2.Preparation 6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the hour. The hour is set and the minutes digits flash on the display. 7. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the minutes. The minutes settings is set. Press the Date/time setting button ( ) to turn the monitor off. When adjusting the date and time, press the Date/time setting button ( ) to turn the monitor on, follow the steps above, and press the O/I START button to turn the monitor off.
Operating instructions 3.Using the Unit 3. Using the Unit 3.1 How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. Notes: • Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or cold. • Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. • Do not move or talk during measurement.
3.Using the Unit Notes: • Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate results. • You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is recommended.) Incorrect Posture • Arched back (leaning forwards) • Sitting cross-legged • Sitting on a sofa or at a low table so that you tend to lean forward These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to strain or the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
3.Using the Unit 3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff Notes: • Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results. • Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading. • You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different.
3.Using the Unit 2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. Note: If the cuff is not assembled, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop.
3.Using the Unit 3. Position the arm correctly. 1) The air tube should run down the inside of your forearm and be in line with your middle finger. 2) The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1 to 2 cm above your elbow. 3) Apply the cuff to your upper arm so that the coloured marker (blue arrow under tube) is centred on the middle of your inner arm and points down the inside of the arm. Taking measurements on the right arm Apply the cuff so that the air tube is at the side of your elbow.
3.Using the Unit 3.3 Taking a Reading 1. Press the O/I START button to turn on the unit. All symbols appear on the display. The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the unit automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This unit 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 and release the O/I START button.
3.Using the Unit 3. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit off. Note: If you forget to turn the monitor off, it will automatically turn off after two minutes. Notes: • Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor. • Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement.
3.Using the Unit Using the Guest Mode The monitor stores measurement values for one user in the memory. The guest mode can be used to take a single measurement for another user. No measurement values are stored in the memory when the guest mode is selected. 1. Press and hold the O/I START button for 3 seconds. The Guest symbol ( the display. ) appears on 2. Release the O/I START button. The cuff starts to inflate automatically. Note: To stop the inflation, press the O/I START button.
3.Using the Unit Important: • If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will blink when the measurement result is displayed. Recent research suggests that the following values can be used as a guide to high blood pressure for measurements taken at home. Systolic Blood Pressure Above 135 mmHg Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
3.Using the Unit What is Irregular Heartbeat? Normal Heartbeat An irregular heartbeat is a heartbeat rhythm that varies by Pulse more than 25% from the average heartbeat rhythm detected while Blood pressure the unit is measuring the systolic Irregular Heartbeat and diastolic blood pressure. Short Long Pulse If such an irregular rhythm is detected more than twice during Blood pressure measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.
3.Using the Unit 3.4 Using the Memory Function This unit has a memory capable of storing 90 sets of readings. Every time you complete the measurement, the unit automatically stores the blood pressure and pulse rate. If there are three readings within 10 minutes of the last reading, the average of the three readings is displayed. Note: When 90 sets of readings are stored in memory, the oldest set will be deleted to store a new set. 1. Press the Memory button ( ).
3.Using the Unit 2. While the average value is displayed, press the Memory button ( ) again. The result from the most recent measurement is displayed. The date and time are alternately displayed. Note: If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will blink when the measurement result is displayed. Refer to section 3.3.
3.Using the Unit 3. Press the Memory button ( ) repeatedly to cycle through the previous measurement results. Keep the button pressed down to cycle rapidly through the previous results. If the irregular heartbeat symbol was displayed at the time of a measurement, this is displayed when that result is displayed. 4. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit off. If you forget to turn the unit off, it will automatically shut itself off after two minutes.
3.Using the Unit To Delete All the Values Stored in Memory You cannot delete individual stored readings, all the readings in the unit will be deleted. 1. Press the Memory button ( ) to turn the monitor on. 2. Press the Memory button ( ) again. While holding the Memory button ( ), press the O/I Start button down for approximately 5 seconds until the digital display appears as it does in the illustration to the right. 3. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit off.
4.Quick Reference Guide 4. Quick Reference Guide If you are using this device for the first time, please read carefully chapter 3 of this instruction manual. To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Note: Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm. 1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your heart. 2.

10.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure 10.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart’s cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.
