Main Unit: Contains the display, control buttons, and air hose connector.
D-Ring Cuff: Wraps around the upper arm. The metal D-ring secures the cuff.
START/STOP Button: Initiates and stops the measurement.
MEMORY Button: Accesses stored readings and user selection.
Display: Shows systolic/diastolic pressure, pulse, icons, and date/time.
Air Hose: Connects the cuff to the main unit.
AC Adapter Jack: For connecting the optional AC adapter.
Battery Compartment: Holds 4 AA batteries.

CAUTION! Do not bend or kink the air hose. Do not disassemble the main unit.

Initial Setup

Prepare the device for first use.

Insert Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back. Insert 4 new AA batteries, observing polarity. Alternatively, plug in the AC adapter.
Set Date & Time: Press and hold the MEMORY button for 3 seconds. Use the START/STOP button to adjust values and MEMORY to confirm and move to the next setting.
Select User: Briefly press the MEMORY button to toggle between User 1 and User 2 icons on the display.
Apply the Cuff: Place cuff on left upper arm (bare skin) 1-2 cm above elbow. Ensure the air tube runs down the center of your arm. Pull the end of the cuff through the metal D-ring and secure snugly.

Taking a Measurement

Follow these steps for an accurate reading.

Sit in a chair with feet flat on the floor and back supported.
Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
Ensure the cuff is correctly applied (see Initial Setup).
Press the START/STOP button. The monitor will inflate automatically.
Remain still and quiet. Do not talk or move your arm.
The cuff will deflate automatically. Your reading will display.
The monitor will automatically store the reading for the selected user.
To turn the unit off, press the START/STOP button again, or it will power off automatically after 1 minute.

WARNING! Do not over-tighten the cuff. If you feel pain or numbness, stop the measurement immediately.

Understanding the Display

Icons and symbols on the LCD screen.

Symbol	Meaning
SYS / DIA / PULSE	Displays Systolic Pressure, Diastolic Pressure, and Pulse Rate.
User 1 / User 2 Icon	Indicates which user profile is active for memory storage.
Hypertension Indicator	Appears if systolic reading is 135 mmHg or higher, or diastolic is 85 mmHg or higher.
Irregular Heartbeat Icon	Appears if an irregular rhythm is detected during measurement.
Body Movement Icon	Appears if excessive movement is detected; the measurement may be inaccurate.
Memory Icon (M)	Appears when reviewing stored readings.
AVERAGE	Displayed when showing the average of the last three readings.
Low Battery Icon	Indicates batteries need replacement.
Date & Time	Shows current date and time or the timestamp of a stored reading.

Memory Function

Stores and recalls readings for two users.

Select User: Briefly press the MEMORY button to choose User 1 or User 2 before measuring.
Automatic Storage: Each successful measurement is stored with date and time for the selected user (up to 100 readings each). Oldest readings are overwritten when memory is full.
Reviewing Memory: Press and hold the MEMORY button for 2 seconds while the unit is off. The most recent reading displays. Press START/STOP to scroll through previous readings.
Average Reading: While reviewing memory, if three readings were taken within the last 10 minutes, the AVERAGE of those three will display first.
Clearing Memory: With the unit off, remove the batteries for 10 seconds. All memory will be erased.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures long life and accuracy.

Cleaning: Wipe the main unit and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use alcohol, benzene, or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No display	Dead batteries, loose adapter	Replace all batteries. Ensure AC adapter is firmly connected.
Error Code "E" appears	Cuff not attached, air leak, or blockage	Ensure cuff is connected. Check hose for kinks or leaks. Retry measurement.
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol flashes	Pulse irregularity detected during measurement	Remain still and take another reading. If symbol appears frequently, consult your physician.
Body Movement Symbol appears	Movement during inflation/deflation	Keep arm still and relaxed. Retry measurement.
Readings are inconsistent or too high/low	Incorrect cuff position, recent activity, talking	Ensure cuff is at heart level. Rest for 5 min. Do not talk. Take 2-3 readings 1 min apart and average the last two.
Memory does not store readings	Memory full, wrong user selected	Clear memory or old readings will be overwritten. Check user icon before measuring.

Reset: Remove batteries/adapter for 10 seconds to reset the microprocessor.
