1.  To recall stored blood pressure readings from memory, simply 

press the Memory key. The last set of memorized readings will 
be displayed.

 2.  Another press of the Memory key will recall the previous set of 

readings.

3.  All readings stored in memory will be displayed with its sequence 

number.

12.  Recalling Values from Memory

13.  Clearing Values from Memory

 Press and hold the Memory key for approximately 5 seconds, then 
the data in the memory zone can be erased automatically.

If any abnormality should arise during use, please check the 
following points.

14.  Troubleshooting

1.   

The unit contains high-precision assemblies. Therefore, avoid extreme 

temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Avoid dropping or strongly 

shocking the main unit, and protect it from dust.

2.   Clean the blood pressure monitor body and the cuff carefully with a slightly 

damp, soft cloth. Do not press. Do not wash the cuff or use chemical cleaner 

on it. Never use thinner, alcohol or petrol (gasoline) as cleaner.

3.   Leaky batteries can damage the unit. Remove the batteries when the unit is 

not used for a long time.

4.   The unit should not be operated by children so to avoid hazardous situations.

5.   If the unit is stored near freezing, allow it to acclimate at room temperature 

before use.

6.   This unit is not field serviceable. You should not use any tool to open the 

device nor should you attempt to adjust anything inside the device. If you 

have any problems, please contact the store or the doctor from whom you 

purchased this unit or please contact Rossmax International Ltd.

7.   As a common issue for all blood pressure monitors using the oscillometric 

measurement function, the device may have difficulty in determining the 

proper blood pressure for users diagnosed with common arrhythmia (atrial or 

ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation), diabetes, poor circulation of 

blood, kidney problems, or for users suffered from stroke, or for unconscious 

users.

8.   To stop operation at any time, press the ON/OFF/START key, and the air in the 

cuff will be rapidly exhausted.

protection against electrical shocks.

*Specifications are subject to change without notice.

•  Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are 

feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.

•  If  the  monitor  is  stored  at  very  low  temperature  (near  freezing), 

have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before 
using it.

•  Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.

1.  Press the ON/OFF/START key. All displays will appear for approxi-

mately one second before returning to “0”.

2.  The unit will automatically inflate to the appropriate inflation level 

based on the user’s pulse oscillations. Measurement will then be

-

gin. It is important to remain still and quiet during measurement. 
Any significant movement may affect measurment results.

3.  

When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic and 
pulse will be shown simultaneously and be saved automatically in 
memory system. Up to 90 memories can be saved.

4.  Measurement is now completed. Press the ON/OFF/START key 

to turn off the power. If no key is pressed, the unit will shut off 
automatically in 1 minute.

This monitor will re-inflate automatically to approximately 220 mmHg 
if the system detects that your body needs more pressure to measure 
your blood pressure.

Note:

 1.  This monitor automatically switches off approximately 1 

minute after last key operation.

         2.  To interrupt the measurement, simply press the Memory or 

ON/OFF/START key; the cuff will deflate immediately.

         3.  During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or 

hand muscles.

EE / Measurement Error:

 Make sure the L-plug is securely 

connected to the air socket and measure again. Wrap the cuff 
correctly and keep arm steady during measurement. If the error 
keeps occurring, return the device to your local distributor or service 
center.

E1 / Air Circuit Abnormality:

 Make sure the L-Plug is securely 

connected to the air socket on the side of the unit and measure 
again. Another possible cause can be due to the short circuit of the 
microphone embedded in the cuff. If the errors still occur, return the 
device to your local distributor or service center for help.

E2 / Pressure Exceeding 300 mmHg:

 Switch the unit off and 

measure again. If the error keeps occurring, return the device to 
your local distributor or service center.

E3 / Data Error:

 Remove the batteries, wait for 60 seconds, and 

reload. If the error keeps occurring, return the device to your local 
distributor or service center.

Er / Exceeding Measurement Range:

 Measure again. If the error 

keeps occurring, return the device to your local distributor or service 
center.

No display when the ON/OFF key is pressed:

 Re-insert the 

batteries in the correct positions.

Note:

  If the unit still does not work, return it to your dealer. Under no 
circumstance should you disassemble and repair the unit by your-
self.

9.   Once the inflation reaches 300 mmHg, the unit will start deflating rapidly 

for safety reasons.

10.  Please note that this is a home healthcare product only and it is not intended 

to serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional.

11.  Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health problem or 

disease. Measurement results are for reference only. Consult a healthcare 

professional for interpretation of pressure measurements. Contact your 

physician if you have or suspect any medical problem. Do not change your 

medications without the advice of your physician or healthcare professional.

12.  

Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive electronic 

components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct 

vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These may 

lead to temporary impairment of measurement accuracy.

13.  Dispose of device, batteries, components and accessories according to local 

regulations.

14.  This monitor may not meet its performance specification if stored or used 

outside temperature and humidity ranges specified in Specifications.
