Position Arm: Rest arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
Start Measurement: Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will inflate automatically.
Remain Still: Do not move or talk during inflation and measurement.
Read Results: Systolic, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will display. The cuff will deflate automatically.

Tip: Take measurements at the same time each day for consistent tracking.

Understanding Results

Systolic/Diastolic Pressure: Displayed in mmHg. Refer to WHO bar graph on screen for classification (Normal, Prehypertension, Hypertension).
Pulse Rate: Displayed in beats per minute (BPM).
Hypertension Indicator: Lights if systolic ≥135 mmHg or diastolic ≥85 mmHg.
Irregular Heartbeat Icon: Appears if an irregular rhythm is detected during measurement. Consult your physician if this appears frequently.
Average of Last 3 Readings: Press the MEMORY button once after a measurement to see the average of the last three readings taken within 10 minutes.

Memory Function

The monitor stores 100 readings for each of two users.

Select User: Before measurement, press the USER button to select User I or User II.
View Memory: Press the MEMORY button twice to enter memory mode. Use START/STOP to scroll through stored readings for the selected user.
