GENERAL REMARKS 1. To deflate the cuff quickly, press the “START/STOP” switch. 2. The attached cuff is suitable for arm circumferences of 22-32 cm. 3. When attaching the cuff, the air hose should be placed on the inside of your arm on top of the artery. 4. Self measurement is not therapy! In no event should you change the dosage of your medication prescribed by your physician. 5.
GENERAL REMARKS 9. DO NOT measure blood pressure when the cuff has been on your arm for a few minutes or more. During this time, your arm will have built up a higher blood pressure and you will not get valid reading. 10. The figure below shows the blood pressure classifications under the WHO standards.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE 1. If you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure or other circulatory disease, consult your physician before using the monitor. 2. If the cuff pressure feels abnormal or you experience any other irregularity while using the cuff, reduce the pressure immediately by pressing the “START/STOP” switch and then consult the sales outlet where you purchased the monitor. 3.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE 15. Be sure to use this unit only for measuring blood pressure. DO NOT use it for any other purpose. 16. DO NOT use this unit on infants. 17. Blood pressure measurement may not be possible for anyone with common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation. Maintenance Precautions English 1.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE Nature and frequency of maintenance: This product is designed for use over an extended period of time; however, it is generally recommended that it be inspected every two years to ensure proper function and performance. Please help to protect natural environment by respecting national and/or local recycling regulations when disposing of the battery and the product at the end of their useful live.

LOADING THE BATTERIES (Batteries supplied with the unit should be loaded in compartment before you use the blood pressure monitor.) 1 Open the cover of battery compartment. Pressing the hook down, pull the cover toward you to open. English 4 “AA” batteries Hook Battery compartment Battery cover * If the Blood pressure monitor is left unused for an extended period of time, the batteries should be removed from the compartment. Lug (projecting section) 2 Place batteries in the compartment.
LOADING THE BATTERIES 3 Close the battery cover. English Fitting the lugs of the cover at the mating recesses of the battery compartment body, push the hook to close the cover. Fit the lugs (projections) at the recesses. REMOVING THE BATTERIES • When the icon is displayed or nothing appears in the display, replace the old batteries with four new ones. All four batteries should be changed at once. • The memory is erased if the batteries are removed for replacement.
USING AC ADAPTER (OPTION) Using the optional dedicated AC adapter (model: AC-230CZ) for the CITIZEN blood pressure monitor (CH-432BS) allows you to measure your blood pressure without having to worry about the amount of remaining charge in the batteries. 1 English 2 AC adapter socket Insert the AC adapter plug into the socket on the blood pressure monitor. Plug the AC adapter into a mains power outlet.
MEASURING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 1 Unroll the arm cuff and thread the end through the metal hoop so that the side with the Velcro patch is on the outside. 2 Put the arm cuff around your arm so that the blue marker comes to the palm side. 3 Adjust the position of the arm cuff so that the blue marker is located in the center of your arm and the hem of the cuff is 1 to 2 cm above your elbow. Blue marker Metal hoop * The cuff should be put on the bare arm or over a light-weight underwear.
MEASURING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Pull the end of the arm cuff outwards so that the cuff is snug around your arm and then secure the end to the Velcro. 5 Place your arm on a table or the like, so that the center of the cuff comes to the height of your heart. English 4 * Carefully place the cuff on your arm, taking care to use the correct tightness. The tightness is correct if you can readily slide a finger between the cuff and your arm. 6 Relax your arm and lightly open your hand, with the palm upward.
TIPS FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS Your blood pressure varies according to your posture, the time of day and a range of other factors. Ideally, you should measure your blood pressure in the same posture at the same time every day. 1 Place your arm on a table or similar surface with your forearm extended. 2 It is important to have the arm cuff level with your heart. 3 Open your hand slightly on the table so that your palm is facing up and your fingers are relaxed.
MEASURING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 2 Plug the air hose connector into the main unit. Air hose socket English • Plug the air hose connector firmly into the air hose socket on the main unit, as illustrated. Air hose connector 3 Set the pressurization setting value The setting value should be at least 30mmHg higher than the normal systolic blood pressure value. If your systolic blood pressure value around 130mmHg, for example, set to 160.
MEASURING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE * Place the cuff at the height of the heart. Press the START/STOP switch (the yellow switch). If the pressurization value exceeds 280mmHg, if pressurization feels abnormal, or if you want to stop the measurement process, press the START/STOP switch again. The cuff deflates, and the power turns off. 1 The measurement is displayed for approximately two seconds. * 2 lights during the first measurement performed after the battery is replaced.
MEASURING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Once pressurization is complete, lights and there is a pause before measurement begins automatically. 4 flashes each time a pulse is counted, and the pressure value is displayed on the diastolic blood pressure display. 5 Once measurement is complete, the cuff deflates and the measurement results (systolic/diastolic blood pressure values, pulse) are displayed.
MEASURING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 6 Finishing measurement. START/STOP Switch * When you want to stop measurement, press the “START/STOP” switch. The cuff is deflated and measurement stops. AUTOMATIC POWER OFF FEATURE • After taking the blood pressure measurement, pressing the “START/STOP” switch will turn the monitor off. However, if you do not press the switch, the monitor’s Auto OFF function will automatically turn the monitor off after 3 minutes.
KEY TO DISPLAY ICONS English Icon displayed Condition/Cause Displayed during measurement. Lit Measurement is under way. Flashing Pulse detected. Displayed during measurement. “PUL Err” is displayed when the pulse value is below 40 or above 181. If any of the following marks is displayed, take the specified action, then repeat the operation. Icon displayed Condition/Cause Corrective action • Insufficient pressure. • Appears when the blood-pressure could not be measured accurately.
ABOUT “BLOOD PRESSURE” What is blood pressure? The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. Blood is pumped from the heart at a constant pressure into arteries. This pressure is called the arterial blood pressure and represents, in general terms, your blood pressure. Blood pressure is indicated by several kinds of pressures, including the systolic pressure that occurs when the heart pumps blood, and the diastolic pressure that occurs when blood returns to the heart.
BLOOD PRESSURE Q&A English Q Why is the blood pressure measured at home different from that measured by the physician or at a hospital? A Your blood pressure may vary due to exercise, the ambient temperature or your mental state. When you have a physician or nurse measure your blood pressure, the pressure value is likely to be 10 to 20 mmHg higher than usual due to anxiety and/or stress. Knowing what affects your blood pressure helps you to better monitor your health.
BEFORE REQUESTING REPAIRS OR TESTING Make sure to check the following before sending your blood pressure monitor away to be tested or repaired. Checks Response Check whether the batteries are dead. Replace all the batteries with new ones. Check whether the batteries are installed the right way round ( and oriented correctly). Load the batteries in the correct direction. No measurements can be taken. Check whether the measurement icon displayed. Attach the arm cuff properly.
