  electromagnetic influences.

• Do not swing the device with the strap, which may result in injury.

• This device displays changes in heart beat, blood pressure, etc. which may have varying causes. These may be harmless, but may also be triggered by illnesses or diseases of differing degrees of severity. Please consult a medical specialist if you believe you may have an illness or disease.

• Vital sign measurements, such as those taken with this device, cannot identify all diseases. Regardless of the measurements taken using this device, you should consult your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that could indicate a serious disease.

• Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate based on this device without consulting your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.

• It is not possible to use this device to diagnose illnesses or diseases. This is exclusively the responsibility of your doctor.

• Clean the device and cuffs with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth moistened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinners, or other harsh chemicals to clean the device or cuffs.

• Avoid tightly folding the cuffs or wrapping the hoses for long periods, to avoid shortening the component use period.

• The device and cuffs are not water-resistant. Keep rain, sweat and water from getting on the device and cuffs.

• Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to televisions, microwave ovens, mobiles phones, X-rays, or other devices with strong electrical fields.

• Do not modify the device. It may cause damage to the device.

• To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause pain, numbness, or a temporary red mark on the arm. This condition will appear especially when measurements are repeatedly taken. Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.

• Do not apply the cuff on an arm with another electronic medical device. The equipment may not function properly.

3.2 Blood Pressure Measurement
3.2.1 Before Taking Measurements
To help ensure accurate measurements, follow these directions:

• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking measurements.
• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements when stressed.
• Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
• A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several results over a period of time.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day to maintain consistency.

3.2.2 Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1 to 2 cm above the elbow joint, as shown.
2. Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse and result in measurement errors.
3. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings.
4. Confirm that the artery position mark is lined up with the artery.

Note：Keep the host wear position aligned with the middle finger.
3.2.3 Sitting Correctly
To take measurements, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated. Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table, so that the cuff is level with your heart. 3.2.4 Measuring Blood Pressure

1. Power on the blood pressure monitor.
2. Press the Start/Stop button to start taking blood pressure measurements.
3. The monitor will automatically deflate the cuff slowly while taking measurements. A typical measurement takes about 30s.
4. The readings will be displayed when the measurement is finished.

You can press Start/Stop button again to stop the blood pressure measurement.
Note: While taking measurements, you should remain still and not squeeze the cuff.
3.2.5 After Taking Measurements
The monitor will automatically release the gas in the cuff once finished taking measurements.
Press the button to turn the power off after taking measurements. Remove the cuff.
Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns off the power automatically 2 minutes after taking measurements.
3.3 Reviewing History Records
You can review the history results on the History screen.
Pressure Function button to enter the History screen. The last measurement results will be displayed by default. To view the next records, press the NEXT button.
