USING THE WRIST CUFF
1. Wrap the cu snugly around the left wrist with palm
facing up and the monitor facing you. Do not make
too tight.
2. Fold the remaining part of the wrist cu back out of
the way.
3. Make sure that you leave approximately 1/4” to
1/2” from the palm and that there is not extra space
between the cu and wrist.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
It is extremely important that the cu be at the same
height as the heart. Having the cu higher or lower may
cause inaccurate results.
BEFORE MEASUREMENT
Wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking
alcoholic or caeinated beverages, or smoking before
taking a measurement.
Sit quietly and rest for 15 minutes; for any
subsequent measurements, it is recommended to
wait a minimum of 5 minutes.
Take your blood pressure at normal body
temperature.
DURING MEASUREMENT
Do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
Do not cross your legs. Sit with feet flat on the floor.
Do not touch cu or monitor during measurement.
Position the blood pressure monitor on your wrist.
Place your elbow on the table and rest the back of your hand on the device
storage case or other object.
Rest your wrist on the armrest until it’s at the same height as your heart.
Relax your hand and turn your palm upward.
Do not use this device if your wrist has any wound or injury.
Once the measurement has started, keep your wrist steady until the
measurement is complete.
1. Press START/STOP button to turn the monitor ON.
2. Press USER/
+ button to choose User 1 or 2.
3. With the cu wrapped around your wrist, press the START/STOP button. Do
not inflate the cu unless it is wrapped around your wrist. All digits will light
up to check the display function. The checking procedure will be completed
after about 1.5 seconds.
4. After all symbols disappear, the display will show “00”. The monitor is “Ready
to Measure” and will automatically inflate the cu to begin measurement.
5. When the measurement is completed, the cu will deflate entirely. Systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the
LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into memory.
NOTE:
This monitor automatically turns o approximately 1 minute after last
operation. You may also press the START/STOP button to turn the unit o.
To interrupt the measurement, you may press the START/STOP button. The
cu will deflate immediately after a button is pressed.
DATE AND TIME SET
Press the DATE/TIME SET button and the YEAR will flash on the screen. Press
USER/
+ button to increase to desired YEAR; press DATE/TIME SET button to
confirm. Repeat steps for MONTH, DAY, HOUR, and MINUTE.
DISPLAY EXPLANATIONS
Low Battery Symbol: Appears when batteries should be replaced.
Pulse Symbol: Shows the heart rate per minute.
Risk Category Indicator: See Blood Pressure Standard section for more
information.
Irregular Heartbeat Detector: See below for more information.
Memory Average: Displays average of last 3 readings.
EE
Measurement Error: Adjust the cu and keep wrist steady during
measurement.
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
The appearance of the icon indicates that
a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular
heartbeat was detected during measurement.
Usually, this is not a cause for concern. However,
if the symbol appears often, we recommend you
seek medical advice. Please note that
the device does not replace a cardiac
examination, but serves to detect pulse
irregularities at an early stage.
Movement, shaking, or talking during the measurement can result in pulse
irregularities that may cause the appearance of this icon. Therefore, it is of great
importance to not move or talk during measurement.
To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of the
heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal eective heartbeat
values. It is important to note that the average is not a strict mathematical
averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats with 25% or greater
dierence from the average heartbeat interval will generate the
icon on
the screen.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES AND
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.
This device uses oscillemetric method to measure systolic and diastolic blood
pressure, as well as heart rate.
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 arrhythmias. This device may have
diculty determining the proper blood pressure for pregnant women, and
for users with irregular heartbeat, diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney
problems, or for users who have suered a stroke.
Not suitable for those undergoing intravenous injection on any limb or women
with pre-eclampsia.
For those who have undergone mastectomy or lymph nodectomy surgery, it is
recommended to take a measurement on the unaected side.
Excessive use may result in blood flow interference, which is likely to cause
uncomfortable sensations, such as partial subcutaneous hemorrhage, or
temporary numbness to your wrist. In general, these symptoms should not last
long. However, if you do not recover in time, please seek advice from a medical
professional.
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.
When used among medical electronic equipment on the same limb,
pressurization of the cu may cause the other devices to temporarily
malfunction.
Please use this device indoors only, in a home healthcare environment.
Use blood pressure monitor only for its intended use.
Do not wrap the cu around body parts other than your wrist.
Not for use by or on persons under the age of 18.

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.
Why do my readings vary?
Blood pressure is a body parameter that is subject to normal variations
throughout the day. A single reading that is dierent from your and your doctor’s
readings are not necessarily inaccurate. The average of several readings, taken
under similar conditions, using the same arm, is preferred for accurate blood
pressure readings.
Why are my readings dierent than those taken at my
doctor’s oce?
Many experience a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension” when
measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to blood pressure that
rises above its usual level when measured in a clinical setting, such as a doctor’s
oce.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table below contains defined levels of hypertension that are publicly
available from the American Heart Association® (AHA 2017) (www.heart.org/
HEARTORG/Conditions/HighBloodPressure/KnowYourNumbers/Understanding-
Blood-Pressure-Readings_UCM_301764_Article.jsp#.WusfWogvy71). Users
can compare their own blood pressure readings against these defined levels to
determine if they may be potentially at increased risk.
This table is applicable to most adults age 18 and older.

RedHigh Blood Pressure (hypertension) Stage 2 140-180 or 90-120
Hypertension Crisis (consult your doctor immediately) >180 and/or >120
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally don’t have
high readings. If your numbers stay above the “normal” range most of the time,
you may be at increased risk and should consult your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings fall
on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that
automatically compares each reading to the defined levels and provides a helpful
cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate an
increased risk.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you
in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help
you understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the AHA
2017 information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your
physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your
physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at
which you may actually be considered to be at risk.
