5. Setup

5.1 Power Supply

The monitor can be powered by 4 AAA batteries (included) or via the provided USB-C cable connected to a compatible power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). Note that the USB-C cable provides power but does not charge internal batteries.

1. Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit. Insert 4 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the cover securely.
2. USB-C Power: Connect the USB-C cable to the port on the side of the monitor and the other end to a power source. If using both batteries and USB-C, it is recommended to remove batteries when using the USB-C cable for power.

5.2 Cuff Connection

Insert the air tube connector from the arm cuff firmly into the air jack on the side of the monitor unit.

5.3 Setting Date and Time

Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for setting the date and time. This ensures accurate recording of your measurement history. Note that date and time settings may need to be reset if power is completely disconnected (e.g., batteries removed and USB-C unplugged).

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Preparing for Measurement

• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, or bathing for 30 minutes before measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
• Place your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.

6.2 Applying the Arm Cuff

Proper cuff placement is crucial for accurate readings:

1. Slide your arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm, aligned with your middle finger.
2. Wrap the cuff snugly around your bare upper arm, about 1-2 cm above the elbow joint. Ensure it is not too tight or too loose.
3. The "Cuff Worn" indicator on the display will help confirm correct placement.

6.3 Taking a Measurement

1. Once the cuff is correctly applied and you are in the proper position, press the START/STOP button.
2. The cuff will begin to inflate. Remain still and silent during the measurement. The "Keep Still" indicator will guide you.
3. Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA), and Pulse (PUL) readings will be displayed on the screen.
4. The screen will illuminate in one of four colors to indicate your blood pressure category:
   • White: Standby
   • Green: Normal Blood Pressure
   • Yellow: Mild High Blood Pressure or Hypertension
   • Red: High Blood Pressure
5. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, the Irregular Heartbeat Icon will appear on the display. Consult your physician if this occurs frequently.
