Parts Identification

Familiarize yourself with the main components.

Main Unit: Contains the LCD display, START/STOP button, MEMORY button, and USER button.
Wrist Cuff: Includes the air tube, metal D-ring, and position marker line.
LCD Display: Shows systolic/diastolic pressure, pulse, user icon, memory index, date/time, and warning symbols.
Battery Compartment: Located on the back of the main unit.
Air Plug: Connects the cuff to the main unit.

Initial Setup & Battery Installation

Power on the device; set date and time.

Open the battery compartment cover on the back.
Insert 2 AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
Close the cover. The display will show all segments briefly.
Press the MEMORY button to set the current date and time. Use the START/STOP button to change values.
Press the USER button (U1/U2) to select your memory profile.

CAUTION! Use only alkaline batteries. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for 3 months or more.

Applying the Wrist Cuff

Proper cuff placement is critical for accurate readings.

Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring. Avoid caffeine, exercise, and smoking for 30 minutes prior.
Remove tight clothing from your left wrist. (Use left wrist for best accuracy).
Place the cuff on your bare wrist with the display facing up.
Wrap the cuff snugly around your wrist. The edge should be 0.5 to 1 inch (1-2 cm) from your palm.
Secure the cuff with the cloth closure.
Rest your elbow on a table so the cuff is at heart level. The position marker line should be aligned with the middle of your palm.

Tip: Keep your wrist and fingers relaxed. Do not talk or move during measurement.

Taking a Measurement

Follow these steps for a proper reading.

With the cuff properly applied, press the START/STOP button. The cuff will inflate automatically.
Remain still and quiet. The cuff will gradually deflate as it measures.
Your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will appear on the display.
The reading is automatically saved to the selected user's memory.
To turn the unit off, press the START/STOP button again, or it will power off automatically.

WARNING! Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped around your wrist, as this may damage the device.

Understanding the Display

Pulse Icon	Heart rate (pulses per minute)
U1 / U2	Selected User (1 or 2)
Memory Index	Number indicating which memory slot is displayed
Clock Icon	Date and Time of the stored reading
Irregular Heartbeat Icon	Appears if an irregular rhythm is detected during measurement
Hypertension Indicator	Appears if reading exceeds 135 mmHg systolic or 85 mmHg diastolic
