Using the Monitor
1. Installing / changing the batteries
Remove the battery cover and insert new batteries into the battery
compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+) and (-) are observed.
Use only R6P, LR6, AA or similar type batteries.
• Insert the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. If not, the device
will not work.
• When (LOW BATTERY mark) appears in the display, replace all
batteries with new ones at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries.
It may shorten the battery life, or cause the device to malfunction.
• (LOW BATTERY mark) does not appear when the batteries are drained.
• Battery life varies with the ambient temperature and may be shorter at low
temperatures.
• Remove the batteries if the device is not to be used for a long period of time.
The batteries may leak and cause a malfunction.
• Use the specified batteries only. The batteries provided with the device are
for testing monitor performance and may have a shorter life.
2. Connecting the air hose
Insert the air connector plug into the air socket firmly.
ENGLISH 4
Using the Monitor
3. Attaching the arm cuff
Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about
2-3 cm above the elbow, as shown. Place
the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing
may cause a faint pulse, and result in a
measurement error.
Constriction of the upper arm, caused by
rolling up a shirt sleeve, may prevent
accurate readings.
4. How to take proper measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
• Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table.
• Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
• Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
• Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
• Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath.
Rest twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
5. Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be
alarmed).
6. After measurement
After measurement, press the START button to turn off the power.
Remove the cuff and record your data.
Note
The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns off the power
automatically one minute after measurement.
Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person.
ENGLISH 5
Measurements
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
2. Set the PRESSURE switch to a value that will be 30 to 40 mmHg above the
expected systolic value and press the START button.
• When the START button is pressed, all of the display symbols will appear
for about one second.
• When the " 0 " is flashing, the device is calibrating its zero point. If there is
still some air in the arm cuff, it will be exhausted at this time.
• The micro pump will then pressurize the cuff.
Note
The cuff will become very tight. This is normal.
• If the START button is pressed again during pressurization or during the
measurement, the pump will stop and the air will be released from the cuff.
3. When pressurization is complete, the automatic exhaust mechanism will
gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff and the Measurement in Progress
mark will appear along with the current pressure reading. This mark will
flash in unison with the pulse of the person being monitored.
ENGLISH 6
Measurements
• Remain still while the device is in operation.
• When a measurement is made with insufficient pressure, the device will
pump again to a higher pressure.
4. When the measurement is complete, the buzzer sounds and the air is
automatically released from the cuff. The systolic pressure, the diastolic
pressure readings, and the pulse rate are displayed.
5. Turning the power off
Press the START button to turn the power off. The device will remain in
standby mode.
6. Subsequent measurements
If a subsequent measurement is required, turn off the power and turn it on
again. When the "0 " appears, the device is ready for another measurement.
Note
Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person.
7. Automatic power-off function
If the device is left on after a measurement, it will turn off automatically after
about one minute. It may be turned off at any time by pressing the START
button.
ENGLISH 7
Measurements
• Accurate measurement cannot be made if the exhaust velocity is outside
the range of 2 to 5 mmHg. This can be determined by watching the
display each time the "Measurement in Progress" mark flashes. Note the
reading as the "Measurement in Progress" mark flashes.
Notes for proper measurement
Sit in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a
table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as
your heart.
• Relax for about five or ten minutes before starting 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 heart beat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heart beat, 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 the section on the
descriptions of display symbols for details.
• This blood pressure device is intended for use by adults only. Consult
with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not
use this device unattended.

About Blood Pressure
1. 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 taking food or drink.
2. What is hypertension and how is it controlled?
Hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure. If left unattended, it 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 help prevent hypertension or keep it under control:
• Do not smoke.
• Reduce salt and fat intake.
• Maintain proper weight.
• Exercise regularly.
• Have regular physical checkups.
3. Why measure blood pressure at home?
Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension
or fear 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.
ENGLISH 9
About Blood Pressure
4. WHO blood pressure classification
Standards for assessment of high blood pressure, without regard to age, have
been established by the World Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the
chart below.
5. 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, and know your normal blood pressure. Multiple 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.
