3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.
4. Alternatively, connect the AC adapter to the device and a power outlet for continuous power.

2. Cuff Attachment

1. Ensure the cuff tube is securely plugged into the air jack on the side of the monitor.
2. The universal cuff is designed for arm circumferences from 22 to 42 cm.

3. Initial Setup (Date and Time)

Upon first use or after battery replacement, the device may prompt you to set the date and time. Follow the on-screen instructions using the device buttons to adjust these settings for accurate record-keeping.

Operating Instructions

1. Before Measurement

• Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes before measurement.
• Rest for 5-10 minutes in a quiet environment before taking a reading.
• Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
• Place your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
• Ensure the cuff is directly on your bare skin, not over clothing.

2. Taking a Measurement (MAM Mode)

1. Wrap the cuff firmly around your upper arm, ensuring it is snug but not too tight. The artery mark on the cuff should align with your brachial artery.
2. Press the START/STOP button to turn on the device. The device will automatically enter MAM mode (three consecutive measurements).
3. Remain still and silent during the measurement process. The device will inflate and deflate the cuff three times, with short pauses in between.
4. After the third measurement, the average blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate will be displayed.
5. If AFIB is detected, the AFIB symbol will appear on the display. Consult your doctor if this symbol appears regularly.
6. Press the START/STOP button again to turn off the device, or it will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Clean the monitor and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the device in its storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
• Battery Replacement: When the low battery indicator appears, replace all four AA batteries with new ones. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
