Please review the previous sections on proper place-
ment of the cuff and proper arm position.
1. After the cuff has been properly placed on either the
right or left arm, press the ON/OFF button. All
symbols on the LCD display will appear momentarily.
Note : The battery symbol will also appear at this
time for checking power level. This does not
indicate a low battery unless the low battery
symbol remains on continuously.
2.
3.
If you see a downward arrow symbol, press the exhaust
valve located between the inflation bulb and the
tube to release the residual pressure in the cuff.
After "0" is displayed, you can pressurize the cuff by
squeezing the bulb until the pressure value is 50
mmHg passed your suspected systolic pressure.
The unit will automatically deflate after you stop pres-
surizing the cuff. If you see an upward arrow symbol
being displayed, that means you need to inflate the
cuff to a higher pressure than you did the first time.
If you do not see this symbol, it means it is taking
your measurement. Please remain calm and still to
avoid causing any measurement error.
4. The unit will completely deflate when measurement is
finished. The systolic, diastolic pressure and pulse
will be displayed.
If for any reason you would like to stop the mea-
surement in progress, just press the exhaust valve to
release the pressure and turn off the unit.
If during a measurement the power drops to an
insufficient level, the unit will end the measurement
and display the low battery symbol. Please replace the
batteries and repeat the measurement.
If the unit cannot detect your pulse, it will end the
measurement attempt. Wait a few minutes, make sure
that the cuff is positioned properly, and try again.
The unit will automatically shut off 3 minutes following
a reading, or it can be turned off manually by pressing
the ON/OFF button.
How to Apply the Wrist Cuff
(These directions are for either
right or left hand measurements.)
1. With your palm side up, apply the
cuff so that the cuff's edge should
be approximately 1cm from your
palm. You can use the width of
your forefinger as a simple way
to measure the distance between
the cuff and palm.
2. Do not apply wrist unit on top of a
shirt sleeve.
3. Wrap the cuff snugly around your
wrist and attach using the fastener.
The top and bottom edges of the
cuff should be tightened evenly
around your wrist.
4. Any gap between the wrist and cuff
will affect the result of measurement.
5. The fabric cuff can be folded down
for ease of viewing the display.
