ” mark
blinks with each heartbeat.
4. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will
deflate automatically. Systolic, diastolic and pulse with
date/time will be shown simultaneously on the LCD
screen. The measurement results will be stored
automatically. If a mistake was detected during the
measurement, the symbol ‘E’ will display on the screen.
Please refer to troubleshooting on page 16.
5. Press the key “ ” to switches off the device. Untie the cuff and pack the
device in the box to preserve the device.
Note:
This monitor will automatically switch off after 3 minutes.
To stop the measurement procedure, please press the key “ ” directly.
11

L. Recalling Memories
Note:
•This device stores eighty measurements in the
memory automatically. The data is always retained
in the device.
•This device is able to record systolic, diastolic and
pulse simultaneously with time/data.
•This device is capable to show average results of
the latest 2 measurements.
1. In the ‘Stand By’ status. Press the key “ ” to enter into
memory recall function.
2. After press the key “ ” , a symbol “ .” will
displayed. The average systolic, diastolic and pulse of the
last 2 measurements will display. Note: The “ ” symbol
means average.
3. Pressing the key “ ” again to get the latest results. By
pressing the key “ ” to get the desired measurement
results.
4. Hold the key “ ”, the memory number will increase
quickly, release the key “ ” to get the desired
measurement results.
5. After the earliest measurement results was displayed,
the number goes to “1”.
6. Press key “ ” to finish recall memories and get back
to “Stand By” status.

M. Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Reason
Recommended Action
Nothing appears on
the display, even
when the power is
turned on.
Batteries are drained
Replace all batteries with new ones
Battery terminals are not
in the correct position
Reinstall the batteries with negative
and positive terminals matching
those indicated on the battery
compartment
The cuff does not
inflate
Battery voltage is too low.
The LOW BATTERY
mark blinks. If the
batteries are drained
completely, the mark
does not appear.
Replace all batteries with new ones
The unit does not
measure
The cuff is not fastened
properly.
Fasten the cuff correctly
You moved your arm or
body during the
measurement.
Make sure you remain very still and
quiet during the measurement
The cuff position is not
correct.
Sit comfortably and still. Raise your
hand so that the cuff is at the same
level as your heart
------------------
If you have a very weak or irregular
heartbeat the device may have
difficulty in determining your blood
pressure
Measurement values
appear too high or
too low.
------------------
Blood pressure varies constantly
Many factors in cluding stress, time
of day and how you wrap the cuff
may affect your blood pressure.
Review the section "Taking a
Measurement"
Other
The value is different
from that measured at a
clinic or doctor's office.
Being at a clinic may cause
apprehension. The pressure may
higher by 25-30 mmHg.
------------------
Remove the batteries. Place them
back properly and try the
measurement again
Note:
If the problem still exists, please consult the company where you purchased
the device and describe the problems in detail.
Please don’t disassemble the device by yourself and attempt to repair the
device.
