 Diastolic pressure
 Average morning / evening blood pressure
 Heart rate

The monitor is able to store up to 100
measurements per user (maximum 2 users) and
equipped with the latest Bluetooth Smart
technology to achieve reliable transmission
linkage with a mobile device or tablet PC that is

POSITIONING THE ARM CUFF

Ensure the arm cuff is correctly placed to obtain
an accurate reading.

If your physician has diagnosed you with

poor circulation in your left arm, use your right
arm.

1. Choose the position from which you wish to
measure, sitting or lying down.

The air tube should run down, between the inside
of your forearm and the side of your chest, in line
with your middle finger.

5. Fasten the arm cuff so it fits snugly. If the cuff
is too loose, the measurement will not be
accurate.

PREPARING TO TAKE BLOOD PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT

You can choose to take blood pressure while
sitting or lying down. Below are some helpful tips
for taking a measurement.

 Be sure to set the clock before taking your

first measurement, or whenever you replace
the batteries, so that the date and time are
stored in the memory with your history. For
instructions, refer to Monitor Settings
section.

pressure. Try to take a 15-minute rest before
you begin.

 Do not lean backward or bend your wrist

inward while taking a measurement.

 Do not sit cross-legged and avoid talking or

moving your fingers and hand while taking a
measurement. Rapid movements or other
activities may alter your reading.

 Wait at least an hour before taking your blood

pressure if you have just eaten a large meal.

 Do not smoke or drink alcohol before taking

your blood pressure.

 Do not measure your blood pressure if you

are under stress.

 Remove all accessories from your arm.
 Wait at least 3 minutes between

measurements. This allows your blood

circulation to recover.
For a meaningful comparison, try to measure
under similar conditions. For example, take daily
measurements at approximately the same time,
on the same arm, or as directed by a physician.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

If you want the monitor to synchronize with the
application of your mobile device. Please do
preparation before starting a measurement.

1. Relax your arm.

Digits will appear on the screen.

5. Once the pressure reaches a certain level, it
will slowly deflate until the results are
displayed on the LCD.

NOTE To stop the measurement process at
any time, press .

6. The monitor automatically attempts to send
the record wirelessly to your mobile device.
If data transmission fails, Err 1 will appear
while a voice prompts.

7. To conserve battery life, monitor will turn off
1 minute after taking a measurement.
Alternatively, press to manually turn off
monitor.
