Basics of Blood PressureYour heart acts like a pump, sending blood surging through your
blood vessels each time it contracts. Blood pressure is the pressure
exerted by blood pumped from the heart on the walls of blood
vessels. Systolic pressure is the pressure exerted when the heart
contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. Diastolic pressure is
the pressure exerted when the heart expands, or relaxes. When
you or your doctor take your blood pressure, both your systolic and
diastolic pressures are...

6. Try to take your blood pressure measurements at the same time
and under the same conditions every day.
 The ideal time to measure your blood pressure (to obtain your so-
called “base blood pressure”) is in the morning just after waking
up, before having breakfast and before any major activity or
exercise. If this is not possible, however, try to take measurements
at a specified time prior to breakfast, and before you have become
active. You should relax for about 5 minutes before taking the...

Inserting/Replacing Batteries1. Grasp the battery cover and remove it to the left as shown in Fig. 2-a.
2. Insert two 1.5 V alkaline (AAA/LR03) batteries, observing the (+) and (-)
signs to ensure correct polarity.
3. Close the battery cover until it clicks into place (Fig. 2-b).
 Approximately 500 measurements can be taken with a new set of
Panasonic alkaline batteries (at an ambient temperature of 22°C
(71.6°F), pressurization of 180 mmH ).Fig. 2-a Fig. 2-bNotes:

10 93. Open and relax your hand with the palm
facing up. Closing your hand will cause
inaccurate readings.
 Do not bend your wrist inward. Bending
your wrist will cause inaccurate readings.
4. Empty bladder, if possible, before taking
blood pressure.
Taking measurements while lying down1. Lie on your back.
2. Rest your wrist on a support or cushion with the palm side facing up;
position your wrist at heart level.
3. Open and relax your hand with the palm facing up. Closing your hand will
cause...

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.,...

Recalling Stored Data1. Press the Recall button (Fig. 13). The  A will appear in the lower part of
the display, and then the average value of all the stored data will be
displayed (Fig. 14).
 For example, if seven data (measurements) are stored in the memory,
the average value of these seven data will be displayed. If there is no
data in the memory or if there is only one data in the memory, the  A
will not be displayed.
2. By pressing the Recall button repeatedly (Fig. 15), you can browse...

About the Precise Logic™ Measurement SystemThe blood flow (pulse wave) which influences blood pressure monitors varies
according to the conditions of the blood vessels and the structure of the arm,
making measurements by conventional methods difficult in some cases. For
more consistent, accurate results, this device employs a Precise Logic™
measurement system that verifies both the height and width of the pulse wave
in order to reliably measure blood pressure.
By using the Precise Logic™...

Symptom
The systolic pressure
value or diastolic
pressure value is high. The systolic pressure
value or diastolic
pressure value is low. The measured values
differ significantly.The measured value
differs from that
measured by the doctor.
The measured value is
different for each
measurement.The measured value
obtained is different from
that measured at the
upper arm.
Possible cause
 The hand with the cuff was held too low and
not at heart level. (See page 10.)
 The cuff was not attached properly....
