detects pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat
pulsatile, which is used to determine the systolic, mean and
diastolic pressure, and also your pulse rate. Any motion during this
period will result in an incorrect measurement. After all readings are
determined and displayed on LCD, the measurement is finished
and the wrist cuff automatically deflates.

GETTING STARTED

Installing and replacing the batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Slide off the battery cover (Figure 5a).

2. Install the batteries by matching the

correct polarity, as shown

Note:  Replace the batteries whenever the weak battery

mark (   ) shows, the display is dim, or the display does

not illuminate when the power is on. Replace all the
batteries at the same time – it is dangerous to mix old
and new batteries.

Contact your local waste disposal authority for
instructions on how to dispose of used batteries. Used
batteries can be harmful to the environment, and should
not be thrown out with household trash.

Setting the date, time, and measurement unit

It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure
monitor, so that a time stamp can be assigned to each record
that is stored in the memory.

To set the date, time, and measurement unit:

1. Press and hold SET for 2 seconds to enter the setting

mode.

The setting order is as follows:  12/24 hour format, hour,
minute, month/day or day/month format, month, date,
and measurement unit (mmHg or kPa).

2. Press  

 to increase a value or change the setting.

3. Press SET to accept the change and switch to the next

setting.

4. When you are finished, press ON to exit the setup

menu.
