2. Setup
2.1 Battery Installation
The monitor requires two AAA batteries, which are included. To install:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the monitor.
- Slide the battery cover off.
- Insert the two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Replace the battery cover.
2.2 Initial Settings (Date and Time)
After installing batteries, the device may prompt you to set the date and time. Refer to the on-screen prompts and use the designated buttons (usually 'MEM' or 'USER' in combination with 'START/STOP') to adjust and confirm the settings. Accurate date and time are essential for tracking readings over time.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Applying the Wrist Cuff
Proper cuff placement is crucial for accurate readings.
- Ensure the monitor is placed directly on your wrist, approximately 1-2 cm from your hand.
- The display should be on the inside of your wrist.
- Fasten the cuff snugly but not too tightly. There should be enough space to insert one finger between the cuff and your wrist.

3.2 Taking a Measurement
For best results, sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor and your arm supported. Avoid talking or moving during the measurement.
- Once the cuff is correctly applied, press the START/STOP button.
- The monitor will begin to inflate the cuff. Remain still and quiet.
- The monitor features a position assistant. Ensure your wrist is at heart level. The display will guide you with arrows or indicators to achieve the correct position.
- Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will be displayed on the screen.

3.3 Understanding Your Readings
The monitor displays three key values:
- 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.
The monitor also includes a healthy range indicator, typically a color-coded bar on the side of the display, to provide a quick visual assessment of your reading relative to standard guidelines.
3.4 Memory Function
The device can store up to 60 readings for two individual users. To access stored readings:
- Press the USER button to select User 1 or User 2.
- Press the MEM button to view previous readings. Each press will cycle through the stored measurements.
While the monitor does not have direct Bluetooth connectivity, you can manually enter your readings into the free Balance Health app to track trends over time.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Low Battery Indicator | Batteries are low or incorrectly inserted. | Replace both AAA batteries with new ones. Ensure correct polarity. |
| Inconsistent Readings | Improper positioning, movement, or external factors. | Ensure correct wrist positioning at heart level. Take measurements at the same time each day. Avoid caffeine, exercise, or smoking 30 minutes prior. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of readings. |
