- Connect the cuff's air tube securely into the air jack on the side of the monitor.

Operating Instructions
Before Taking a Measurement:
- Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
- Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for 30 minutes prior to measurement.
- Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Your arm should be resting on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
- Take measurements at approximately the same time each day for consistent results.
Taking a Measurement:
- Ensure the cuff is correctly placed and the air tube is connected.
- Press the Start/Stop button (labeled with a power symbol and 'M' for memory) to turn on the monitor. The cuff will automatically inflate.
- Remain still and silent during the measurement.
- Once the measurement is complete (approximately 30 seconds), the cuff will deflate, and your Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse Rate readings will be displayed on the large LCD screen.
- The monitor will automatically store the reading with a date and time stamp.
- Press the Start/Stop button again to turn off the monitor, or it will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity.
Understanding Your Readings:
- SYS (Systolic Pressure): The top number, indicating the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
- DIA (Diastolic Pressure): The bottom number, indicating the pressure in your arteries between beats.
- PUL (Pulse Rate): Your heart rate, measured in beats per minute.
- WHO Indicator: A color-coded bar on the left side of the display helps categorize your blood pressure reading according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.
- Irregular Heartbeat Detector: If an irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement, a heart symbol will appear on the display. Consult your physician if this symbol appears frequently.

- To select a user, press the SET button when the monitor is off. Repeatedly press SET to cycle through User 1, 2, 3, and 4. Confirm your selection by pressing the Start/Stop button.
- To view past readings, press the Memory (M) button when the monitor is off. The display will show the average of the last three readings for the current user.
