Setup

1. Battery Installation

2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert four (4) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Cuff Connection

Connect the air tube from the cuff to the air jack on the side of the monitor unit.

Operating Instructions

1. Preparing for Measurement

• Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
• Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
• Avoid talking or moving during the measurement.
• Ensure the cuff is applied directly to your bare skin, not over clothing.

2. Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Slide your arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm.
2. Position the cuff so the bottom edge is approximately 1-2 cm above your elbow joint.
3. Wrap the cuff snugly around your upper arm, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. The index line on the cuff should align with the range indicator.

2. Remain still and quiet during inflation and deflation.
3. Once the measurement is complete, your Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA), and Pulse (PUL) readings will be displayed on the screen.

• Red: Severe Hypertension
• Orange: Moderate Hypertension
• Yellow: Mild Hypertension
• Light Green: High-Normal
• Green: Normal
• Dark Green: Optimal

Consult your healthcare professional for interpretation of your results and medical advice.
