Display Symbols: Systolic Pressure, Diastolic Pressure, Pulse Rate, User Indicator (1 or 2), Memory Full, Irregular Heartbeat, Hypertension, Low Battery, Date/Time.

CAUTION! Ensure cuff is correct size for your arm circumference (22-32 cm). Using wrong size may cause inaccurate readings.

Initial Setup

Insert batteries or connect AC adapter before first use.

Insert Batteries: Open battery compartment, insert 4 AA batteries observing polarity.

Taking a Measurement

Follow these steps for accurate readings:

Sit comfortably with feet flat on floor, back supported.
Rest arm on table with palm up, cuff at heart level.
Wrap cuff snugly around bare upper arm, artery marker over brachial artery.
Press START/STOP button - monitor will inflate automatically.
Remain still and quiet during measurement.
Readings display when measurement complete - systolic, diastolic, pulse.
Cuff deflates automatically; device stores reading if memory is on.
Wait 2-3 minutes before removing cuff or taking another reading.

WARNING! Do not move, talk, or cross legs during measurement as this may affect accuracy.

Understanding Results

Normal: Systolic < 120 mmHg AND Diastolic < 80 mmHg (Green zone)
Prehypertension: Systolic 120-139 OR Diastolic 80-89 (Yellow zone)
Hypertension Stage 1: Systolic 140-159 OR Diastolic 90-99 (Orange zone)
Hypertension Stage 2: Systolic ≥ 160 OR Diastolic ≥ 100 (Red zone)
Hypertensive Crisis: Systolic > 180 OR Diastolic > 120 - Seek immediate medical attention

Irregular Heartbeat Symbol: Appears if irregular rhythm detected during measurement. Consult physician if this appears frequently.

Memory Function

Stores up to 100 readings per user with date/time stamp.

Select User: Press MEMORY button to choose User 1 or User 2.
View Memory: Press and release MEMORY button to scroll through stored readings.
Average Reading: Last 3 readings taken within 10 minutes automatically averaged.
Clear Memory: Press and hold MEMORY button for 5 seconds while in memory mode.
