HOW THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
WORKS

This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring
method to detect your blood pressure. Before every
measurement, the unit establishes a "zero pressure"
equivalent to the air pressure.

Then it starts inflating the wrist cuff to 180mmHg or
higher until it senses that it has blocked your blood in
the artery. After that, the deflation process starts,
during which time the unit detects pressure
oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which
is used to determine the systolic, mean and diastolic
pressure, and also your pulse rate. Any motion during
this period will result in an incorrect measurement.
After all readings are determined and displayed on the
LCD, the measurement is finished and the wrist cuff
automatically deflates.

GETTING STARTED

INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES

1. Slide off the battery cover.

2. Install the batteries by matching the correct polarity,

as shown below. Always use the correct battery
type (2 alkaline LR03 AAA-size).

3. Replace the cover.

NOTE

Replace the batteries whenever the weak

battery mark

shows, the display is dim, or the

display does not illuminate when the power is on.
Replace all the batteries at the same time - it is
dangerous to mix old and new batteries.

Contact your local waste disposal authority for
instructions on how to dispose of used batteries. Used
batteries can be harmful to the environment, and
should not be thrown out with household trash.
