CARING FOR YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR  
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE  
To ensure you receive the maximum benefit from using  
this product, please observe the following care guidelines.  
What is blood pressure?  
Blood pressure is the force generated by the blood  
against the walls of arteries during cardiac contraction  
and relaxation  
When not in use, store the unit in a dry place away  
from direct sunlight.  
(e.g., the pumping action of the heart).  
Do not immerse the unit in water. If it comes in contact  
with water, dry it immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.  
What are systolic pressure and diastolic  
pressure?  
Use a soft, slightly moistened cloth to wipe off the  
unit and cuff. Do not use abrasive or corrosive  
cleaning agents, as these may cause damage.  
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the  
heart, blood pressure reaches its maximum value. This  
highest pressure in the cycle is known as systolic  
pressure. When the heart relaxes between heartbeats,  
the lowest blood pressure is diastolic pressure.  
Remove the batteries whenever you are planning  
to store the unit for a long period of time.  
When replacing batteries, use new batteries as  
specified in this user manual. Do not mix new and  
old batteries.  
What is mean arterial pressure (MAP)?  
Do not place objects such as stickers on the wrist  
cuff or unit, as these may impair the measurement.  
The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average  
pressure that forces blood through the arteries. It is  
not the average of the systolic and diastolic blood  
pressure; rather, MAP corresponds to a state of  
balance between the compressive and expansive  
forces acting on the arterial wall when there is no  
distension outward or inward. MAP is an excellent  
way to evaluate the stress on the walls of your blood  
vessels, and can be used to evaluate excessive load  
on the cardiovascular system. Show your MAP history  
to your doctor to provide additional information that  
may help him or her understand your situation.  
Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust,  
temperature changes, or humidity. Such treatment may  
result in malfunction, a shorter electronic life span,  
damaged batteries, or distorted parts.  
Do not tamper with the internal components. Doing  
so will terminate the product warranty and may  
cause damage.  
The unit contains no user- serviceable parts.  
If you no longer need to use this product, protect  
the environment by bringing it to your dealer or  
designated collection point for proper disposal.

Why measure your blood pressure?  
International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for  
the management of hypertension, Journal of  
Hypertension, 1999, 17(2): 151-183.  
Blood pressure measurement can highly reflect one's  
health condition. High blood pressure is potentially  
linked to serious illnesses such as stroke, heart  
disease and kidney failure.  
NOTE  
Blood pressure is considered high when either the  
diastolic or systolic blood pressure value exceeds  
the normal range. When a patient’s systolic and  
diastolic blood pressures fall into different  
Since there is no symptom most of the time, many  
hypertensive people do not realize they are at risk  
until their health is seriously threatened.  
categories, the higher category should apply.  
What is the standard blood pressure classification?  
Only a physician can tell you your normal blood  
pressure range and the point at which you are at  
risk. Consult your physician to obtain these values.  
If the measurements taken with these products fall  
outside the range, consult your physician.  
Figure 3 illustrates the blood pressure classification  
made by World Health Organization (WHO) and  
International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999.  
Grade 3 hypertension(severe)  
110  
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout  
the day?  
Grade 2 hypertension(moderate)  
100  
Individual blood pressure varies greatly both on a  
daily and a seasonal or temperature basis. These  
variations may be more pronounced in hypertensive  
patients. Normally the blood pressure rises while at  
work and is at its lowest during sleep.

GETTING STARTED  
INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES  
1. Slide off the battery cover.  
2. Install the batteries by matching the correct polarity,  
as shown below. Always use the correct battery  
type (2 alkaline LR03 AAA-size).  
3. Replace the cover.  
HOW THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR  
WORKS  
This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring  
method to detect your blood pressure. Before every  
measurement, the unit establishes a "zero pressure"  
equivalent to the air pressure.  
NOTE  
Replace the batteries whenever the weak  
battery mark shows, the display is dim, or the  
Then it starts inflating the wrist cuff to 180mmHg or  
higher until it senses that it has blocked your blood in  
the artery. After that, the deflation process starts,  
during which time the unit detects pressure  
oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which  
is used to determine the systolic, mean and diastolic  
pressure, and also your pulse rate. Any motion during  
this period will result in an incorrect measurement.  
After all readings are determined and displayed on the  
LCD, the measurement is finished and the wrist cuff  
automatically deflates.  
display does not illuminate when the power is on.  
Replace all the batteries at the same time - it is  
dangerous to mix old and new batteries.  
Contact your local waste disposal authority for  
instructions on how to dispose of used batteries. Used  
batteries can be harmful to the environment, and  
should not be thrown out with household trash.

the memory with your history. For instructions, refer  
to p. 6.  
To take a measurement:  
1. Choose the position you from which you wish to  
measure - sitting or lying down.  
2. Position your body so that your wrist is parallel with  
your heart, using the chart and illustrations below  
as a guide.  
It is important to relax when taking your blood  
pressure. Try to take a 15-minute rest before you  
begin.  
Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward  
while taking a measurement.  
IF YOU  
ARE...  
THEN...  
Avoid talking or moving your fingers and hand while  
taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other  
activities may alter your reading.  
Sitting  
down  
with an  
armrest  
Place your elbow on a table, using an  
object as a support under your  
forearm. Your wrist should be parallel  
with your heart with the palm facing up.  
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.  
Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements.  
This allows your blood circulation to recover.  
Sitting  
down  
with no  
armrest  
Place your arm across your chest with  
the wrist parallel to your heart. Hold  
your elbow with the other hand.
