Blood Pressure is a measure of the blood’s pressure in the  
circulatory system, which changes constantly during the course of  
the cardiac cycle. Blood pressure readings report two values. The  
higher reading (systolic pressure) shows the highest pressure

general troubleshooting  
in the arteries occurring when the heart contracts. The lower  
reading (diastolic pressure) shows the lowest pressure in the  
arteries, which occurs right before the heart contracts. Blood  
pressure readings are written with the highest value first, then the  
lowest value. Readings of 120/80 are considered to be normal, with  
high blood pressure being defined as a systolic pressure which is  
140mmHg or more at rest and a diastolic pressure which is 90mmHg  
or more at rest. Only a patient’s physician is qualified to determine  
whether the readings obtained are normal for that person.

Recommended Action  
Nothing appears

Ensure that batteries are correctly oriented in battery holder (polarity  
matches battery case placement indicators)  
No measurement Ensure that cuff is positioned correctly

Go over measurement procedure; measure again  
Blood pressure  
measurements are  
too high or  
Ensure that user and cuff are positioned as instructed  
Rest your arm on a table so that the cuff is level with your heart during  
measurement  
Remain seated and still during entire measurement period  
Refrain from hand and body movements during measurement  
too low  
Preparing to measure blood pressure  
1. Blood pressure fluctuates continuously throughout the day. To  
consistently track your blood pressure, try to take your blood  
pressure at the same time each day.  
Blood pressure  
measurements  
vary  
Your blood pressure can fluctuate considerably throughout the day. All  
of the following factors can influence your blood pressure:  
• Emotional state  
• Daily activities / exercise  
• Smoking  
2. Relax and remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before a blood pressure  
measurement, and between blood pressure measurements.  
• Drinking alcoholic beverages  
• Eating  
• Taking certain medications  
3. Refrain from eating, smoking, and drinking, especially alcoholic

beverages, before a measurement.  
4. Remove any clothing on the upper arm to place the  
cuff directly on the skin. Constriction of the upper  
arm by clothing or a rolled-up sleeve, as shown at  
right, may cause an inaccurate reading; remove any  
constricting garments.  
Indication Cuff pressure reaches 330mmHg  
Cause Twisted bladder inside cuff  
excessive  
constriction  
Correction Ensure that bladder lies flat within cuff  
Indication "Err" displays, cuff pressure releases, then "0 pressure" displays  
5. Sit down in a chair with back support  
and place both feet on the floor.  
Cause  
Excessive arm movement or talking during measurement  
Correction Turn monitor OFF then ON and measure again while remaining still  
6. Extend the arm from which the blood  
pressure will be taken to the front or  
side. Rest your hand, palm-up, on a  
table as shown at right.  
Indication Could not obtain pulse rate  
Cause  
Cuff was too loosely applied, extremely weak pulse, or arrhythmia  
Correction Reapply cuff and measure again; if problem persists after cuff is  
correctly positioned, seek medical attention immediately  
Note: Place the cuff at the same level as your heart to obtain accurate  
measurements. Your heart is located slightly to the right of your left  
armpit.  
Batteries are exhausted. Replace with four new AAA alkaline batteries

7. Attach the cuff: Hold the area of the cuff where the  
hose exits the cuff firmly against the inside of the  
bare upper arm directly over the brachial artery,  
and the bottom of the cuff approximately one inch  
(2-3cm) above the elbow, as shown in the third pic-  
ture at right. Never place the cuff over clothing.  
Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the  
arm and secure with the Velcro® fastener. The cuff  
should be snug, but not too tight. If one or two fin-  
gers can fit between the cuff and the arm, the cuff  
is properly secured. If you are unable to fit the cuff  
as described above, a smaller or larger cuff should  
be used.  
Recommended care and maintenance:  
Do not drop or pull excessively on monitor components or subject them to strong impact.  
Do not use monitor close to any device with a strong electrical field such as television,  
microwave oven, X-Ray equipment, etc.  
Never inflate cuff above 300mmHg. Never inflate cuff unless it is positioned on an arm.  
Do not expose the monitor components to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity.  
Do not put any part of monitor in contact with sharp objects which could pierce the material  
and cause damage.  
Do not dismantle or disassemble monitor components.  
1 inch  
Cleaning  
Wipe off all components with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or other  
petroleum-based cleaners. Do not press cuff with a hot iron.  
Storage  
Always deflate the cuff completely before storage.  
Remove the batteries when the device is to be stored for extended periods of  
time. Note: Removing the batteries will erase all readings in memory.

7. If performing measurement for the first time, repeat the measure-  
ment two or more times to ensure that you and cuff are posi-  
tioned correctly and that results are accurate and consistent.  
Record your results; there is a log provided, with examples, at the  
end of this manual for this purpose. Always check with your phy-  
sician to ensure that readings are performed correctly. If you have  
concerns or questions about your results, always contact your  
physician. Only your physician is qualified to analyze blood  
pressure.

1. Ensure that cuff is properly placed and that you are positioned as  
described in previous paragraphs.  
2. Press the ON/OFF button. All LCD symbols will appear momen-  
tarily. If a downward arrow symbol displays, press the exhaust  
valve button (see earlier labeled picture) located between the  
inflation bulb and the tube to release the residual pressure from  
the cuff.

Note: The low battery symbol will also appear at this time while the  
monitor checks the power level. This does not indicate that the batter-  
ies are low unless the low battery symbol remains on continuously.  
3. After "0" displays, pressurize the cuff by squeezing the bulb until  
the pressure value displayed is 50mmHg above your usual systolic  
pressure. If you do not know your usual systolic pressure, squeeze  
the bulb just until 200mmHg displays.  
4. The cuff will automatically deflate after you stop pressurizing the  
cuff. If an upward arrow symbol displays, you must inflate the  
cuff to a higher pressure than you did the first time. If an upward  
arrow does not display, the monitor is taking your measurement.  
Remain calm and still to avoid causing any measurement error.  
Note: To stop measurement in progress for whatever reason, press the  
exhaust valve button to release the pressure and turn off the device.  
Note: If during measurement the power drops to an insufficient level,  
the device will end the measurement and display the low battery sym-  
bol. Replace the batteries and repeat the measurement.  
Note: If the device cannot detect your pulse, it will end the measure-  
ment. Wait several minutes, ensure that you and the cuff are positioned  
properly, and try again.  
6. The device will automatically shut off three minutes after com-  
pleting a reading, or you may turn it off manually by pressing the  
ON/OFF button.

5. The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,  
and pulse will display in the format shown at  
right. The device will completely deflate when  
measurement is finished. To accelerate defla-  
tion, press the exhaust valve button.
