3. Using the Monitor
3.1 Charging the Battery
Use the USB cable to charge the monitor. Connect the USB
cable to a USB charger or to the PC. It takes 2 hours to fully
charge. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator will
be off.
The monitor works on very low power consumption, and a
full charge usually lasts for months. A battery symbol, which
indicates the battery status is displayed on the screen.
Note: The device cannot be used while charging.
3.2 Blood Pressure Measurement
3.2.1 Before Taking Measurements
To help ensure accurate measurements, follow these
directions:
Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking
measurements.
Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking
measurements when stressed.
Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
A single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure. You need to
take and record several results over a period of time.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day to maintain consistency.
3.2.2 Applying the Arm Cuff
1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1 to 2 cm
above the elbow joint, as shown.
2. Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may

11
cause a faint pulse and result in measurement errors.
3. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a
shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings.
4. Confirm that the artery position mark is lined up with
the artery.
Note：Keep the host wear position aligned with the middle
finger.
3.2.3 Sitting Correctly
To take measurements, you need to be relaxed and
comfortably seated. Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed
and your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table, so
that the cuff is level with your heart.
3.2.4 Measuring Blood Pressure
1. Power on the blood pressure monitor.
2. Press the Start/Stop button to start taking blood pressure
measurements.
4. The monitor will automatically deflate the cuff slowly
while taking measurements. A typical measurement
takes about 30s.

12
4. The readings will be displayed when the measurement is
finished.
You can press Start/Stop button again to stop the blood
pressure measurement.
Note: While taking measurements, you should remain
still and not squeeze the cuff.
3.2.5 After Taking Measurements
The monitor will automatically release the gas in the cuff
once finished taking measurements.
Press the button to turn the power off after taking
measurements. Remove the cuff.
Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function,
which turns off the power automatically 2 minutes after
taking measurements.
3.3 Recording ECG
3.3.1 Before Taking Measurements
To help ensure accurate measurements, follow these
directions:
Before using the ECG function, pay attention to the
following points to obtain precise measurements.
The ECG electrode must be positioned directly against
the skin.
If your skin or hands are dry, moisten them using a
damp cloth before taking measurements.
If the ECG electrodes are dirty, remove the dirt using a
soft cloth or cotton swap dampened with disinfection
alcohol.
While taking measurements, do not touch your body
with the hand with which you are taking

13
measurements.
Please note that there must be no skin to skin contact
between your right and left hand. Otherwise, the
measurements cannot be taken correctly.
Stay still while taking measurements, do not speak and
hold the device still. Movements of any kind will falsify
measurements.
If possible, take measurements when sitting and not
when standing.
Follow the text and voice guides on your phone to
finish taking measurements.
3.3.2. Recording ECG without the Cable

you desired to measure.
3. Once the body parts are placed on the electrodes, press
the Function button to start EKG recording.
4. Wait for 30 seconds, the result readings will be displayed.
To start recording ECG again, press the Start/Stop button to
return to the Home screen, then press the Function button.
Note:
The recording must take at least 30 seconds to
complete, and to be analyzed by the detectors
You can get different signal amplitudes from different
methods. Use Lead II mode if the signal is too low in
Lead I mode.
3.3.3. Turn on/off Heartbeat Sound
The buzzer beeps when a heartbeat is detected while
recording ECG. You can turn on/off the heartbeat sound on
the App.
3.4 Reviewing History Records
You can review the history results and replay the recorded
ECG waveform on the History screen.
Hold the Function button for 2 seconds to enter the History
screen. The last measurement results will be displayed by
default

15
