2. Setting Date and Time

Accurate date and time settings are crucial for tracking your readings. Refer to the small manual included in the box for specific instructions on setting the date and time, as this typically involves using the 'SET' or 'MEM' buttons in a specific sequence when the device is off.

Operating Instructions

1. Applying the Wrist Cuff

1. Remove any tight clothing or accessories from your left wrist.
2. Apply the cuff to your left wrist with the display facing the inside of your wrist (palm side).
3. Ensure the cuff is snug but not overly tight. There should be enough space to insert one finger between the cuff and your wrist.
4. The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches) from your palm.

2. Correct Body Posture for Measurement

• Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
• Rest your arm on a table or other stable surface so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. This is crucial for accurate readings.
• Relax and remain still. Avoid talking or moving during the measurement.

3. Taking a Measurement

1. Once the cuff is applied and you are in the correct posture, press the START/STOP button (usually the power button in the center).
2. The cuff will automatically inflate, and the measurement will begin. Remain still and quiet.
3. Once the measurement is complete (typically less than 1 minute), the systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PUL) will be displayed on the screen.
4. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, an irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display.
5. The device will automatically store the reading and shut off after a period of inactivity, or you can press the START/STOP button again to turn it off manually.

4. Memory Function

The monitor stores up to 90 readings for each of two users (M1 and M2) with a date and time stamp.

• To access stored readings, ensure the device is off.
• Press the M1 or M2 button to view the readings for the respective user.
• Use the M1 and M2 buttons (or dedicated arrow buttons if present) to scroll through previous readings.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the monitor and cuff gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.

Storage

• Store the device in its protective case when not in use.
• Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
• If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
