To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we recommend
that you first consult with your physician or trained health care professional.
Thank you for purchasing an Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper care and use,
your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Monitor uses is called the
oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the
artery in your wrist and converts the movements into a digital reading. The
oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making the monitor easy-to-
use. The preformed cuff requires little effort to apply and is comfortable to wear.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the
wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Because the arteries in the wrist and arm are
connected, changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure.
Frequent wrist blood pressure measurements will provide you and your physician
with an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.
People with severe hypertension, severe arteriosclerosis, or severe diabetes,
should consult their physician about monitoring blood pressure at the arm.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to
measurements obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the National Standard for
Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Introduction

2
1. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a physician or a trained
health care professional who is familiar with your medical history. Through regular use of
this device and recording of your measurements, you can keep your physician informed
of the changes in your blood pressure.
2. Perform your measurement in a quiet place. You should be seated in a relaxed position.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30
minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are exhibiting signs of stress, avoid taking your
measurement until the feeling subsides.
4. Rest 15 minutes prior to taking a reading.
5. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with the cuff placement.
6. Keep the monitor stable during measurement to achieve an accurate reading. Remain
still; do not talk during the measurement.
7. Record your daily blood pressure and pulse readings on a chart.
8. Take your readings at the same time, each day or as recommended by your physician to
get an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.
9. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood vessels to return
to normal. The wait time may vary depending on your individual physiological
characteristics.
10. Although such cases are rare, for those with an extremely weak pulse or irregular
pulse, errors may result which prevent proper measurement. If abnormal variations are
noticed, consult with your physician or trained healthcare professional.
11. This device is intended for adult use. While taking a measurement, you can stop the
inflation or deflation process of the cuff at any time by pressing the POWER button.

Low battery warning:
It is necessary to replace the batteries when the Low Battery symbol “ ”
appears on the display, or when the display does not turn on after the
POWER button is pressed.
Battery Installation
Replacing the Battery:
1. Press down on latch and lift the cover on the
bottom of the monitor.
2. Insert or replace 2 x 1.5 V AAA batteries into the
battery compartment, ensuring to match the
indicated polarity symbols. Always use new
batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.
NOTE: Battery-operated
1. Please properly dispose of the batteries away from small children and heat.
2. It is recommended to remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended
period of time.
3. For long durations of non-operation, please remove all batteries from the device.
4. Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental and institutional
policies.
5. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the applicable legal regulations. Never
dispose of batteries in the normal household waste.

Setting the Date and Time
It is necessary to set the date and time for the unit every time batteries are
initially installed or replaced.
1. When the unit is off (a blank display screen) or after replacing batteries, press
and release the “Date and Time” button; the “Year” will begin to flash on the
display.
2. Press the “MEMORY” button to advance the display to the desired “Year”, press
“POWER” button to confirm the “Year”.
3. Next, the “Month” will blink. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to set the “Month” and “Date”,
then “hour”, then “Minute”.

It is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol
consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If
for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left wrist,
please modify the instructions for cuff application to your right wrist.
Your physician can help you identify which wrist is best for you to take
measurements from.
Applying Your Cuff
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with
cuff placement.
2. Be seated at a table or desk with your feet flat on the floor.
3. Hold your wrist in front of you with your palm facing upward.
4. Apply the preformed cuff to your wrist so that the digital display
face is positioned on the inside area of your wrist facing you.
5. Adjust the cuff 0.5~1 cm from the edge of the head of the ulna
bone.
6. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly
around your wrist.
Blood pressure naturally varies from one wrist to the
other; therefore, measure your blood pressure on the
same wrist to ensure comparability of the two readings.

Measurement of Pulse Rate and Blood Pressure
Please read the preceding portions of this manual prior to taking your first reading.
1. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing upward. Elevate your
wrist so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Relax your left hand.
2. Press the POWER button. This will turn the power on.
3. After the self-test, the values for the last reading will appear
on the display.
4. The blood pressure monitor start to measure.
5. The cuff will automatically begin to inflate, with the display showing the
increasing pressure in the cuff. As the pressure increases, an arrow
pointing up will appear on the display.
6. When the inflation has reached optimum level, the display will begin to
show the decreasing pressure; the screen will display an arrow
pointing down while you feel the pressure of the cuff decrease.
