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.
Error
• If “E” (meaning error) appears in the display (Fig.12)
during measurement, an error has occurred, e.g., you
have moved your hand during measurement. In this case,
turn the unit off, wait at least 5 minutes and measure
again.
3. A measurement is automatically stored in the memory.
• Up to 21 measurements can be stored and recalled
later. After you have stored 21 measurements, the
oldest one will be deleted automatically when you
measure a new one.
4. To switch the unit off, press the Start (On/Off) button.
• The unit switches off automatically approximately 5 minutes after
measurement is completed.
Note:
• During the measurement, the unit may re-inflate once or twice in order to
start at the appropriate pressure level. This is normal and is not an
indication of a malfunction.

Measuring Your Blood Pressure
Relax during measurements.
1. To begin measurement, press the Start (On/Off) button (Fig. 7).
• The LCD display will show 888 and then switch to 0. The pressure cuff
will automatically inflate (Fig. 8).
• The pressure gradually decreases and when the pulse is detected, the
heart mark will blink (Fig. 10).

2. When finished, the blood pressure measurement and the pulse rate
(number of beats per minute) are indicated on the display. The air in the
pressure cuff is then automatically released. If the measured values fall
within the hypertension range, the displayed values will blink for about 6
seconds (Fig. 11).
