4. Setup

4.1. Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the monitor.
2. Insert four (4) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

4.2. Power Options

The monitor can be powered by the included AAA batteries or via the USB Type-C cable and USB plug. Please note that the device is not rechargeable. When using the USB Type-C cable, a continuous power connection is required for operation. For optimal performance, use the provided USB Type-C cable.

4.3. Cuff Selection and Connection

Choosing the correct cuff size is crucial for accurate readings. Measure your upper arm circumference and select the appropriate cuff:

• Small Cuff: 7"-9" (17-22 cm)
• Medium/Large Cuff: 9"-17" (22-42 cm)
• XL Extra Large Cuff: 13"-21" (33-53 cm)

Incorrect cuff size can lead to inaccurate measurements (e.g., a cuff that is too small may result in falsely high readings, and a cuff that is too large may result in falsely low readings).

After installing batteries or connecting power, the monitor may prompt you to set the date and time. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for specific steps on navigating the settings menu using the 'MEM' and 'SET' buttons.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Before Taking a Measurement

• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising, and 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. Do not cross your legs.
• Place your arm on a flat surface so the cuff is at heart level.
• Remain still and avoid talking during the measurement.

5.2. Applying the Cuff

1. Slide your arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm.
2. Position the cuff so its bottom edge is approximately 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) above your elbow joint. The red area on the cuff should be centered over your brachial artery.
3. Wrap the cuff snugly around your upper arm. Ensure it is not too tight or too loose.

5.3. Taking a Measurement

1. Press the 'USER' button to select the desired user (User 1, User 2, or User 3).
2. Press the 'START/STOP' button. The cuff will automatically inflate, and the measurement will begin.
3. Remain still and quiet during the measurement.
4. Once the measurement is complete, the systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PUL) will be displayed on the screen. The reading will automatically be stored in the selected user's memory.
