Setup

1. Power Supply

The monitor can be powered by two methods:

• Batteries: Insert the 4 included AAA batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the device, ensuring correct polarity.
• Type-C USB: For temporary power, connect a DC 5V, 1A power supply via the Type-C charging port. A Type-C cable and charger are not included.

2. Connecting the Arm Cuff

1. Insert the air plug of the arm cuff securely into the air jack on the side of the monitor unit.
2. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent air leakage during measurement.

Operation

1. Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, and your arm resting on a table at heart level.
2. Pass your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom edge of the cuff should be 2 to 3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) above your inner elbow.
3. Ensure the air tube is positioned over the center of your inner arm.
4. Pull the cuff until it reaches your upper left arm and fasten it snugly with the hook-and-loop closure. It should be tight enough so that two fingers can barely fit between the cuff and your arm.

2. Taking a Measurement

1. Ensure you are in a relaxed state, have not exercised or consumed caffeine/alcohol within 30 minutes, and have an empty bladder.
2. Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will automatically inflate and then slowly deflate.
3. Remain still and silent during the measurement.
4. Your systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PUL) will be displayed on the screen.
5. If you feel uncomfortable during the measurement, press the START/STOP button again to immediately stop the process.

3. Dual-User Mode

The monitor supports two user profiles (User A and User B), each capable of storing up to 99 readings. This feature is ideal for tracking data for two individuals.

• To switch between User A and User B, press the SET button when the device is off.
• The selected user icon will be displayed on the screen.

4. Reviewing Stored Readings

To view previous measurements, press the MEM button when the device is off. Repeatedly press MEM to scroll through the stored readings for the currently selected user.

5. Understanding Your Readings

• Blood Pressure Classification: The monitor uses a color-coded indicator on the side of the display to classify your blood pressure level according to standard guidelines (Green for Normal, Yellow for Normal-High, Red for Hypertension).
• Irregular Heartbeat Detection: If an irregular heartbeat is detected during measurement, an icon will appear on the screen. Consult a healthcare professional if this icon appears frequently.

Maintenance

• Clean the monitor unit and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.

Troubleshooting: Inaccurate Readings

If you experience inconsistent or inaccurate blood pressure readings, consider the following common causes:

• Incorrect Measurement Method:
  • Avoid vigorous exercise or emotional fluctuations within 30 minutes prior to measurement.
  • Ensure correct cuff positioning and application (refer to "Applying the Arm Cuff" section).
  • Maintain proper posture during measurement (sit still, feet flat, arm at heart level). The monitor includes a posture detection feature to help ensure accuracy.
• Equipment Malfunction:
  • Check battery power; replace batteries if low.
  • Ensure the cuff's air plug is securely connected to the monitor.
  • Avoid exposing the device to moisture, which can damage internal components.
• Physiological and Environmental Interference:
  • Conditions like atrial fibrillation or arrhythmia can affect the accuracy of electronic blood pressure monitors. Consult your doctor for guidance.
  • Measure in a quiet environment, free from electronic device signals that might interfere.
