SAFETY INFORMATION To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual. SAFETY SYMBOLS USED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY INFORMATION OPERATING THE DEVICE (continued) 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. Read the Special Conditions section (page 30) of the instruction manual if your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg. Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the cuff is applied. Operate the device only as intended.
SAFETY INFORMATION RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK Do not plug or unplug the power cord into the electrical outlet with wet hands. Do not overload power outlets. Plug the device into the appropriate voltage outlet. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor. Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water. Store the device and the components in a clean, safe location.
BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations: 1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes prior to taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes prior to 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 arm. 5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

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. An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that varies by less than 25% from Pulse the average rhythm or 25% more than the Blood average rhythm detected while the monitor pressure is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
DISPLAY SYMBOLS The American Heart Association1 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.
DISPLAY SYMBOLS HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( ) TAKING A MEASUREMENT The Heartbeat Symbol flashes on the display during the measurement. The Heartbeat Symbol flashes at every heartbeat.

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 left arm.
APPLYING THE ARM CUFF 3. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your left arm on a table so the cuff is level with your heart. Thumb Grip 4. Hold the thumb grip on the cuff securely with your right hand. Cloth Fastener 5. Turn the palm of your left hand upward.
APPLYING THE ARM CUFF 6. Apply the cuff to your left upper arm so the blue stripe is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger. The air tube runs down the inside of your arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2" above your elbow. Blue Stripe 1/2 inch (1 - 2 cm) Air Tube 7. Wrap the cuff firmly in place around your arm using the cloth fastener.
APPLYING THE ARM CUFF APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM When taking a measurement using the right arm use this instruction for Step 6 on page 25. Apply the cuff to your right upper arm so the thumb grip is centered on the inside of your inner arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2'' above your elbow. Thumb Grip NOTE: Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube. This will restrict the flow of air to the cuff.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT The monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. In rare circumstances when a higher inflation may be necessary, the monitor automatically re-inflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher than the initial inflation and restarts the measurement. WARNING Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT 1. 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. This monitor detects the pulse during inflation. Do not move your arm and remain still until the entire measurement process is completed. NOTE: To stop the inflation or measurement, press the START/STOP button. The monitor will stop inflating, start deflating and will turn off. 2.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT 3. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed. 4. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off. NOTE: The monitor will automatically turn off after two minutes. WARNING Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.
TAKING A MEASUREMENT 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. • The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates.
USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION The monitor is designed to store the blood pressure and the pulse rate in the memory every time a measurement is completed. The monitor automatically stores up to 60 sets of measurement values (blood pressure and pulse rate). When 60 sets of measurement values are stored, the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent values. The monitor also stores 8 weeks of Morning Averages and 8 weeks of Evening Averages.
USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION TO DISPLAY THE MEASUREMENT VALUES 1. Press the Memory button ( The Average Symbol ( reading is shown. ). ) appears on the display when the average 2. Press the Down button ( ) to display the most recent set of measurement values on the screen. The values are displayed from the most recent to the oldest. NOTE: The date and time are alternately displayed with the measurement values. Alternating display Press the Up or Down button to display the next set of values.
USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION MORNING AND EVENING AVERAGES The monitor calculates and displays a weekly average for measurements taken in the morning ( ) and evening ( ). The monitor stores 8 weeks of Morning Averages and 8 weeks of Evening Averages. NOTE: The week begins Sunday at 4:00 AM MORNING AVERAGES Morning averages are based on the first reading. Measurement times must be between: 4:00 AM and 9:59 AM. EVENING AVERAGES Evening averages are based on the last reading.

(See page 13 for details.) Depending on your measurement results, these may be displayed in the following combinations.
USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION The Morning Hypertension Symbol ( ) appears if the weekly average for morning measurements is above 135/85. In this case the Morning Hypertension Symbol ( ) is displayed when the Evening Average is displayed, regardless of the values for the Evening Average. TO DELETE ALL VALUES STORED IN THE MEMORY You cannot partially delete values stored in the memory. All values will be deleted. 1.
