Taking a Measurement

Follow these steps for accurate readings.

Sit comfortably with back straight, feet flat on floor.
Place cuff on bare wrist, aligning artery marker with artery.
Rest elbow on table, palm up, raising wrist to heart level.
Press START/STOP button. Cuff will inflate automatically.
Remain still and quiet until measurement completes and cuff deflates.
Read results on display: Systolic, Diastolic, Pulse.
Device will automatically store reading (if memory is on).

WARNING! Do not move or talk during measurement. Ensure cuff is snug but not too tight.

Understanding Results

Interpret display symbols and readings.

Symbol/Reading	Meaning
SYS (Systolic)	Pressure when heart beats (higher number)
DIA (Diastolic)	Pressure when heart rests between beats (lower number)
Pulse	Heart rate in beats per minute
Hypertension Indicator	Flashing symbol if reading exceeds 135/85 mmHg
Irregular Heartbeat Icon	Appears if irregular rhythm is detected
User Icon	Indicates which user profile is active (1 or 2)
Date/Time Stamp	Shows when reading was taken
Low Battery Icon	Indicates batteries need replacement
Error Codes (E1, E2, etc.)	Refer to troubleshooting section

Note: Normal blood pressure is typically below 120/80 mmHg. Consult your doctor for your personal target range.

Memory Function
