3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Taking a Measurement

For accurate readings, ensure you are relaxed and have avoided strenuous activity, caffeine, or smoking for at least 30 minutes prior. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor and your arm supported.

1. Ensure the cuff is correctly applied and positioned at heart level.
2. Press the Power button () to begin. The cuff will automatically inflate.
3. Remain still and silent during the measurement.
4. Once the measurement is complete and all air is deflated, the monitor will display and audibly announce your Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse readings.

3.2 Understanding Your Readings

The display shows three main 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 features a Visual BP Guide on the left side of the display, which uses a color-coded scale to indicate the health range of your blood pressure results. Additionally, it includes an Irregular Heartbeat Detection symbol () which will appear if an irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement.
