Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you
have selected the appropriate size cuff:
Adult Cuff fits arm circumference:
9"—13" (23—33 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 POWER button to turn the unit
on; the display 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. Select which memory bank to store your current
reading by selecting M1 (Memory Bank 1) or M2
(Memory Bank 2), up to 60 measurements per bank.
The reading will automatically be stored in M1 if no
memory bank is selected.
8. Select POWER 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 POWER 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
to achieve the maximum benefit from your blood
pressure monitor.
