Warning Signs & Safety Statements

ATTENTION!!
Read user’s manual before use.

Type BF applied part.

Health and Blood Pressure Values

 Classification of Blood Pressure by the WHO:

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the
Inter-national Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed
the Blood Pressure Classification shown as below.

Warning

 If the event of the cuff pumping up and not stopping,

please open the cuff at once.

 Do not measure repeatedly for a long period of time.
 This device is not supposed to be used if your wrist has

any wound or injury.

 If locks connectors are used in the construction of

tubing, there is a possibility that they might be
inadvertently connected to intra-vascular fluid systems,
which case may allow air to be pumped into a blood
vessel.

 Take batteries out of the housing if the unit is not to be

used for a long time.

 Do not use different type, date or brand-name batteries,

and this may lead to an incorrect reading.



Leaving the batteries in the blood pressure monitor for a
long period and not using the device may damage the
main unit.

Suggestions before Measuring Blood Pressure

1. It is recommend that persons has one of the diseases
as heart troubles, kidney trouble, hyper-tension,
diabetes, arteriosclerosis or frustration problem of blood
vessel, please consult your physician before and during
using the blood pressure monitor to determine if your
wrist blood pressure accurately reflects your actual
blood pressure.

2. Please sit or lie down for at least 5-10 minutes before
taking a measurement.

3. Avoid eating, smoking, exercising, bathing and drinking
(alcohol/caffeine/or tea) for at least 20-30 minutes
before taking a measurement, and avoid talking during
a measurement.

4. Be sure the wrist cuff is at the same level as your heart.

5

5. Stress raises blood pressure. Keep calms and relax
yourself during a measurement.

6. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurements.

7. Keep the records for your physician as reference.
Reminded that one measurement does not provide you
with real blood pressure value, only long-term records
will reveal the long-term trend of your blood pressure.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day for consistency.

Installing/Replacing Batteries

1. Slide the battery compartment to remove it.

2. Place the batteries (4 “AA” Alkaline batteries) in the
compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and -) marked inside. All the display symbols appear for
1 secondand then return to standby mode.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Note: When (Low Battery indicator) appears on the
display, the batteries are weak.

Warning:

a. Be sure to follow the instruction above when plugging

the adapter and installing or replacing the batteries.

b. We recommend you to use the ALKALINE batteries for

the best performance and the longest device life.

c. Use only brand new batteries of the required size and

DO NOT mix using old and new or different type of
batteries together.

d. Remove the batteries if not using the blood pressure

monitor for an extended period (i.e., 3 months). The

8

batteries can leak chemicals then damage the electronic

parts.
e. Immediately replace run-down batteries with new ones.
f. Check the batteries periodically and replace them when

necessary.

Program Date and Time

1. Continuously press TIME button for 2 seconds until

“2009” shown on the screen and starts to flash.

2. Press MEMO/▲ button or SCAN/▼ button to set the

number representing the Year.

(You can press and hold MEMO/▲ or SCAN/▼ buttons

for about 2 seconds, the number of the Year will be

displayed in the faster speed.)

3. Press TIME button to confirm the Year setting. Then the

number representing the Date will flash.

4. In the same manner, set the Month, Date, Hour and

Minute.

Note: After replacing batteries, always check the Date/Time
is properly set or not first, then use the blood pressure
monitor. If the batteries are removed for more than 40
seconds, you must reset the Date/Time.

How to Apply the Arm Cuff

1. Insert the air plug of the arm cuff into the air jack of the

blood pressure monitor.

2. The cuff should be assembled correctly when it is

removed from the box. If it is not, pass the end of the

cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to

form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of

the cuff loop.

3. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the sewn hook

9

material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the

metal D-ring will not touch your skin.

4. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of

the cuff should be approximately 1/2” above the elbow.

The cuff tubing should be positioned along the middle of

the inside of your arm as shown.

5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are

tightened evenly around your arm.

6. When the cuff is positioned correctly, press the sewn

hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff.

7. The cuff should be wrapped so that it fits snugly and

stays in place. You should be able to fit one finger

10

between the cuff and your arm.

Correct Measurement Position

It is extremely important for the measure values, which that
the cuff is at the same level of the heart. Higher or deeper
position will give deviations from the true value.

Measurement while sitting down

1. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and rest your

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

2. Relax your arm and turn your palm upward.

3. Make sure there are no kinks in the air tubing.

4. After taking deep breaths for several times before

measurement, take a natural breath, and then relax your
body.

How to Take A Measurement

Please read and follow directions in the section
“Suggestions before Measuring Blood Pressure” and “How
to Apply the Arm Cuff” before taking a measurement.

1. Press POWER button to turn on the unit.

All the symbols displayed for a couple seconds then the
number 0 will flash.

2. Press POWER button again, the cuff automatically

11

inflates to approximately 170mmHg. (50mmHg higher

than the average systolic blood pressure reading.)

3. When the cuff reaches your correct inflation level, it

begins to deflate automatically with decreasing numbers

shown on the display. The Heart Symbol flashes as

the onset of oscillation signals.

* If during deflation the blood pressure monitor senses
that higher pressure is required to measure the user’s
blood pressure, the device will stop deflation and pump
again to reach the workable pressure (up to the max.
280 mmHg). If the inflation continues and doesn’t stop,
please untie the cuff immediately or turn off the unit by
pressing the POWER for 1 second.

4. The monitor exhausts the residual air when the

measurement is completed. The Heart Symbol

stops flashing and your blood pressure and pulse will

appear on the display. In the mean time, the unit

announces the measured value of Systolic, Diastolic

and Pulse. After taking the measurement, the latest

measured readings will always be displayed before the

power is turned off.

Note:
 Wait for at least 3 minutes if you want to take another

measurement. Waiting allows your blood vessels to
bounce back to normal status. More rest time may be
required between measurements depending on
individual physiological conditions.

12

 While starting the unit each time, it will give a voice

prompt. If you don’t need, please off the announcement.

How to Use the Memory Features

The blood pressure and pulse measured and displayed are
automatically stored in the memory. The blood pressure
monitor can store up to 80 measurements. If more than 80
measurements have been taken, the earliest measurement
will be erased and replaced by the most recent
measurement.

1. Review the Average Value and previously

measurements:

Press MEMO/▲ button, the unit first display the average

values of Systolic, Diastolic and Pulse. (Averaged from

all memorized readings.) Press MEMO/▲ button again

to review the measurement from the latest to the earlies.

The latest measurement (M 01) appears when you

press MEMO/▲ button. M 01 is the latest reading

measured. The Systolic, Diastolic, Pulse and Date/Time

of the measurement will be displayed. Press MEMO/▲

button to repeatedly review other memorized readings.

The readings will be displayed as M 02, M 03, M 04 …

etc. You can press SCAN/▼ button to switch to the

automatic display mode.

2. Scan all previous measurements:

Press SCAN/▼button, the unit will display all

measurements one by one in one in one second interval.

In the automatic display mode, You can press MEMO/▲

button to switch to the single display mode.
