Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detector
This unit is equipped with an Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detector which allows those who have
an irregular heartbeat to obtain accurate measurements alerting the user of the presence of an
irregular heart beat during the measurement.
Note:
It is strongly recommended that you consult your physician if the IHB icon (IHB) appears
often.
Installing Batteries
1. Press down and lift the battery cover in the direction of the arrow
to open the battery compartment.
2. Install or replace 4 “AA” sized batteries in the battery compart-
ment according to the indications inside the compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover by clicking in the bottom hooks first,
then push in the top end of the battery cover.
4. As the supplied batteries are for test only, they may be discharged earlier than batteries you
buy in stores. Replace the batteries in pairs. Remove batteries when unit is not in use for ex-
tended periods of time.
You need to replace the batteries when:
1. low battery icon appears on display.
2. the ON/OFF/START key is pressed and nothing appears on display.
Caution:
1. Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose them together with the household
garbage.
2. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Batteries or damage from old batteries are
not covered by warranty.
3. Use exclusively brand batteries. Always replace with new batteries together. Use
batteries of the same brand and same type.
Using the AC Adapter
1. Connect the AC adapter with the AC adapter jack in the back of the unit.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the socket. Please use the compatible AC adapters. (AC adapters with
required voltage and current indicated near the AC adapter jack.)
Caution:
1. Please unload the batteries when operating with the AC mode for a longer period of time.
2. AC adapters are optional. Please contact the distributor for the compatible AC adapters.
3. Use only the authorized AC Adaptor with this blood pressure monitor. Information for the au-
thorized AC adaptor, please refer to APPENDIX 1.
Applying the Cuff
1. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff.
2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The color strip indication should be positioned closer
to you with the tube pointing in the direction of your arm (Fig.1). Turn your left palm upward
and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm above the inner side of the
elbow joint. Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of the cuff.

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. 3,4).
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).
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).
6. This cuff is suitable for your use if the arrow falls within the solid color line as shown on the
right (Fig. 7). If the arrow falls outside the solid color line, you will need a cuff with other cir-
cumferences. Contact your local dealer for additional size cuffs.
Measurement Procedures
Important Notes:
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 15 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.
