Operating Instructions
1. Preparation for Measurement
For accurate readings, follow these steps before taking a measurement:
- Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
- Place your forearm on a table, palm facing up.
- Ensure the cuff is wrapped correctly around your upper arm, with enough space to slide two fingertips underneath. The air tube should be located on the forearm.
- Position the cuff so that the central area of the arm cuff is at the same height as your heart.
- Remain still and avoid talking during the measurement process.
- Allow at least 1 minute between consecutive measurements to allow blood flow to normalize.

2. Taking a Measurement
Once prepared, simply press the "START/STOP" button to begin the measurement. The monitor will automatically inflate the cuff and display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate.
The large LED screen of the Sinocare Blood Pressure Monitor clearly shows systolic (SYS), diastolic (DIA), and pulse (PUL) readings after a measurement.
This video demonstrates the one-touch operation of the Sinocare Blood Pressure Monitor, from pressing the start button to the display of the final blood pressure and pulse readings.
3. Voice Function
The monitor features a voice broadcast function that announces your blood pressure and pulse readings. This function can be turned on or off according to your preference. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on adjusting voice settings.
The monitor's display highlights the voice announcement feature, which provides audible readings for enhanced accessibility.
This segment of the video demonstrates the voice broadcast feature, where the monitor audibly announces the blood pressure and pulse results.
4. Memory Function
The Sinocare Blood Pressure Monitor supports two user modes and can store up to 180 data sets (90 readings for each user). This allows for tracking individual progress over time.
The monitor supports two distinct user profiles, allowing each user to store and track their individual blood pressure readings.
Important Notes for Accurate Readings
- Blood pressure can vary throughout the day. For consistent monitoring, take measurements at the same time each day.
- Ensure the cuff is tied correctly and not too tight, allowing two fingertips to slide underneath.
- The measurement position significantly impacts results. Always measure under the same conditions (e.g., sitting, arm at heart level).
- Avoid talking or moving during the measurement.
- If you need to take multiple readings, wait at least one minute between measurements to allow blood flow to normalize.
