Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as ordinary
household waste, and must be disposed of according to the applicable
local regulations.
Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to the device.
To measure blood pressure, the wrist must be squeezed by the cuff hard
enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause
pain, numbness or a temporary red mark to the wrist. This condition will
appear especially when measurement is repeated successively.
Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.
If you feel strong pain during the measurement, please remove the cuff.
Measuring blood pressure too frequently may cause harm due to blood
flow interference.
Avoid tightly folding the cuff for long periods, as such treatment may
shorten the life of the components.
When the AC adapter is used, make sure that it can be readily removed
from the electrical outlet when necessary.

Notes for Accurate Measurement
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place your arm on a table with your
palm facing upward and the cuff at the same level as your heart.
Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you
are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will
reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure
reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. See page 8 for the
description of the symbols.
This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults. Consult with
your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use
this device unattended.
This automatic blood pressure monitor’s performance may be affected by
excessive temperature or humidity, or altitude.
English 19
What is an The IHB/AFib Indicator?
When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm during the measurements,
the IHB/AFib indicator will appear on the display with the measurement
values.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
IHB/AFib indicator frequently.
What Is The AFib?
The heart contracts due to electrical signals occurring in heart and sends
blood through the body. Atrial fibrillation (AFib) occurs when the electrical
signal in the atrium becomes confused and leads to disturbances in the
pulse interval. AFib can cause blood to stagnate in the heat, which can
easily create clots of blood, a cause of stroke and heart attack.

About Blood Pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.
Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs
when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of
mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the
fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one
is still at rest and before eating.
What is Hypertension and How is it Controlled?
Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended,
can cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack.
Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with
medication under a doctor’s supervision.
To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:
Do not smoke Exercise regularly
Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups
Maintain proper weight
Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home?
Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause
apprehension and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher
than that measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of
outside influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's
readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.

Blood Pressure Variations
An individual’s blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis.
It may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In
hypertensive individuals, variations are even more pronounced. Normally,
the blood pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels
during sleep. So, do not be overly concerned by the results of one
measurement.
Take measurements at the same time every
day using the procedure described in this
manual to get to know your normal blood
pressure. Regular readings give a more
comprehensive blood pressure history. Be
sure to note the date and time when
recording your blood pressure. Consult your
doctor to interpret your blood pressure data.
