SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your blood pressure monitor,
basic precautions should always be
followed. Please read and follow all
instructions and warnings before using
this product. Save these instructions for
future reference.
• Please note that this is a home
healthcare product only and it is not
intended to serve as a substitute for
the advice of a physician or medical
professional.
• Do not use this device for diagnosis
or treatment of any health problem or
disease. Measurement results are for
reference only. Consult a healthcare
professional for interpretation of
pressure measurements. Contact your
physician if you have or suspect any
medical problem. Do not change your
medications without the advice of your
physician or healthcare professional.
• This product is not suitable for people
with arrythmias. This device may have
difficulty determining the proper blood
pressure for individuals with diabetes,
poor circulation of blood, kidney
problems or for users who have
suffered from a stroke.
• Consult your physician before measuring blood pressure at the wrist if you
have any of the following conditions:
Severe hypertension, severe diabetes,
severe arteriosclerosis, severe kidney
disease or vascular disease that may
compromise circulation.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers.
• Electromagnetic interference: The device
contains sensitive electronic components.
Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic
fields in the direct vicinity of the device
(e.g. mobile telephones, microwave
ovens). These may lead to temporary
impairment of measurement accuracy.
43
• Use blood pressure monitor only for its
intended use.
• Do not wrap the cuff around body parts
other than your wrist.
• This unit is intended for use in measuring the blood pressure and pulse rate of
adults. Do not use this device on infants
or those who cannot express their own
consent. This unit should not be
operated by children.
• Use only 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries for
power supply.
Blood pressure measurements determined
with this device are equivalent to those
obtained by a trained observer using the
cuff/stethoscope ausculatory method, within the limits prescribed by the American
National Standard,
automated sphygmomanometers
Manual, electronic, or
.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on
the artery walls while blood flows through
the arteries. The pressure measured when
the heart contracts and sends blood out
of the heart is systolic (highest) blood
pressure. The pressure measured when
the heart dilates with blood flowing back
into the heart is called diastolic (lowest)
blood pressure.
Why Measure Your
Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems,
those associated with high blood pressure
are very common. High blood pressure
dangerously correlates with cardiovascular
diseases. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying
those at risk.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Stage 2 Hypertension >160 >100
Stage 1 Hypertension 140~159 90~99
Prehypertension 120~139 80~89
Normal <120 <80
__
The U.S.Department of Health and
Human Services and the National
Institutes of Health have developed a
blood pressure standard that identifies
areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure.
This standard, however
line as blood pressure varies among different people, age groups, etc.
Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults
For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood pressure, are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not have other
conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease.
To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall
into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.
There is an exception to the above definition of high blood
pressure for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high blood
pressure for those individuals.
, is a general guide-
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk
Category Indicator to visually indicate the
assumed risk level of each reading based upon
these standards. See page 22 for more information on this feature.
It is important that you consult with your physician
regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal
blood pressure range as well as the point at
which you will be considered at risk. For reliable
monitoring and reference of blood pressure,
keeping long-term records is recommended.
HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses Smart Measure™ technology to
detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a
button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block
the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Smart Measure™ technology
enables the monitor to automatically inflate and
deflate to the appropriate level for each individual.
Please note that any muscle movement during
inflation or deflation will cause measurement error.
When measurement is complete, the monitor will
87
display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,
and pulse readings.
NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART
Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's Risk Category Indicator will alert you if your
reading falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1
hypertension, or stage 2 hypertension categories.
See page 22 for more information on the Risk
Category Indicator.

located on the side of the monitor. The display will
show a blinking number showing the month.
2. Change the month by pressing the button.
Each press will increase the number by one in
a cycling manner. Press the Set button again
to confirm the entry, and the screen will show
a blinking number representing the day of
the month.
3. Change the date and time as described in
Step 2 above, using the button to change

APPLYING THE CUFF
1. Remove all watches, wrist jewelry, etc. prior
to attaching the wrist monitor. Clothing
sleeves should be rolled up and the cuff
should be wrapped around bare skin for
correct measurements.
2. Apply cuff to left wrist with
palm facing up as shown
in Fig. A.
3. Make sure the edge
of the cuff is about
1/4”~1/2” (1 cm) from the
palm as shown in Fig. B.
4. In order to insure accurate
measurements, fasten the
hook and loop strap
securely around your wrist
so there is no extra space
between the cuff and the
wrist as shown in Fig. C.
If the cuff is not wrapped
tight enough, the measurement values will not be
accurate.
5. If your physician has
diagnosed you with poor
circulation in your left
arm, place the cuff around
your right wrist as shown
in Fig. D.

CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE
1. Place your elbow on a table
so that the cuff is at the same
level as your heart as shown
in Fig. A.
Note: Your heart is
located slightly
below your armpit.
Relax your entire body
especially between your
elbow and fingers.
2. If the cuff is not at the same
level as your heart or if you
cannot keep your arm completely still throughout the
reading, use a soft object
such as a folded towel to
support your arm as shown
in Fig. B.
3. Turn you palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and
take 5-6 deep breaths.
Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken
as shown in Fig. C.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
• Position the monitor at the same level as your
heart during measurement to ensure accurate
readings.
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat
and is in constant fluctuation throughout
the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be
affected by the position of the user, his or
her physiologic condition and other factors.
For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after
exercising, bathing, eating, drinking
beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or
smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that
you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will
have greater accuracy. You should not be
physically tired or exhausted while taking
a measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or
move your arm or hand muscles.
• See page 26 for additional notes regarding
your blood pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.

functions. The checking procedure will
be completed after about 3 seconds.
3. After all symbols disappear, the display
will show “00”. The monitor is “Ready to
Measure” and will automatically inflate
the cuff to begin measurement. The cuff
will then begin deflating as measurement
continues.
Note: The monitor will re-inflate auto-
matically if the system detects
that your body requires more
pressure for measurement.
