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.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension
that are publicly available from the National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_
WhatIs.html). 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aged18andolder.
6
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increasedrisk.Seepage19formoreinformationon
this feature.
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 NIH 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.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your
blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor
to automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate
level for each individual. With one touch of a button,
the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow
throughyourartery.Next,thedeflationprocessstarts.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation
or deflation will cause measurement error. When
measurement is complete, the monitor will display
your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse
readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement
results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood
Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased
risk.Seepage19formoreinformationonthisfeature.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was
detectedduringmeasurement.Refertopage20formore
information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

APPLYING THE CUFF
1.Removeallwatches,wristjewelry,etc.priortoattachingthe
wrist monitor. Clothing sleeves should
be rolled up and the cuff should be
wrapped around bare skin for correct
measurements.
2.Applycufftoleftwristwithpalmfacing
up as shown in Fig. A.
3.Makesuretheedgeofthecuffisabout
1/4”~1/2”(1cm)fromthepalmas
shown in Fig. B.
4.Inordertoensureaccurate
measurements, fasten the hook and
loop strap securely around your wrist so
thereisnoextraspacebetweenthecuff
and the wrist. If the cuff is not wrapped
tight enough, the measurement values
will not be accurate.
5.Ifyourphysicianhasdiagnosedyou
with poor circulation in your left arm,
place the cuff around your right wrist as
shown in Fig. C.
Note:
•Thisdeviceshouldnotbeusedwhenyourwristis
woundedorinjured.
•Ifitisnotpossibletousethecuffonyourleftwrist,
it can also be used on your right wrist. However, all
measurements should be made using the same wrist.

CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE
1.Placeyourelbowonatable
so that the cuff is at the same
level as your heart as shown in
Fig.A.Relaxyourentirebody,
especially between your elbow
and fingers.
Note: Your heart is located
slightly below your armpit.
2.Ifthecuffisnotatthesame
level as your heart or if
you cannot keep your arm
completely still throughout the
reading, use a softobjectsuch
as a folded towel to support
your wrist as shown in Fig. B.
3.Turnyourpalmupwards.
4.Situprightinachair,andtake
5-6deepbreaths.
Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken as
shown in Fig. C.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
•Positionthemonitoratthesamelevelasyourheart
during measurement to ensure accurate readings.
•Bloodpressurechangeswitheveryheartbeatandisin
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
•Bloodpressuremeasurementcanbeaffectedbythe
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition
andotherfactors.Forgreatestaccuracy,wait1hour
afterexercising,bathing,eating,drinkingbeverages
with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood
pressure.
•Beforeameasurement,itissuggestedthatyousit
quietlyfor15minutesasmeasurementstakenduring
arelaxedstatewillhavegreateraccuracy.Youshould
notbephysicallytiredorexhaustedwhiletakinga
measurement.
•Duringthemeasurement,donottalkormoveyour
arm or hand muscles.
•Seepage22foradditionalnotesregardingyour
blood pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.

1.Withthecuffwrappedaroundyourwrist,pressthe
START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless
it is wrapped around your wrist. All digits will light
up, checking the display functions. The checking
procedurewillbecompletedafterabout3seconds.
2. Afterallsymbolsdisappear,thedisplaywillshow“00”.
The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will
automatically inflate the cuff to begin measurement.
The cuff will then begin deflating as measurement
continues.
Note:
The monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system
detectsthatyourbodyrequiresmorepressurefor
measurement.
/
3. Whenthemeasurementiscompleted,thecuff
will deflate entirely and 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offapproximately1
minute after last operation. You may also press the
START/STOP button to turn the unit off.
•Tointerruptthemeasurement,youmaypress
the START/STOP button (recommended), the
MEMORY button or DATE/TIME SET ( )
buttons. The cuff will deflate immediately after a
button is pressed.
