BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT  
1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction of  
the arrow.  
N E P O  
2. Install or replace the four AAA batteries,  
oriented as shown by battery compartment  
diagram, into the battery compartment.  
3. Replace the battery cover. Ensure that the  
battery cover is securely fastened.  
Info: Ensure that the batteries are correctly  
installed. Incorrect installation will prevent the  
device from operating.  
BLOOD PRESSURE  
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  
Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

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.  
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.  
2. Relax and remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before a blood pressure  
measurement, and between blood pressure measurements.  
3. Refrain from eating, smoking, and drinking, especially alcoholic  
Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

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.  
excessive  
constriction  
5. Sit down in a chair with back support  
and place both feet on the floor.  
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.  
Info: 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.

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 picture at right. Never place the cuff over  
clothing. Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly  
around the arm and secure with the hook and loop  
fastener. The cuff should be snug, but not too tight.  
If one or two fingers 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.

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  
momentarily. 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.

Info: The low battery symbol will also appear at this time while the  
monitor checks the power level. This does not indicate that the batteries  
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.  
Diastolic

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  
deflation, press the exhaust valve button.  
Pulse rate

Info: To stop measurement in progress for whatever reason, press the  
exhaust valve button to release the pressure and turn off the device.  
Info: If during measurement the power drops to an insufficient level,  
the device will end the measurement and display the low battery  
symbol. Replace the batteries and repeat the measurement.  
Info: If the device cannot detect your pulse, it will end the  
measurement. 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  
completing a reading, or you may turn it off manually by pressing  
the ON/OFF button.

7. If performing measurement for the first time, repeat the  
measurement two or more times to ensure that you and cuff are  
positioned 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  
physician 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.

MAINTENANCE  
s NOTICE: To prevent product damage, please follow these  
recommended care and maintenance instructions:  
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.  
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. Info: Removing the batteries will erase all readings in memory.
