MANUAL. PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE
MANUAL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you
have selected the appropriate size cuff:
Adult Cuff fits arm circumference:
8-3/4"—12-1/2" (22—32 cm).
Additional cuffs are available for order on the included
order form or by calling 866-326-1313.
A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading. No eating, drinking or
smoking while resting.
Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove any constrictive clothing or
jewelry that may interfere with cuff
placement. Wrap the cuff snugly
around your left arm. Position the
cuff's bottom edge one inch ABOVE
the elbow joint. Position the air
tubing over the main artery (on the
inside of your arm). You should be
able to insert one finger between
your arm and cuff.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES, PLEASE CALL THE TOLL-FREE

Please read the preceding portions of this manual prior to
taking your first reading.
Reminder, it is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking
medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30
minutes prior to taking a reading.
1. Position the monitor on
a flat, stable surface
with the digital display
in view. Insert the cuff
tubing connector into
the port on the left side
of your monitor. Rest
your elbow on a solid
surface with your palm
facing upward. Elevate
your arm so that the cuff is at the
same level as your heart, Fig 1.
Relax your left hand.
2. Press the START/STOP button to
turn the unit on; the unit will briefly
flash a self-test, Fig 2.
3. The cuff will automatically inflate
to approximately 180mmHg; you
will see the numbers go up on the
display screen.
4. When the inflation has reached
optimum level, the display will
begin to show the decreasing
pressure while you feel the pressure
of the cuff decrease.
5. When the measurement is
complete, your blood pressure
measurement and pulse will display
simultaneously on the screen, Fig 3.
6. Consult the included Instruction Manual for
information on interpreting your reading results.
0.8-1.2"/2-3cm
7. The results will automatically be stored in the selected
memory up to 60 readings.
8. Select START/STOP to turn the unit off and conserve
energy and battery life.
Please Note:
• You can stop the inflation or deflation process of the
cuff at any time by pressing the START/STOP button.
• Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude,
physical activity, anxiety, muscular development,
certain medications or even the time of day can
influence blood pressure.
• Blood pressure varies from moment to moment; even
readings taken after proper rest periods can vary.
Home blood pressure readings may vary as much as
10-20 points from ones taken at your doctor's office.
• Variations in your individual readings should only be
interpreted by your physician or trained health care
professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician
