2. Setup
2.1 Powering the Device
The blood pressure monitor can be powered by either 4 AA batteries (not included) or via the included USB charging cable. For continuous use, connecting via USB to an adapter, laptop, or mobile power supply is recommended.
2.2 Attaching the Cuff
Connect the air tube from the cuff securely into the port on the side of the main unit. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent air leakage during measurement.
2.3 Initial Settings (Date/Time)
To set the date and time, press the "SET" button. Use the "MEM" button to adjust values and "START/STOP" to confirm and move to the next setting. This ensures accurate time-stamping of your readings.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Taking a Measurement
- Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
- Place the cuff on your upper arm, ensuring it is snug but not too tight. One finger should fit comfortably between the cuff and your arm. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm, aligned with your artery.
- Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
- Press the "START/STOP" button. The cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
- Remain still and silent during the measurement. The device will provide an audio prompt to remind you.
- Once the measurement is complete, your systolic, diastolic, and pulse rate will be displayed and announced (if audio is enabled). The device will automatically shut off after 30 seconds.
3.2 Display and Audio Interpretation
The large LCD display shows your systolic blood pressure (SYS), diastolic blood pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PUL). The backlight changes color to indicate your blood pressure category:
- Green: Blood pressure below 140mmHg (Normal).
- Light Yellow: Blood pressure between 140-180mmHg (Mild to Moderate Hypertension).
- Red: Blood pressure above 180mmHg (Severe Hypertension).
The audio reading function will verbally announce your results, which is particularly helpful for users with visual impairments.

- User Selection: The device automatically distinguishes between User 1 and User 2 based on the sequence of measurements.
- Viewing Records: Press the "MEM" button to review past readings. Repeated presses will cycle through the stored data.
- Alarm Function: An alarm function can be set to remind you to take measurements at the same time each day, promoting consistent monitoring.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your blood pressure monitor, please refer to the following general advice. For specific error codes or persistent problems, consult the detailed instruction manual provided with the product or contact customer support.
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure proper cuff placement, arm position (at heart level), and that you remain still and silent during measurement. Check if the cuff size is appropriate for your arm.
- No Display/Power: Check battery installation and charge level. If using USB, ensure the cable and power source are functioning correctly.
