Setup
Follow these steps to set up your blood pressure monitor for first use:
- Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the monitor and insert the 4 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- Connect Cuff: Insert the air tube connector from the cuff firmly into the air jack on the side of the monitor.
- Position Yourself: Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor and your upper arm exposed.

Operating Instructions

Understanding Your Readings
The KBP-2704A Blood Pressure Indicator is based on established guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO). A color-coded bar on the left side of the display helps you quickly interpret your blood pressure category:
- Green: Optimal/Normal Blood Pressure
- Yellow: High Normal/Mild Hypertension
- Orange: Moderate Hypertension
- Red: Severe Hypertension
Note: Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs. A better indication of an individual's blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time each day over an extended period of time. Consult your physician if test results remain abnormal.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your blood pressure monitor, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the monitor and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Storage: Store the device in its carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
- Battery Replacement: Replace all four AAA batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
- Cuff Care: Do not wash the cuff. If it becomes soiled, wipe it gently with a damp cloth. Avoid bending or creasing the air tube excessively.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor does not turn on | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Replace batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Error message (e.g., E-1, E-2) | Cuff not applied correctly, movement during measurement, or air leakage. | Re-apply cuff snugly, remain still during measurement, check cuff and tube for damage. |
| Inconsistent readings | Improper posture, talking during measurement, or recent physical activity. | Ensure proper sitting posture, remain silent and still, wait at least 5 minutes after activity before measuring. |
| Cuff does not inflate or inflates too little/much | Air tube not connected properly, or cuff size is incorrect. | Check air tube connection. Ensure cuff size (8.5"-16.5") is appropriate for your arm circumference. |
