This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring
during medical emergencies or operations.
If the cuff pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg),
the unit will automatically deflate. Should the cuff
not deflate when pressures exceeds 40 kPa
(300mmHg), detach the cuff from the wrist and
press the
button to stop inflation.

CARING FOR YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
To ensure you receive the maximum benefit from using
this product, please observe the following care guidelines.
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force generated by the blood
against the walls of arteries during cardiac contraction
and relaxation
•
•
•
When not in use, store the unit in a dry place away
from direct sunlight.
(e.g., the pumping action of the heart).
Do not immerse the unit in water. If it comes in contact
with water, dry it immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
What are systolic pressure and diastolic
pressure?
Use a soft, slightly moistened cloth to wipe off the
unit and cuff. Do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaning agents, as these may cause damage.
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the
heart, blood pressure reaches its maximum value. This
highest pressure in the cycle is known as systolic
pressure. When the heart relaxes between heartbeats,
the lowest blood pressure is diastolic pressure.
•
•
Remove the batteries whenever you are planning
to store the unit for a long period of time.
When replacing batteries, use new batteries as
specified in this user manual. Do not mix new and
old batteries.
What is mean arterial pressure (MAP)?
•
•
Do not place objects such as stickers on the wrist
cuff or unit, as these may impair the measurement.
The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average
pressure that forces blood through the arteries. It is
not the average of the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure; rather, MAP corresponds to a state of
balance between the compressive and expansive
forces acting on the arterial wall when there is no
distension outward or inward. MAP is an excellent
way to evaluate the stress on the walls of your blood
vessels, and can be used to evaluate excessive load
on the cardiovascular system. Show your MAP history
to your doctor to provide additional information that
may help him or her understand your situation.
Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust,
temperature changes, or humidity. Such treatment may
result in malfunction, a shorter electronic life span,
damaged batteries, or distorted parts.
•
Do not tamper with the internal components. Doing
so will terminate the product warranty and may
cause damage.
•
•
The unit contains no user- serviceable parts.
If you no longer need to use this product, protect
the environment by bringing it to your dealer or
designated collection point for proper disposal.

Why measure your blood pressure?
International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for
the management of hypertension, Journal of
Hypertension, 1999, 17(2): 151-183.
Blood pressure measurement can highly reflect one's
health condition. High blood pressure is potentially
linked to serious illnesses such as stroke, heart
disease and kidney failure.
NOTE
•
Blood pressure is considered high when either the
diastolic or systolic blood pressure value exceeds
the normal range. When a patient’s systolic and
diastolic blood pressures fall into different
Since there is no symptom most of the time, many
hypertensive people do not realize they are at risk
until their health is seriously threatened.
categories, the higher category should apply.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
•
Only a physician can tell you your normal blood
pressure range and the point at which you are at
risk. Consult your physician to obtain these values.
If the measurements taken with these products fall
outside the range, consult your physician.
Figure 3 illustrates the blood pressure classification
made by World Health Organization (WHO) and
International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999.
Grade 3 hypertension(severe)

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout
the day?
Grade 2 hypertension(moderate)
100
Individual blood pressure varies greatly both on a
daily and a seasonal or temperature basis. These
variations may be more pronounced in hypertensive
patients. Normally the blood pressure rises while at
work and is at its lowest during sleep.

GETTING STARTED
INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES
1. Slide off the battery cover.
2. Install the batteries by matching the correct polarity,
as shown below. Always use the correct battery
type (2 alkaline LR03 AAA-size).
3. Replace the cover.
HOW THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
WORKS
This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring
method to detect your blood pressure. Before every
measurement, the unit establishes a "zero pressure"
equivalent to the air pressure.
NOTE
Replace the batteries whenever the weak
battery mark shows, the display is dim, or the
Then it starts inflating the wrist cuff to 180mmHg or
higher until it senses that it has blocked your blood in
the artery. After that, the deflation process starts,
during which time the unit detects pressure
oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which
is used to determine the systolic, mean and diastolic
pressure, and also your pulse rate. Any motion during
this period will result in an incorrect measurement.
After all readings are determined and displayed on the
LCD, the measurement is finished and the wrist cuff
automatically deflates.
display does not illuminate when the power is on.
Replace all the batteries at the same time - it is
dangerous to mix old and new batteries.
Contact your local waste disposal authority for
instructions on how to dispose of used batteries. Used
batteries can be harmful to the environment, and
should not be thrown out with household trash.

1. Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc.) from
your left wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your left arm, use your right wrist.
SETTING DATE, TIME AND MEASUREMENT UNITS
It is important to set the clock before using your blood
pressure monitor, so that a time stamp can be
assigned to each record that is stored in the memory.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
3. Apply the cuff to your left wrist with your palm facing up.
1. When the unit is off, press and hold SET for 2
seconds to enter the setting mode.
4. Position the edge of the cuff about 0.4 inches (1cm)
from the bottom of your palm.
5. Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra
room between the cuff and your skin. If the cuff is too
loose, the measurement will not be accurate.
2. The setting order is as follows: 12/24 hour format,
hour, minute, year, month/day or day / month
format, month, date, and measurement unit (kPa or
mmHg).
3. Press
or
to increase / decrease a value or
change the setting.
4. Press SET to accept the change and switch to the
next setting.
5. When you are finished, press to exit the setup menu.
POSITIONING THE WRIST CUFF
It is important to properly position the wrist cuff to
ensure that you receive an accurate reading.

Be sure to set the clock before taking your first
measurement, or whenever you replace the
batteries, so that the date and time are stored in
the memory with your history. For instructions, refer
to p. 6.
To take a measurement:
1. Choose the position you from which you wish to
measure - sitting or lying down.
2. Position your body so that your wrist is parallel with
your heart, using the chart and illustrations below
as a guide.
It is important to relax when taking your blood
pressure. Try to take a 15-minute rest before you
begin.
•
•
Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward
while taking a measurement.
IF YOU
ARE...
THEN...
Avoid talking or moving your fingers and hand while
taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other
activities may alter your reading.
Sitting
down
with an
armrest
Place your elbow on a table, using an
object as a support under your
forearm. Your wrist should be parallel
with your heart with the palm facing up.

•
Wait at least an hour before taking your blood
pressure if you have just eaten a large meal.
Do not smoke or drink alcohol before taking your
blood pressure.
Do not measure your blood pressure if you are
under stress.
Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements.
This allows your blood circulation to recover.
Sitting
down
with no
armrest
Place your arm across your chest with
the wrist parallel to your heart. Hold
your elbow with the other hand.
For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under
similar conditions. For example, take daily
measurements at approximately the same time, on
the same wrist, or as directed by a physician.

To stop the measurement process at any time, press
The unit automatically switches off 1 minute after taking
a measurement. To save the battery life, press as
soon as you are finished to turn off the unit.
