5.1. Installing Batteries

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back or bottom of the monitor.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert 4 AA batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

5.2. Attaching the Arm Cuff

1. Connect the air tube from the arm cuff to the air jack on the side of the blood pressure monitor unit. Ensure it is firmly inserted.
2. Unroll the arm cuff and slide your arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm.
3. Position the cuff so that the index mark (Φ) on the cuff is directly over your main artery (on the inside of your arm). The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 1 inch (2-3 cm) above your elbow joint.
4. Wrap the cuff snugly around your upper arm, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. The fabric fastener should be secure.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Taking a Measurement

1. Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Avoid crossing your legs.
2. Rest your arm on a table or flat surface so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Your palm should be facing upward.
3. Remain still and silent during the measurement. Avoid talking or moving.
4. Press the Power button (usually marked with a power symbol or 'Start'). The cuff will automatically inflate.
5. The monitor will display your systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PULSE) on the LCD screen once the measurement is complete.
6. Observe the Visual BP Guide on the left side of the display, which uses a color-coded scale (green, yellow, orange, red) to indicate your blood pressure category according to international standards.
7. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, a corresponding symbol will appear on the display. Consult your physician if this occurs frequently.
