3. Wrap the cuff around your arm and tighten it so that one finger can be
inserted between the cuff and arm. (
4. DO NOT measure your blood pressure after bathing or drinking.
5. Measure your blood pressure where the room temperature is around
20°C. DO NOT measure your blood pressure when it is too cold (below
10°C) or too hot (above 40°C) in the room.
6. DO NOT try to measure your blood pressure immediately after drinking coffee or
tea or after smoking.
7. Measure your blood pressure when you are relaxed and still. Keep the center of
the cuff at the level of your heart and DO NOT move your arm or talk.
8. DO NOT measure blood pressure when the cuff has been on your arm for a
few minutes or more. During this time, your arm will have built up a higher blood
pressure and you will not get valid reading.
9. If the Body Movement Indicator or Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Indicator is
displayed, relax and measure your blood pressure again. If the Irregular
Heartbeat (IHB) Indicator appears frequently, you are advised to consult a
doctor about your health condition.

Definitions and Classifications of Blood Pressure Levels
* This unit is equipped an indicator which visually indicates the blood pressure
classification (Optimal/Normal/High-Normal/Grade 1 Hypertension/Grade 2
Hypertension/Grade 3 Hypertension) of the result after each measurement.
11. Intended Use
• This device is noninvasive blood pressure monitor by oscillometric method.
This device can measure the systolic blood pressure (SYS), the diastolic blood
pressure (DIA) and the pulse rate automatically.
• This device is intended to be used for checking personal health condition at home
under the direction of a physician and is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
• This device is not intended for use with neonates or infant, and not intended
for automatic cycling measurement.
Measure your blood pressure at the same time each day.
* Your blood pressure changes all the time. This means that data gathered over
a long period has far more significance than data from just one measurement.
For this reason, you must measure your blood pressure on a daily basis. Ideally,
you should measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, wherever
possible.
