CAUTION:
• For persons with poor circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease,
arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure or other conditions, there may be
significant differences in blood pressure values measured at the wrist
versus at the upper arm.
• Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis.
• NEVER change a prescribed medication without first consulting with
your physician.
Storing blood pressure readings
(NOTE: The time and date of measurements will not
display correctly unless set beforehand.)
1. The mark will flash after a measurement has
been completed with sounds (Fig. 10-a).
Press the Memory/Recall button.
2. Memory storage is completed.
• Readings of up to 90 measurements can be stored in
memory with sounds (Fig. 10-c, 10-d). Readings over
the memory capacity will be recorded over the oldest
measurement in memory.
• Readings cannot be saved when a measurement has
been unsuccessful (display of the error mark for
blood pressure readings). Readings can be saved,
however, when the
mark is displayed for the pulse
rate.

Alarm function signals high blood pressure
Blood pressure values for both systolic and diastolic readings are
determined and indicated via a three-color LED system as being within
normal or hypertensive ranges based on definitions and classification of
blood pressure levels by the JNC 7. Moreover, when blood pressure is in the
high range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user.
According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg
(Sys.) and/or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure.

• Blood pressure readings will flash for approx. 6 seconds
when in the high blood pressure range (Fig. 9-a).
Systolic blood pressure: 140 mmHg and over
Diastolic blood pressure:
90 mmHg and over
(Only when measurement is complete)
When an Error Occurs During Measurement
An will appear on the display to indicate that measurement
was unsuccessful and should be performed again (Fig. 9-b).
Before performing another measurement, always press the
On/Off and Start button to turn off the unit and make sure to
allow a rest period of 4 to 5 minutes before starting again.
Please consult your doctor without delay if the blood
pressure indicator repeatedly draws attention to elevated
blood pressure values.
