BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations: 1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement. 2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times. 3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place. 4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm. 5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

UNIT DISPLAY Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Memory symbol (Displayed when viewing values stored in memory) Heartbeat symbol Pulse display Deflation symbol Battery low indicator Irregular Heartbeat symbol 8
DISPLAY SYMBOLS IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( ) When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( ) will appear on the display with the measurement values. Normal Heartbeat An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a Pulse rhythm that is more than 25% slower or 25% faster from the average rhythm detected while the Blood pressure monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
DISPLAY SYMBOLS The American Heart Association recommends the following guideline for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings: AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home blood pressure goal for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure1.
BATTERY INSTALLATION CAUTION Use only 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries with this device. 1. Press the ▲ indicator on the battery cover and slide the cover off in the direction of the arrow. 2. Install 4 “AAA” size batteries so the + (positive) and (negative) polarities match the polarities of the battery compartment as indicated. NOTE: 4 “AAA” size batteries are not included in this unit. 3. Replace the battery cover.
APPLYING THE ARM CUFF CAUTION Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the unit. CAUTION This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions. APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE LEFT ARM 1. Make sure the air plug is securely inserted in the main unit. 2. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm. 3.
APPLYING THE ARM CUFF 4. Wrap the cuff firmly in place around your arm using the cloth fastening. APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM When taking a measurement using the right arm, use this instruction for Step 3. Apply the cuff to your right upper arm so the arrow and the air tube runs along the inside of your arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2" above your elbow. Right Arm Arrow NOTE: Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT 1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table so the cuff is level with your heart. Keep still and do not talk during measurement. 2. Press the START/STOP button. All symbols appear on the display. The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. Remain still and do not move your arm until the entire measurement process is completed.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT 5. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off. NOTE: The monitor will automatically turn off after five minutes. SPECIAL CONDITIONS CAUTION Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the cuff is applied. If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press and hold the START/STOP button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure. NOTES: • Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION Every time you complete a measurement the monitor stores the blood pressure and pulse rate in the memory. The monitor automatically stores up to 14 sets of measurement values (systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate). When 14 sets of measurement values are stored, the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent values. 1. Press the Memory (M) button. The most recent set of measurement values appears on the display.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE To keep your digital blood pressure monitor in the best condition and protect the unit from damage, follow the directions listed below: Do not forcefully bend the arm cuff or air tube. Do not fold tightly. Clean the monitor with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive or volatile cleaners. Do not attempt to clean the cuff. CAUTION Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water. Do not subject the monitor to extreme hot or cold temperatures, humidity or direct sunlight.
ERROR INDICATORS SYMBOL CAUSE CORRECTION Take another measurement and remain still until the measurement is complete. Monitor could not detect pulse wave. Cuff under-inflated. Cuff not applied correctly. Remove the arm cuff. Read “Taking a Measurement”. Cuff over-inflated. Wait 2-3 minutes. Take another measurement. Batteries are worn. Replace the four batteries. Refer to “Battery Installation”. Device error. Contact Customer Service.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS PROBLEM CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS No power. No display appears on the unit. Replace all four batteries with new ones. Check the battery installation for proper placement of the battery polarities. Measurement values appear too high or too low. Blood pressure varies constantly. Many factors including stress, time of day, how you wrap the cuff, may affect your blood pressure. Review the sections “Before Taking a Measurement” and “Taking a Measurement”.
