MANUAL. PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE
MANUAL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure your
wrist is within the appropriate range:
wrist circumference 5-1/2" – 7-5/8" (14-19.5 cm)
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 Wrist Cuff
1. Be seated at a table or desk with your
feet flat on the floor. Hold your left arm
in front of you with your palm facing
upward.
2. Apply the preformed cuff to your left
wrist so that the digital display face is
positioned on the inside area of your
wrist facing you.
3. Adjust the cuff 1/4" - 1/2" from the edge
of the head of the ulna bone. The cuff
should fit comfortably, yet snugly around
your wrist.

Taking the Measurement
1. 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. Be certain that
cuff is elevated to the
proper level; you may
choose to support your
hand with a folded towel or
book. Relax your left hand.
2. Press the START/STOP button to turn
the unit on; the unit will run 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. The Hypertension Indicator will
indicate your reading range on the left
side of the display.
7. If an irregular heartbeat was detected
during the reading, the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector indicator will
appear on the display. Consult the
Instruction Manual for more information on the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector feature.
8. The reading will automatically be stored in
memory, up to 60 readings.
9. Select START/STOP to turn the unit off and
conserve energy and battery life. The unit will
automatically shut-off and revert to time/date
mode after approximately 2 minutes.
Please Note:
• You can stop the inflation or deflation process of
the cuff at any time by pressing the START/STOP
Fig. 1
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
Fig. 2 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.
