This completely automatic instrument quickly measures your blood
pressure and pulse rate. The measurement reading is clearly displayed
on a large digital panel.

Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method
of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects
your blood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts the
movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not
need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE TAKING

A MEASUREMENT

1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before

taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before
taking the measurement.

2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements

during stressful times.

3. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.

4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.

5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm

on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.

7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your

physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood
pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

8. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the

arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on
your individual physical characteristics.

HOW TO INSTALL THE BATTERIES

1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction

of the arrow.

2. Install 4 “AA” size batteries so the

+ (positive) and – (negative) polarities
match the polarities of the battery
compartment as indicated.

3. Replace the battery cover.

NOTES: If the Low Battery Indicator appears on the

display, replace all four batteries.
Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended.

Remove the batteries if the monitor will
not be used for an extended period of time.

If the batteries are removed for a long period
of time, Date / Time display setting will need
to be reset. Refer to “How to Set the
Date and the Time”.
