Helpful information
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts on
the arteries. This force is constantly changing as
the heart beats. When the heart contracts, blood
pressure reaches its highest value. This is called
systolic blood pressure. When the heart relaxes
between beats, the value of blood pressure is
lower. This is called the diastolic blood pressure.
The unit of measure for blood pressure is the mil-
limeter of mercury, abbreviated
For example, an individual’s blood pressure may
be measured as 120 mmHg (systolic) and 80
mmHg (diastolic). This would be spoken as “120
over 80” and written as “120/80”. Remember
that blood pressure varies throughout the day.
Food intake, smoking, time of day, stress, level
of exercise and many other factors can affect it.

mmHg.
What is High Blood Pressure?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condi-
tion where an individual’s blood pressure
remains high over a long period of time.
Untreated, hypertension can cause many serious medical problems including strokes and
heart attacks. To control hypertension, the
American Heart Association recommends that
you not smoke, reduce fat and salt intake, main-
tain proper weight, exercise and get regular
physical check-ups.
Why Is It Important to Measure Your Blood
Pressure at Home?
Having your blood pressure taken at the doctor’s
office may cause you to become nervous, thus
artificially raising your reading. Having the ability
to take your blood pressure at home makes it easy
to record a log of your daily readings. This will
help you gain a greater understanding of your
blood pressure reading and the factors that effect
it. Be sure that you share your information with
your physician.
Hints for Accurate Measurement
1) Relax and try to remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before a measurement.
2) Remove shirts or other tight-fitting garments
on the wrist (for example wristwatches) and
upper arm before applying the wrist cuff.
3) Refrain from eating, smoking, and drinking
(especially alcoholic beverages) before a
measurement since these activities can
affect your blood pressure.
4) Remember that blood pressure varies continuously throughout the day. Try to take your
blood pressure at the*same time each day.
5) Do not be concerned with the results of one
measurement. Many measurements, recorded over a long period of time, will provide a
better indication of your blood pressure.
6) Please relax for 5 to 10 minutes before taking
another measurement.
7) Many factors can affect your blood pressure
-
such as exercising, eating, talking, moving,
nervousness, environment and temperature
changes. Emotional stress can cause an
increase in blood pressure. Daily fluctuations

Using a Wrist Unit
Taking your blood pressure at the wrist may
give different readings than from the upper arm
-
as is done in most doctor offices. Because of
the location of measurement and differences in
arterial diameters, a healthy person may see a
maximum difference oft/- 10

Please note: Some individuals with hypertension,
diabetes, kidney disorders, arteriosclerosis or
poor circulation may see a significant difference
in blood pressure readings taken from the wrist
as compared to readings from the upper arm. It
is recommended that you consult with your
physician concerning the use of this monitor.
Correct Method of Measurement
To obtain the most accurate blood pressure
measurement, please follow these important,
directions.
l Be seated in a chair with back support.
l Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at the
same level as your heart.
l Use the storage case or similar item to sup-
port the forearm. (see diagram A)
l Place both feet on the ground.
Storage Case

IMPORTANT: The wrist cuff must be at the
same level as your heart, or accurate measurement will not be possible. (Your heart is located
slightly below your left armpit).

Preparation Before Taking a Measurement
Battery Installation/Replacement
1) Slide the battery cover
off in the direction of
the arrow.
2) Install or replace the
two AA batteries, noting
the proper orientation
of positive (t) and negative (-) terminals of
the batteries in the
battery compartment.
Alkaline batteries are
recommended.
3) Replace the battery
cover.
4) If the Low Battery Symbol appears on the
display, replace both batteries.
5) Remove the batteries if the unit will not be
used for an extended period of time.
How to Apply the Wrist Cuff
(These directions are for either right or left hand
measurements.)
1) With your palm side up,
apply the cuff so that the
cuff’s edge should be
approximately
inch from your palm. You
can use the width of your
forefinger as a simple
way to measure the distance between the cuff
and palm. (diagram

Taking a Measurement
Please review the previous sections on proper
placement of the cuff and proper arm position.
1) After the cuff has been properly placed on
either the right or left wrist, press the ON/OFF
button. All display symbols will appear
momentarily. Note: The low battery symbol
will also appear at this time. This does not
indicate a low battery unless the low battery
symbol remains on continuously.
2) After the display reads

3) The cuff will automatically inflate to an appropri-
ate pressure, and will then begin to slowly deflate
as it takes the measurement The cuff will be quite

snug for a short while; this is normal. Try to remain
relaxed, refrain from talking, and be as still as possible during the measurement Note: If the unit
determines that the initial inflation pressure was
insufficient, it will re-inflate to a higher pressure.
4) After the measurement cycle is finished, the
unit will release any remaining air in the cuff.
The systolic and diastolic pressure will be dis-
played for 5 seconds and then be replaced by
the pulse rate. The blood pressure reading and
pulse rate will then be displayed alternately.
For any reason you feel a need to end a measurement, just press the ON/OFF button to turn
off the monitor and release the cuff pressure.
If during a measurement the power drops to an
insufficient level, the monitor will end the measurement and display the low battery symbol.
Please replace the batteries and repeat the
measurement.
If the monitor cannot detect your pulse, it will
end the measurement attempt. Wait a few minutes, make sure that the cuff is positioned properly, and try again.
The monitor will automatically shut off 3 minutes
following a reading, or it can be turned off man-
ually by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Memory Function
Memory Input
Your Sunbeam Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor has
a memory feature. When a valid measurement is
made, the reading data (systolic, diastolic and
pulse rate) will be stored in the memory auto-
matically as soon as the unit is turned off,
automatically shuts off, or when another
measurement is initiated. The monitor has the
capacity to store 14 readings, and also computes
an average of all memory readings. When more
than 14 readings are taken and recorded to
memory, the oldest ones will be lost.
Memory Recall
To recall your last reading, press the MEMORY
button. A “1” will appear in the lower right hand
corner of the display which represents the
newest memory reading. When the memory button is pressed again, the display will show “2’:
which represents the second newest reading,
and so on. The memory will recall up to 14 previous readings. When the letter “A” appears in
the display, the average value of your systolic,
diastolic and pulse rate based on the memory
readings is shown.
Memory Erase
When the batteries are taken out of the monitor,
all records of readings saved in memory will be
erased. NOTE: When taking a measurement,
the MEMORY button is inactive.
