IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATION
All physical activity, excitement, stress, eating, drinking, smoking, body posture and many
other activities or factors (including taking a blood pressure measurement) will influence blood
pressure value. Because of this, it is mostly unusual to obtain identical multiple blood pressure
readings.
Blood pressure fluctuates continually ----- day and night. The highest value usually appears in
the daytime and lowest one usually at midnight. Typically, the value begins to increase at
around 3:00AM, and reaches to highest level in the daytime while most people are awake and
active.
Considering the above information, it is recommended that you measure your blood pressure
at approximately the same time each day.
Too frequent measurements may cause injury due to blood flow interference, please always
relax a minimum of 1 to 1.5 minutes between measurements to allow the blood circulation in
your arm to recover. It is rare that you obtain identical blood pressure readings each time.

SETUP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. BATTERY LOADING
a. Open battery cover at the back of the monitor.
b. Load four “AA” size batteries. Please pay attention to polarity.
c. Close the battery cover.
When LCD shows battery symbol , replace all batteries with new ones.

Template version:16/15
Rechargeable batteries are not suitable for this monitor.
Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for a month or more to avoid relevant
damage of battery leakage.
Avoid the battery fluid to get in your eyes. If it should get in your eyes, immediately
rinse with plenty of clean water and contact a physician.
The monitor, the batteries and the cuff, must be disposed of according to local
regulations at the end of their usage.
2. CLOCK AND DATE ADJUSTMENT
a. Once you install the battery or turn off the monitor, it will enter Clock Mode, and
LCD will display time and date.
b. While the monitor is in Clock Mode, press the “START” and “MEM” button
simultaneously for two seconds, the month will blink at first. Press the button
“START” repeatedly, the day, hour and minute will blink in turn. While the number
is blinking, press the button “MEM” to increase the number. Keep on pressing the
button "MEM", the number will increase fast.
c. You can turn off the monitor by pressing “START” button when the minute is
blinking, then the time and date is confirmed.
d. The monitor will turn off automatically after 1 minute of no operation with the time
and date unchanged.
e. Once you change the batteries, you should readjust the time and date.
3. CONNECTING THE CUFF TO THE MONITOR
Insert the cuff tubing connector into the socket in the left side of the monitor. Make
certain that the connector is completely inserted to avoid air leakage during blood pressure
measurements.

Template version:17/15
Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing during measurement，
which may cause inflation error, or harmful injury due to continuous cuff pressure.
4. APPLYING THE CUFF
a. Pulling the cuff end through the medal loop (the cuff is
packaged like this already), turn it outward (away from your
body) and tighten it and close the Velcro fastener.
b. Place the cuff around a bare arm 1-2cm above the elbow joint.
c. While seated, place palm upside in front of you on a flat surface
such as a desk or table. Position the air tube in the middle of
your arm in line with your middle finger.
d. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm.
You should be able to insert one finger between your arm and the cuff.
Note:
1. Please refer to the cuff circumference range in “SPECIFICATIONS” to make
sure that the appropriate cuff is used.
2. Measuring on same arm each time.
3. Do not move your arm, body, or the monitor and do not move the rubber tube
during measurement.
4. Stay quiet, calm for 5 minutes before blood pressure measurement.
5. Please keep the cuff clean. If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor
and clear it by hand in a mild detergent, then rinse it thoroughly in cold water.
Never dry the cuff in clothes dryer or iron it. Clean the cuff after the usage of
every 200 times is recommended.
5. BODY POSTURE DURING MEASUREMENT
Sitting Comfortably Measurement
a. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor, and don’t cross your
legs.
b. Place palm upside in front of you on a flat surface such as a
desk or table.
c. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of the heart.
Lying Down Measurement
a. Lie on your back.
b. Place your arm straight along your side with your palm
upside.
c. The cuff should be placed at the same level as your
heart.

Template version:18/15
6. TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
a. After applying the cuff and your body is in a comfortable
position, press the “START” button. A beep is heard and all
display characters are shown for self-test. You can check the
LCD display according to the right picture. Please contact the
service center if segment is missing.
b. If the monitor has stored results, the LCD will
momentarily display the most recent one. If no
result has been stored, zero will appear on LCD.
c. Then the monitor inflates the cuff until sufficient pressure has
built up for a measurement. Then the monitor slowly releases
air from the cuff and carries out the measurement. Finally the
blood pressure and pulse rate will be calculated and displayed
on the LCD screen. The blood pressure classification indicator
and Irregular heartbeat symbol (if any) will blink on the screen.
The result will be automatically stored in the monitor.
d. After measurement, the monitor will turn off automatically after 1 minute of no
operation. Alternatively, you can press the “START” button to turn off the monitor
manually.
e. During measurement, you can press the “START” button to turn off the monitor
manually.
Note: Please consult a health care professional for interpretation of pressure measurements.
7. DISPLAYING STORED RESULTS
a. In Clock Mode, press “MEM” button, the last result
will be displayed with date and time. Irregular
heartbeat symbol (if any) and the indicator of blood
pressure classification will blink at the same time.
Press “MEM” button repeatedly to review the
results measured previously.
b. When displaying the stored results, the monitor will turn off automatically after 2
minutes of no operation. You can also press the button “START” to turn off the monitor
manually.
8. DELETING MEASUREMENTS FROM THE
MEMORY
When any result is displaying, keeping on pressing

Template version:19/15
button “MEM” for three seconds, all results will be deleted after three “beep”. Press the
button “MEM” or “START”, the monitor will turn off.
9. ASSESSING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE FOR ADULTS
The following guidelines for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender)
have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO). Please note that other
factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) need to be taken into consideration. Consult with
your physician for accurate assessment, and never change your treatment by yourself.
Note: It is not intended to provide a basis of any type of rush toward emergency
conditions/diagnosis based on the color scheme and that the color scheme is meant only to
discriminate between the different levels of blood pressure.
