Explanantion
Systolic
blood
pressure
Maximum blood pressure,
see also section systolic and
diastolic pressure.
Diastolic
blood
pressure
Minimum blood pressure,
see also section systolic and
diastolic pressure.
Heart rate
Number of heartbeats per
minute (pulse is typically
equivalent to heart rate).

Irregular heart rate detection
during the measurement.
User IDs
Start measurement for
selected user, and transmit
the measurement result.
Movement
detector
Moving during the
measurement will result in
an inaccurate result.

Classification of measured
blood pressure following
WHO system (see 'Blood
pressure classification').

When you measure 3 times a day starting with a
fully charged battery, the device can be used for
about 20 days until a recharge is needed. In case
of normal use, the battery can be charged around
300 times.
Note: Data will be lost when the battery is
completely empty.
Charging
The battery of this device is a built-in rechargeable
li-polymer battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh.
Use the original DC charger supplied to charge the
battery. The DC charger transforms 100-240V AC
to 6V DC.
When the battery is empty, it takes approx. 2 hours
to fully charge the battery of the device.
1
Put the small DC plug in the socket of the
device (Fig. 2).
2 Put the DC charger in the electrical outlet.
To ensure an optimal life time of the battery in the
product it is recommended to store it 50% charged
and re-charge every 3 months.

Using the blood pressure monitor
This tubeless device uses the oscillometric method
to measure blood pressure and heart rate.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a
“zero point” equivalent to the atmospheric
pressure. Then it starts inflating the cuff. During the
measurement, the device detects the pressure
oscillations in the blood vessels generated by the
heart pumping blood through the body. These
pressure oscillations are used to determine systolic
and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate.
While measuring heart rate, the device also
determines the small variations between the
individual heartbeats. If these variations exceed a
pre-defined threshold, the irregular heart rate
detector symbol lights up.
