HEALTH INFORMATION

Knowing your blood pressure trend can help you tell whether

your body is in good condition or not. Human blood pressure

naturally increases after reaching middle age. This symptom is a

result of continuous aging of blood vessels. Further causes

include obesity, lack of exercise, and cholesterol (LDL) adhering

to the blood vessels. Rising of blood pressure accelerates

hardening of the arteries, and the body becomes more

susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction. The World

Health Organization (WHO) has published the following

guideline of blood pressure range:

Grade 3 Hypertension ("too high")

Grade 2 Hypertension ("moderate")

Grade 1 Hypertension ("mild")

High – Normal

Normal

Optimal

Systolic

Diastolic

BEFORE USE

Your monitor comes with batteries already installed. When

replacing them, use ONLY 1.5V AAA size alkaline batteries.

Please use alkaline batteries for the best performance and the

longest life.

Low Power Warning:

The monitor will

remind you when the power is getting low by

displaying two different messages:

• The Battery Symbol appears with

your test result. This means it is

nearly time to change the batteries

(although still 30 more measurements

can be made).

• The Battery Symbol flashes by itself.

This means you must change the

batteries before making any

measurements.

9

Batteries Installation and Replacement:

1. Please make sure the device is

turned off. Press the edge of the

battery cover and push upward.

Note: Replacing the batteries does

not affect previous test results stored

in the device, but you may need to

update the settings.

2. Remove the battery cover then

remove the batteries inside.

Note: Do not use different type, date

or brand name batteries together.

Use only new batteries of the

required size and type.

3. Insert two 1.5V AAA size alkaline

batteries. Make sure the "+"

(positive) and "–" (negative) ends

match those indicated in the battery

compartment. If inserted correctly,

you will hear a "beep."

10

Setting the Device:

Your monitor comes with the time, date,

and measurement units preset. These

options may be changed any time to fit

your needs. They also need to be set

again after you change the batteries.

1. With the monitor turned off,

remove the battery cover as

shown in previous page. Press the

Set Button located in the battery

compartment to enter Setting

Mode.

2. Press the Set Button to select what you would like to

change. The selected one will be flashing. Press the

Memory Button to make change.

3. Save the Changes by pressing the Set Button and move

Note: To move the number faster, hold the Memory Button

down.

3. Press the Set Button to set the year.

The date will appear on the display

with the month flashing.

4. Repeat Steps 2 – 3 to set the month,

day, hour, minute, measurement

units (in mmHg or KPa), and buzzer

(on/off).

5. After choosing the buzzer setting

(on/off), press the Set Button to save

the settings and turn off the device.

Note: You may also press the Power

Button any time to turn off the device

and exit the Setting Mode.

USING THE DEVICE

MEASURING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Suggestions before Measuring:

• Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol, and cigarettes at least 30

minutes before measurement.

• Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before

measurement.

• Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.

• Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.

• Please take a 5-10 minute break between measurements.

• Waiting allows the engorged blood vessels to return to

normal status. This break can be longer if necessary,

depending on your physical conditions.

• Keep the records for your physician as reference.

13

Applying the Wrist Cuff:

1. Hold your left arm in front of you with

your palm facing up. Slide the cuff

onto your wrist. Make sure the

monitor is on the inside of your wrist

with the display in easy view.

2. Wrap the cuff comfortably around

your wrist. The top and bottom edges

of the cuff should be tightened

evenly around your wrist.

Note: The top margin of the monitor

should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6

cm to 1.3 cm) below the ball of

thumb.

3. When the cuff is positioned correctly,

fold the loose end back and secure it

in place by pressing the pile material

firmly against the hook material.

Note: Blood pressure varies from

two hands naturally. Always measure

your blood pressure on the same

wrist.

14

Testing Your Blood Pressure:

1. Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.

Take the measurement while sitting.

2. Apply the wrist cuff (as described

earlier).

3. Press the Power Button and place

your arm in front of your chest. Relax

and make sure the device is at the

same height as your heart. Holding

your left elbow with your right hand

helps you hold still during

measurement. Remain still and do not talk or move during

the measurement.

4. After turning on the device, the cuff

automatically inflates and Inflation

Symbol appears. You will see the

number increasing on the display.

After the cuff pressure is reached,

the cuff begins to deflate. As it

deflates, the Deflation Symbol will

appear on the display. You will also

see the number decreasing and

Pulse Symbol flashing on the

display when a pulse is detected.

15

Testing Your Blood Pressure (continued):

5. After completely deflation, the

monitor displays the systolic

pressure, diastolic pressure, and

heart rate.

6. Press the Power Button to turn off

the device.

Notes:

• It is extremely important that the cuff is at the same level

of the heart. If the wrist is relatively lower or higher than

the heart, the blood pressure measured will be higher or

lower (respectively) than the actual value.

• If a higher pressure value is needed, the monitor will stop

deflation and inflate again.

• If you press the Power Button during the measurement,

the monitor will turn off.

16

MEMORY

Your monitor stores the most recent 352

sets of readings. You can review them in

The number 1 will appear first,

followed by the latest reading.

3. Press the Memory Button again to

view the other results in the order of

time and date taken. After viewing

Memory Button again to resume to

the latest test result. When the

memory is full, the oldest results are

deleted as new ones are added.

4. To exit the memory anytime, press

the Power Button to turn off the

monitor.

17
