1. LCD Display (Upper): Shows systolic pressure and pulse rate.
2. LCD Display (Lower): Shows diastolic pressure and date/time.
3. Symbol Indicators: Hypertension, Irregular Heartbeat, Memory, Average, Error.
4. Cuff: Ensure proper size (22-42 cm circumference).

CAUTION! Handle air tube carefully; do not bend sharply or pull forcefully.

Initial Setup

Insert batteries or connect AC adapter, set date/time, apply cuff properly.

1. Install batteries: Open battery compartment, insert 4 AA batteries observing polarity.
2. Set date/time: Press SET button, use START/STOP to adjust values, press SET to confirm.
3. Cuff application: Place cuff on bare upper arm 1-2 cm above elbow, align artery marker with brachial artery.
4. Secure cuff: Pass end through D-Ring, tighten so 1-2 fingers fit between cuff and arm.
5. Positioning: Sit comfortably with back supported, feet flat, arm supported at heart level.

Tip: Rest for 5 minutes before measuring. Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising 30 minutes prior.

Taking a Measurement

Follow proper positioning and measurement technique for accurate results.

1. Sit quietly in a chair with back supported for 5 minutes before measuring.
2. Apply cuff to left upper arm (unless instructed otherwise by physician).
3. Place arm on table so cuff is at heart level.
4. Press START/STOP button - unit will inflate automatically.
5. Remain still and quiet during measurement - do not move arm or talk.
6. Reading displays when measurement complete - unit deflates automatically.
7. Record reading if desired, or it automatically stores in memory.
8. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another measurement on same arm.

WARNING! Do not inflate cuff when not wrapped around arm. Excessive pressure may cause injury.

Understanding Your Readings

• Normal: Systolic less than 120 mmHg AND Diastolic less than 80 mmHg
• Elevated: Systolic 120-129 mmHg AND Diastolic less than 80 mmHg
• Hypertension Stage 1: Systolic 130-139 mmHg OR Diastolic 80-89 mmHg
• Hypertension Stage 2: Systolic 140 mmHg or higher OR Diastolic 90 mmHg or higher
• Hypertensive Crisis: Systolic higher than 180 mmHg AND/OR Diastolic higher than 120 mmHg

Symbol Indicators: Hypertension symbol appears if reading exceeds 135/85 mmHg. Irregular heartbeat symbol appears if detected during measurement.

Memory Function

Stores 200 readings with date/time stamps. Access and manage memory data.

1. View memory: Press MEMORY button to scroll through stored readings.
2. Average function: Automatically calculates average of last 3 readings taken within 10 minutes.
3. Clear memory: Hold SET button for 3 seconds while in memory mode to clear all data.
4. Memory full: "FULL" appears when memory reaches 200 readings.

Note: Memory is maintained when batteries are replaced if done within 3 minutes.

Care & Maintenance

Clean and store properly to ensure accuracy and longevity.

1. Clean cuff with mild soap and damp cloth - do not immerse in water.
2. Clean main unit with dry soft cloth only.
