in view. Insert the cuff tubing connector into the left side of the monitor,
Fig. 1 .
2. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing upward.
Elevate your arm so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart,
Fig. 2 . Relax your left hand.
3. Press the POWER Button to turn the unit on.
4. This unit will run a self-test, Fig. 3. Select the memory bank (1, 2 or 3)
to store the reading in by pressing the MEMORY button. Press
POWER to confirm your selection.
5. This unit will show the last measured
reading, Fig. 4 , or if there is no previous
measurement, “0” as shown in Fig. 5 .
6. When the display appears as shown,
Fig. 6 , the monitor is ready. The cuff will
automatically begin to inflate.
7. Once the cuff inflates to the appropriate pressure level, the
measurement will begin.
8. The unit will begin to automatically deflate and the numbers
appearing on the display will decrease.
9. When all the air is deflated, the measurement is complete. The unit
will display your blood pressure (systolic and diastolic)
measurements and pulse rate,
Fig. 7 . Record your readings in a chart.
10. Your measurements will automatically be saved in memory.
11. Press the POWER button to turn the power off, or the unit will
automatically shut off after approximately 1 minute.
12. Disconnect the tubing from the monitor prior to storing.
NOTE: This monitor inflates the cuff to approximately 190 mmHg or 40
mmHg higher than the last systolic pressure stored in memory. If the
system detects that the cuff needs additional pressure, it will
automatically reinflate to approximately 40 mmHg higher than the last
pressure level.

Taking Your Blood Pressure Reading
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the appropriate cuff:
Standard Cuff fits arm circumference 11-3/4” – 16-1/2” (30-42 cm)
Large Cuff fits arm circumference 16-1/2" – 18-7/8" (42-48 cm)
NOTE: If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm, please modify the
following instructions and apply the cuff to your right arm. Your physician can tell you which arm
is best for you to use.
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with the cuff placement.
2. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor.
3. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing UP
and AWAY from you, Fig. 1 . The metal bar on the cuff should be
to the left of the tubing.
4. Widen or open the cuff by pulling or rolling th
bottom of the cuff towards the right, Fig. 2 . This
should open the cuff, creating a cylinder. Do not
extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
5. Insert your arm into the cuff (cylinder). Position the
( ) mark over the main artery (on the inside of
your arm), Fig. 3 .
6. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned
approximately one inch ABOVE the elbow joint, Fig. 4 .
7. Reaching underneath your left arm with your right hand,
pull the end of the cuff towards your body to tighten
the cuff,
Fig. 5 . Wrap and secure the cuff making sure
that the ( ) mark remains as shown, Fig. 3 .
8. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm.
You should be able to insert two fingers between your arm and
the cuff.
NOTE: The cuff size is suitable for use when the vertical “Index”
mark is within the horizontal “OK” range. A different sized cuff is
needed if the “Index” mark is outside of the “OK” range.
