Long press the START/STOP button for 3 seconds until the user symbol (man or woman) flashes. Then press the SET button to switch between User 1 and User 2. This allows two individuals to store their readings separately.

Operating Instructions

1. Proper Cuff Placement

Ensure you are seated comfortably with your arm resting on a flat surface. Wrap the cuff around your left upper arm, approximately 2-3 cm above the elbow. The air tube should run down the center of your arm. Ensure the cuff is snug but not too tight; you should be able to fit two fingers between the cuff and your arm. Keep your palm facing upwards.

2. Taking a Measurement

Once the cuff is correctly placed, press the START/STOP button. The cuff will automatically inflate and then slowly deflate. Remain still and silent during the measurement. The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will be displayed on the screen once the measurement is complete.

3. Interpreting Results

The monitor features a color-coded indicator on the left side of the display to help interpret your blood pressure readings according to WHO guidelines:

• Green: Optimal/Normal Blood Pressure
• Yellow: High Normal Value / Mild Hypertension
• Red: Moderate / Severe Hypertension

An irregular heartbeat indicator (IHB) will also appear if an irregular heartbeat is detected during measurement. Consult your doctor if you frequently receive high readings or IHB alerts.
