Taking Your Blood Pressure Reading
Proceed only after reading the previous sections of this manual.
1. Position the monitor on a flat, stable surface with the digital display panel
in view. Insert the cuff tubing connector into the left side of the monitor,
Fig. 1.
2. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing upward.
Elevate your arm so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart,
Fig. 2. Relax your left hand.
3. Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Select the memory
bank (1 or 2) to store the reading in by pressing the MEMORY
button. Press POWER to confirm your selection.
4. The monitor will begin to guide you with voice prompts if the voice
function is turned on. This unit will run a self-test, Fig. 3.
5. This unit will show the last measured
reading, Fig. 4, or if there is no previous
measurement, "0" as shown in Fig. 5.
6. When the display appears as shown,
Fig. 6, the monitor is ready and will
begin to guide you with voice prompts
if the voice function is on. The cuff will
automatically begin to inflate.
7. Once the cuff inflates to the appropriate pressure level, the measurement
will begin.
8. The unit will begin to automatically delfate and the numbers appearing on
the display will decrease.
9. When all the air is deflated, the measurement is complete. The unit will
display your blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) measurements and pulse
rate, Fig. 7. With the voice function on (L1 or L2), the monitor will say the
measurement with the language you selected according to the classification
standard of WHO (World Health Organization). Record your readings in a
chart.

10. Your measurements will automatically be saved in memory.
11. Press the POWER button to turn the power off, or the unit will automatically shut off after
approximately 1 minute.
12. Disconnect the tubing from the monitor prior to storing.
NOTE: This monitor inflates the cuff to approximately 190 mmHg or 40 mmHg higher than the last
systolic pressure stored in memory. If the system detects that the cuff needs additional pressure, it
will automatically re-inflate to approximately 40 mmHg higher than the last pressure level.
Recalling Measurements in Memory
You can recall up to 120 total measurements in memory (60 per memory bank). These
measurements can be shared with your physician or trained healthcare

professional.
1. Press and release the MEMORY button. The unit will display either
U1 or U2 depending upon the user bank selected. It will also show how
many measurements are stored within that bank.
2. To select the appropriate user bank press the POWER button to switch
between U1 and U2.
3. Once the desired user memory bank is selected, press the MEMORY
button again to scroll through the saved measurements, Fig 1. After you've
scrolled through all the readings, the unit will automatically turn off.
NOTE: Each memory bank can store up to 60 readings. When the number
of readings exceeds 60, the oldest data will be replaced with the new record.
To erase all stored measurements:
1. Press and release the MEMORY button. The unit will display either U1 or
U2 depending upon the user bank selected and how many measurements
are stored within that bank.
2. Select the desired user bank by pressing and releasing the MEMORY button.
3. Press and hold down the Memory button until two horizontal lines flash,
Fig 2. This indicates that all measurements within the selected memory bank
have been erased.
