Troubleshooting
Cautionary Notes
Specifications
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation
throughout the day.
• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or her
physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour
after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or
smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as
measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should
not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken.
• Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet flat on the floor during meas
-
urement.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
• 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 User-Switching key to select memory zone 1, memory zone 2 or guest
mode. After a memory zone is selected, press the ON/OFF/START key to reset the
monitor so it can start measurement in the chosen memory zone.
2. Press the ON/OFF/START key. All digits will light up, checking the display func-
tions. The checking procedure will be completed in 2 seconds.
3. After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking “0”. The monitor is ready
to measure and will automatically inflate the cuff slowly to start measurement.
4. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will exhaust the pressure inside.
Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on
the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into the pre-des-
ignated memory zone.
5. In order to enhance the probability of pulse arrhythmia detection by the PARR
technology, measurement repetitions are recommended.
6. If Bluetooth® has been activated, the data is automatically transferred to the App
after successful completion of the pairing process, please see
Data Transfer via
Bluetooth®
.
This blood pressure monitor will re-inflate automatically to higher pressure if the
system detects that more pressure is needed to take a blood pressure measure-
ment.
Note: 1. This monitor automatically switches off approximately 1 minute after last
key operation.
2. To interrupt the measurement, simply press the ON/OFF/START key; the cuff will
deflate immediately.
Measurement Procedures
3. Center the tube over the middle of the arm. Press the hook and loop material together
securely. Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and your arm. Position the
artery mark (Ø) over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) (Fig.
,
). Note: Locate
the main artery by pressing with 2 fingers approximately 2 cm above the bend of your
elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.
4. Plug in the cuff connecting tube into the unit (Fig.
).
5. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
Make sure the tube is not kinked (Fig.
).
6. This cuff is suitable for your use if the arrow falls within the solid color line as shown on
the right (Fig.
). If the arrow falls outside the solid color line, you will need a cuff with
other circumferences. Contact your local dealer for additional size cuffs.
