  • Please note that this is a home healthcare product only and it is not intended to serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional.
  • This device uses oscillometric method to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate.
  • Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of pressure measurements. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any medical problem. Do not change your medications without the advice of your physician or healthcare professional.
  • Proper cuff size is critical for accurate measurements. Follow the instructions in this manual and printed on the arm cuff to ensure the appropriate size of the cuff is being used.
  • This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias. This device may have difficulty determining the proper blood pressure for pregnant women and for users with an irregular heartbeat, diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney problems, or for users who have suffered from a stroke.
  • The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers.
  • Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These may lead to temporary impairment of measurement accuracy.
  • Use blood pressure monitor only for its intended use.
  • Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other than your arm.
  • Not for use by or on persons under the age of 18.
  • Do not plug or unplug the adapter power cord with wet hands.
  • Please use only the AC adapter included with this monitor or 1.5V AA alkaline batteries for the power supply.

Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual, electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension that are publicly available from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html). Users can compare their own blood pressure readings against these defined levels to determine if they may be potentially at increased risk.

This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.

Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay above the “normal” range most of the time, you may be at increased risk and should consult your physician.

Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 20 for more information on this feature.

Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician.  It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for each individual. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement errors. When the measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.

The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. Please refer to page 20 for more information on this feature.

The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Refer to page 21 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART

DISPLAY EXPLANATIONS

Display Symbols:

If and any of the following letters and numbers appear in the area that systolic pressure should be displayed, an error has occurred with your reading. See the Troubleshooting section of this manual for more information.

INSTALLING BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED)

1. Press down on the latch and lift the battery cover to open the battery compartment.
2. Install or replace 4 “AA ” sized alkaline batteries in the battery compartment according to the indications inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery cover by pushing to the top end of the battery door.

Replace the batteries if:

• The weak battery symbol appears on the display.
• Nothing appears on the display when the power is switched on.

Replace all batteries at one time (as simultaneous set). Use only 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Remove batteries when unit is not in use for extended periods of time. Date and time will need to be reset if batteries are removed or replaced. Clean contacts on battery and in battery compartment with a soft dry cloth each time you install batteries.
Note:
Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose of them together with the household garbage.

USING THE AC ADAPTER

1. Connect the AC adapter with the AC adapter jack in the back of the unit as shown below.
2. Please use only the AC adapter included with this monitor.

Note:

  • Please unload the batteries when operating with an AC adapter for an extended period of time. Leaving the batteries in the compartment for a long time may cause leakage, which may lead to damage to the unit.
  • No batteries are needed when operating with an AC adapter.
  • Date and time will need to be reset if AC adapter is unplugged and unit is without batteries.

DATE & TIME SET PROCEDURE

  1. To adjust the date and time, press the Date/Time Set button.
  2. The display will show a blinking number showing the MONTH. Change the MONTH by pressing the + button. Each press will increase the number by one in a cycling manner. Press the Date/Time Set button again to confirm the entry, and the screen will show a blinking number representing the DAY.
  3. Change the DAY, HOUR, and MINUTE as described in Step 2 above, using the + button to change the numbers and the Date/Time Set button to confirm the entries.

USING THE ARM CUFF

Very Important: Proper cuff size is critical to accurate measurement.
This monitor comes with two sizes of arm cuffs:
Standard Size Fits 9”–13” (23 cm – 33 cm)
Large Size Fits 13”–17” (33 cm – 43 cm)
The appropriate cuff is suitable for your use if the colored arrow falls within the solid color line as shown below.

  1. If the cuff is not assembled, pass the end of the cuff furthest away from the tubing through the metal D-ring in order to form a loop. The smooth side without the felt material should be on the inside of the cuff loop.
  2. Plug the cuff tube into the left side of the unit.
  3. Open the arm cuff so that your arm may be placed through it.
  4. Remove tight fitting clothing from your upper left arm so that the cuff can be wrapped around your exposed arm.
  5. Position cuff edge 0.8-1.2 inches (2-3 cm) above elbow.
  6. Center tube over middle of arm.
  7. Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens evenly around your arm. Press the hook and loop material together to secure. Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and your arm.
  8. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.

Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should be made using the same arm.

To use on the right arm, you must position the artery symbol “Φ ” over the main artery. Locate the main artery by pressing with two fingers approximately 1” (2 cm) above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your right arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is your main artery.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:

  • Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
  • Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
  • Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking measurements.
  • During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
  • See page 24 for additional notes regarding your blood pressure measurement.

If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first time, please remove the protective film from the screen.

  1. Press the User-Select button to choose User 1 or User 2.
  2. With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press the START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless it is wrapped around your arm. All digits will light up to check the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed after about 3 seconds.
  3. After all, symbols disappear, the display will show “00”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will automatically inflate the cuff to begin measurement. The cuff will then start deflating as measurement continues.

    Note:
    This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system detects that your body requires more pressure for measurement.
  4. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will deflate entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored in memory.

Note:

  • This monitor automatically turns off approximately 1 minute after the last operation. You may also press the START/STOP button to turn the unit off.
  • To interrupt the measurement, you may press the START/STOP (recommended), MEMORY, User- Select, or Date/Time Set () buttons. The cuff will deflate immediately after a button is pressed.

RISK CATEGORY INDEX

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each reading to defined levels established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Heart Lung and Blood Institute as described earlier in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls in the normal range as defined by NIH. Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)

The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is not a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Movement, shaking or talking during the measurement can result in pulse irregularities that may cause the appearance of this icon. Therefore, it is of great importance to not move or talk during measurement.

To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal effective heartbeat values. It is important to note that the average is not a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats with 25% or greater difference from the average heartbeat interval will generate the   icon on the screen.

Important Information:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem. As a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation, or any other special conditions you should check with your physician before using your blood pressure monitor.

RECALLING VALUES FROM MEMORY

This monitor can be used by two individuals. Each user can store up to 60 measurements.

1. Press the User-Select button to select User 1 or User 2.

2. Press the MEMORY button to access the memory.

3. The monitor will first display the calculated average applied to the last 3 memories.

4. Every new press of the MEMORY button will recall a previous reading. The latest reading will be recalled first.

CLEARING VALUES FROM MEMORY

1. Press the User-Select button to select User 1 or User 2.

2. Press and hold the Date/Time Set buttons ( +) at the same time while in memory recall mode, and the data for the selected user will be erased automatically.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

  • Take your reading in a comfortable environment as measurements can be affected by hot or cold temperatures. Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature.
  • Do not move or talk during measurement as this can elevate readings.
  • Do not move or cross legs during measurement. Keep feet flat on the floor.
  • Do not touch the cuff or monitor during the measurement procedure.
  • It is suggested that you take your measurements at the same time each day and use the same arm for consistency.
  • Users should wait a minimum of 5 minutes before taking additional measurements. More time may be necessary depending upon your physiology.
  • The measurement results that users receive are for reference only. If users have any blood pressure concerns, please consult a physician.

Instructions for Use

Always check fabric labels for recommendations before steaming. Test colorfastness in an inconspicuous spot. Some fabrics can be steamed better from the underside of the material. Heavy fabrics may require repeated steaming. Never steam a garment while it is being worn.

  1. Remove the water tank from the unit by grasping the handle and turning upside down. Unscrew the cap from the bottom of the water tank. Hold the tank under cold running water and fill to the desired level (Fig. 6). DO NOT fill past the 45 min. fill line. When you have finished filling the tank screw the cap back on and turn it over (Fig. 7). Place water tank back into the unit and make sure it is sitting properly & securely in the cavity.

    NOTE:
    • Only fill the water tank with cold water. Do NOT use hot water.
    • Do not use any additives in the water such as fabric softeners, scents, bleach, and starch. They will damage the garment steamer and your garment.
  2. Plug the steamer cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
  3. Turn the On/Off switch to the On position. The switch will light to indicate that the garment steamer is on. Steam will emit in 45 seconds from the nozzle.
  4. Hang the garment onto the hanger attachment (Fig 8). Steam the garment in an up/down motion starting from the top of the garment to the bottom.  Always keep the hose and nozzle elevated above the water container.
  5. This unit has a reset button (Fig. 10). When the unit runs out of water it will automatically shut off to ensure safe use and the red indicator light will come on above the reset button. If you wish to continue your steaming session:
    • Turn On/Off switch to “Off” position and unplug the power cord
    • Remove and refill water tank by following Step 1 under Instructions for Use
    • Plug the steamer cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
    • Push the reset button on side of unit

    Helps remove light lint from clothing
    – Remove protective sheet from lint roller.
    – Roll sticky surface of lint roller over area of lint on clothing.
    – Pull off used outer sheet and tear at perforation to expose new sticky surface.
    – Replace protective sheet to preserve sticky surface for next use.

Cleaning and Maintenance

  1. Be sure the steamer is turned off and unplugged.
  2. Allow the steamer to cool for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Empty any excess water from the water tank and allow it to air dry before replacing the cap and setting it back in the unit.
  4. Empty excess water from the reservoir by tipping the unit over a sink.

Storing

  1. Open the 3 clips (Fig. 2) on the telescopic pole and glide it slowly to collapse being careful not to pinch your fingers. When it is all the way down close the 3 clips back into place.
  2. Coil the hose and place it on the hanger attachment (Fig. 9)
  3. Store in a cool, dry place.

Removing Mineral Buildup

One common problem with steamers is mineral buildup caused by the high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. Mineral residue inside of the internal pipes and heater can cause intermittent steaming or in severe cases no steaming at all.
The best way to avoid this is to use demineralized or distilled water in the unit. The procedure below can be used to clear mineral buildup. If you are unable to use demineralized or distilled water we recommend you use this procedure every 30 hours of operation to help avoid mineral buildup.

  1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord.
  2. Unscrew and remove the hose from the hose connector on the top of the unit.
  3. Remove the pole from the unit.
  4. Remove the water tank from the main unit and drain any water in the unit over a sink.
  5. Make a mixture of 4 oz. white vinegar and 4 oz. water. In most cases, 1 cup of this mixture will be sufficient.
  6. Slowly pour the water-vinegar mixture into the hose connector (Fig. 11).
    a. If the internal piping is only partially blocked by mineral buildup, the water-vinegar mixture will soon start flowing out of the water intake hole. If this happens proceed to step 8.
    b. If the internal piping is completely blocked, continue to pour the mixture into the hose connector until full.
  7. Pour the water-vinegar mixture into the water intake hole until full.
  8. Let stand for 40 minutes.
  9. Drain the water-vinegar mixture from hose connector or the reservoir by tipping the unit over a sink.
  10. Pour clean water through the hose connector and water intake hole until the vinegar smell dissipates.
  11. Drain the residual water from hose connector or the reservoir by tipping the unit over a sink. Reassemble the unit and operate normally.

If the procedure above does not return the unit to normal operation, the unit may need servicing.

Trouble Shooting the Steamer

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Steamer fails to heat Steamer not plugged in

ON/OFF switch not in “ON” position

Auto shut off engaged

Plug in to electrical outlet

Push switch to the “ON” position. Switch will illuminate.

Check water container to ensure it is not empty. If full, press the reset button on side of unit. If empty, refill and push reset to begin.

No steam Water level is low Turn-ON/OFF switch OFF and refill water container
Water drips from nozzle Condensation in hose Hold the hose vertically and allow water to drain back into tank
Nozzle gurgles Condensation in hose Hold the hose vertically and allow water to drain back into tank
Steam is intermittent Mineral build-up Follow the procedure for removing mineral build-up

NOTE:

  1. Water mineral content and conditions will vary in different areas. To ensure continued operation of the steamer, never store without cleaning and removing excess water from the reservoir and water container.
  2. If the reset light comes on with water in the tank you probably need to remove mineral buildup.
  3. In areas where the voltage exceeds 120V, it may be necessary to clean your unit more frequently.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension that are publicly available from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html). Users can compare their own blood pressure readings against these defined levels to determine if they may be potentially at increased risk.

This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.

Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay above the “normal” range most of the time, you may be at increased risk and should consult your physician.

Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 19 for more information on this feature.

Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for each individual. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts.

Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement errors. When the measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.

The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 19 for more information on this feature.

The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Refer to page 20 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART

DISPLAY EXPLANATIONS

Display Symbols:

If  and any of the following letters and numbers appear in the area that systolic pressure should be displayed, an error has occurred with your reading. See the Troubleshooting section of this manual for more information.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

1. The battery cover is located along the side of the monitor. Remove the battery cover by pressing down and pulling away from the monitor.

2. Install batteries according to the polarity indications inside the compartment (as shown in figure 2). Battery Type: 2 Alkaline LR03 “AAA” size

3. Insert the other battery, according to the polarity indications inside the compartment (as shown in figure 3).

4. Replace the cover by inserting it back into place.

Replace the batteries if:

• The weak battery symbol appears on the display.
• Nothing appears on the display when the power is switched on.

As the supplied batteries are for test only, they may be discharged earlier than batteries you buy in stores. Replace all batteries at one time (as a simultaneous set). Use only 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries. Remove batteries when the unit is not in use for extended periods of time. The date and time will need to be reset if batteries are removed or replaced. Clean contacts on the battery and in the battery compartment with a soft dry cloth each time you install batteries.

Note:
Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose of them together with the household garbage.

DATE & TIME SET PROCEDURE

1. To adjust the date and time, press the DATE/TIME SET button located on the top of the monitor.
2. The display will show a blinking number showing the HOUR. Change the HOUR by pressing the button. Each press will increase the number by one in a cycling manner. Press the DATE/TIME SET button again to confirm the entry, and the screen will show a blinking number representing the MINUTE.
3. Change the MINUTE, MONTH, DAY, and YEAR as described in Step 2 above, using the button to change the numbers and the DATE/TIME SET button to confirm the entries.

APPLYING THE CUFF

1. Remove all watches, wrist jewelry, etc. prior to attaching the wrist monitor. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up and the cuff should be wrapped around bare skin for correct measurements.

2. Apply the cuff to the left wrist with the palm facing up as shown in Fig. A.

3. Make sure the edge of the cuff is about 1/4”~1/2” (1 cm) from the palm as shown in Fig. B.

4. In order to ensure accurate measurements, fasten the hook and loop strap securely around your wrist so there is no extra space between the cuff and the wrist. If the cuff is not wrapped tight enough, the measurement values will not be accurate.

5. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left arm, place the cuff around your right wrist as shown in Fig. C.

Note:
• This device should not be used when your wrist is wounded or injured.
• If it is not possible to use the cuff on your left wrist, it can also be used on your right wrist. However, all measurements should be made using the same wrist.

CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE

1. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart as shown in Fig. A. Relax your entire body, especially between your elbow and fingers.

Note: Your heart is located slightly below your armpit.

2. If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you cannot keep your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your wrist as shown in Fig. B.

3. Turn your palm upwards.

4. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.

Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken as shown in Fig. C.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:

  • Position the monitor at the same level as your heart during measurement to ensure accurate readings.
  • Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
  • Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition, and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
  • Before a measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking measurements.
  • During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
  • See page 22 for additional notes regarding your blood pressure measurement.

If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first time, please remove the protective film from the screen.

1. With the cuff wrapped around your wrist, press the START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless it is wrapped around your wrist. All digits will light up, checking the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed after about 3 seconds.

2. After all symbols disappear, the display will show “00”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will automatically inflate the cuff to begin measurement. The cuff will then begin deflating as measurement continues.

Note:
The monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system detects that your body requires more pressure for measurement.

3. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will deflate entirely and systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored in memory.

Note:

  • This monitor automatically turns off approximately 1 minute after the last operation. You may also press the START/STOP button to turn the unit off.
  • To interrupt the measurement, you may press the START/STOP button (recommended), the MEMORY button, or DATE/TIME SET () buttons. The cuff will deflate immediately after a button is pressed.

RISK CATEGORY INDEX

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each reading to defined levels established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Heart Lung and Blood Institute as described earlier in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls in the normal range as defined by NIH. Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)

The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is not a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Movement, shaking, or talking during the measurement can result in pulse irregularities that may cause the appearance of this icon. Therefore, it is of great importance to not move or talk during measurement.

To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal effective heartbeat values. It is important to note that the average is not a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats with a 25% or greater difference from the average heartbeat interval will generate the icon on the screen.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem. As a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you should check with your physician before using your blood pressure monitor.

RECALLING VALUES FROM MEMORY

1. Press the MEMORY button to access the memory.

2. Every new press of the MEMORY button will recall a previous reading. The latest reading will be recalled first.

CLEARING VALUES FROM MEMORY

Press and hold the and buttons at the same time while in memory recall mode and the data will be erased automatically.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

  • Take your reading in a comfortable environment as measurements can be affected by hot or cold temperatures. Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature.
  • Do not move or talk during measurement as this can elevate readings.
  • Do not move or cross legs during measurement. Keep feet flat on the floor.
  • Do not touch the cuff or monitor during the measurement procedure.
  • It is suggested that you take your measurements at the same time each day and use the same wrist for consistency.
  • Users should wait a minimum of 5 minutes before taking additional measurements. More time may be necessary depending upon your physiology.
  • The measurement results that users receive are for reference only. If users have any blood pressure concerns, please consult a physician.
  • Once inflation reaches 300 mmHg, the unit will deflate automatically for safety reasons.
  • This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias.

Unique Features and Specifications

Ultrasonic Technology
This humidifier uses ultrasonic high frequency technology to convert the water into 1-5 million super particles that are dispersed into the air evenly.

Night Light
A useful night light feature is included for your convenience.

Auto Shut-Off Protection
When the tank is empty the unit will shut off automatically.

Voltage                                           Watts                  Tank Capacity
110–120V/60Hz                            25                        gallon – 3.78 liters

Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

How To Use
CAUTION: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.

How To Use

Power/Mist Knob
Plug unit into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Turn the POWER/MIST ( ) knob clockwise to
turn the humidifier on.

ATTENTION: When the water in the tank is almost empty, the humidifying function will power off
to indicate to the user to refill the tank.

Mist Adjustment Setting
Mist adjusts from MINIMUM ( ) mist to MAXIMUM ( ) mist. To increase the mist output,
turn the POWER/MIST knob clockwise. To decrease mist output, turn the POWER/MIST knob
counter-clockwise.

Night Light
Press the NIGHT LIGHT ( ) button to turn on the night light. The surround around the
POWER/MIST knob will glow softly.

How to Fill
CAUTION: Before filling unit with water, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.
Note: Always use two hands to carry the water tank.

  1. Grasp tank handle and lift up from humidifier base.
  2. Turn the tank upside down—remove the tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
  3. Fill the water tank with clean, cool (not cold) water. We recommend using distilled water if you live in a hard water area.
  4. Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise until tight.
  5. Install the tank back on the base of the unit. Make sure the tank is firmly seated.

About White Dust:
Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust.”
The higher the mineral content (or, the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals
suspended in the water.

How and Why To Use Demineralization Cartridges:
The HoMedics demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust, a deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your humidifier. The cartridge should be replaced every 30 – 40 fillings. The cartridge may need to be replaced more often if you are using very hard water. Replace the cartridge when you notice an increase in white dust build-up. If white dust still forms around the humidifier after a new cartridge has been installed, consider using distilled water. To purchase new demineralization cartridges, model # HUM-HDDC4-6CTM, go
back to the retailer (where you purchased your humidifier), or visit www.homedics.com

If you live in an area with hard water, or use a water softener, we recommend usingdistilled water for better results from your humidifier. Never use water softening additives in your humidifier.

Installing Instructions

  1.  Remove demineralization cartridge from packaging and let it soak in water for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the tank from humidifier base. (Fig. 3)
  3. Place the soaked demineralization cartridge into the matching slot in the humidifier base. (Fig. 9)
  4. Place the tank back on the base, making sure the tank is firmly seated. (Fig. 7)

Note: Demineralization cartridge has no top or bottom. Either side can
face upward.

Cleaning and Care

CAUTION: Before cleaning the unit, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.

Tank Cleaning
Remove the water tank from the humidifier base by lifting it from the main unit. Unscrew the tank cap and rinse inside the tank with clean water. To remove any scale or build up, use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and lukewarm water to clean the inside of the tank.
Suggestion: Clean the water tank once every two to three weeks, depending on your water conditions.

To Clean the Ultrasonic Membrane:
Put a small amount of mild dish soap on the surface of the ultrasonic membrane, then pour in some water and soak for 5 minutes. Brush clean with soft bristle brush (not included) and rinse. (Fig. 11)
Suggestion: Clean the membrane once every two to three weeks, depending on your water conditions.

NOTE: Never submerge the base in water or any liquid.
Surface Cleaning Clean the surface of the unit with a clean damp soft cloth as often as needed. (Fig. 12)

  • Press the Tx button on the back of remote sensor to verify the RF reception.
  • It is recommended to test the home receiver and the remote sensor next to each other to ensure that both are properly synchronized.
  • Keep the remote sensor out of direct sunlight and rain. Do not mount on a metal surface.

About the Atomic Clock

The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with an accuracy of 1 second per every 3,000 years. The signal will cover a distance up to 2,000 miles from the source. Like a typical AM radio, your Atomic Clock will not able to receive the WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. The reception of the time signal can be affected by mobile phones, TV, electrical appliances or other electronic interference. To get the best performance of the Atomic clock, please install the home receiver near a window and away from large metallic objects. If the unit is not working properly, change the unit position. There may be some interference at this location.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Indoor and Outdoor temperatures do not match when placed next to each other –

Each sensor is manufactured to be +/- 2 degrees in accuracy under normal conditions. So it is possible to have up to four degrees difference shown on the separate temperature sensors (one could be “+2 degree” and the other “-2 degrees”. Additionally, the calibration curve is different between the two units because of the greater temperature range of the outdoor sensor. Errors are usually noted on the extreme ends of the temperature ranges.

Base unit is not accepting remote transmissions –

The units may not be properly synchronized or the batteries may need to be replaced. See “GETTING STARTED” section beginning on page 2 of the instructions for detailed instructions. With the two units next to each other, attempt synchronization. Remember to always place the remote sensor within the effective transmission range and away from large metal surfaces.

What is the recommended battery type?

Your units will come with 4 “AA” alkaline batteries (2 “AA” batteries required for each unit). We recommend using only alkaline batteries for replacements.

Where can I mount the remote sensor?

To get accurate readings and to prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend that you mount it out of direct sunlight and rain. Fog and mist will not affect the sensor, but large volumes of soaking rain may. To guard against this, we recommend that you mount it under the eve of your house, your garage or any other suitable place that will keep it out of direct sun and rain.

Outdoor Temperature Reading shows “- -”

This is usually an indication that the channel selector (located in the top left corner of the home receiver) is set incorrectly to receive the signal from the remote sensor. If you have only one remote sensor, ensure that the channel selector is set to “1”. To change the channel, press the “channel” button located on the front of the home receiver.

The home receiver may also be “scrolling” – looking for sensor readings from more than one remote sensor. This home receiver can support up to three remote sensors (only one is included). If it is looking for more than one remote sensor, a “ ” icon will appear below the channel designator. Again, to select a reading from just one remote sensor, press the “channel” button to remove the scroll icon and ensure that the channel selected now reads “1”.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends  blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension that are publicly available from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html). Users can compare their own blood pressure readings against these defined levels to determine if they may be potentially at increased risk.

This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.

Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay above the “normal” range most of the time, you may be at increased risk and should consult your physician.

Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 24 for more information on this feature.

Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse. This technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for each individual. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.

Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes before measurement as measurements taken in a relaxed state have greater accuracy. The Rest Assure function provides a helpful countdown of the last 5 minutes of this suggested time. Refer to page 14 for more information on this feature.

The Triple Check Measurement System automatically takes and averages three readings for accuracy you can trust. Refer to page 14 for more information on this feature.

The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. Please refer to page 24 for more information on this feature.

The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Refer to page 25 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

The Rest Assure function will count down the last 5 minutes before automatically starting the measurement. To turn this feature OFF, slide the switch on the back to the OFF position.

USING TRIPLE CHECK MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

The Triple Check Measurement System automatically takes and averages three readings in a row, with 1 minute rest intervals in between each measurement. To deactivate this feature and take only a single reading, slide the switch on the back to the OFF position.

USING THE ARM CUFF

Very Important:
Proper cuff size is critical to accurate measurement.
This monitor comes with two sizes of arm cuffs:
Standard Size Fits 9”–13” (23 cm – 33 cm)
Large Size Fits 13”–17” (33 cm – 43 cm)
The appropriate cuff is suitable for your use if the colored arrow falls within the solid color line as shown below.

  1.  If the cuff is not assembled, pass the end of the cuff furthest away from the tubing through the metal D-ring in order to form a loop. The smooth side without the felt material should be on the inside of the cuff loop.
  2. Plug the cuff tube into the left side of the unit.
  3. Open the arm cuff so that your arm may be placed through it.
  4. Remove tight fitting clothing from your upper left arm so that the cuff can be wrapped around your exposed arm.
  5. Position cuff edge 0.8-1.2 inches (2-3 cm) above elbow.
  6. Center tube over middle of arm.
  7. Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens evenly around your arm. Press the hook and loop material together to secure. Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and your arm.
  8. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.

Note:

  • This device should not be used when your arm is injured or wounded.
  • If it is not possible to fit the cuff on your left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should be made using the same arm.
  • To use on the right arm, you must position the artery symbol “ ” over the main artery. Locate the main artery by pressing with two fingers approximately 1” (2 cm) above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your right arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is your main artery.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:

  • Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
  • Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
  • Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
  • During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
  • See page 31 for additional notes regarding your blood pressure measurement.

If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first time, please remove the protective film from the screen.

  4. After all symbols disappear, the display will show “00”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will automatically inflate the cuff to begin measurement. The cuff will begin deflating as measurement continues.
    Note:
    This monitor will reinflate automatically if the system detects that your body requires more pressure for measurement.
  5. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will deflate entirely. Once the cuff is fully deflated, a 1 minute countdown will begin before starting the second measurement automatically. This process will continue until the end of the third measurement.
    Note:
    • If an ERROR code is displayed during measurement, the monitor will repeat the measurement up to 3 times during the consecutive measurement process.
    • Remain still until all 3 measurements are completed.
  6. At the conclusion of the third measurement, the Triple Check average will be displayed.

To review your individual results that make the Triple Check average, press thebutton.

RISK CATEGORY INDEX

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each reading to defined levels established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Heart Lung and Blood Institute as described earlier in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)

The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is not a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Movement, shaking or talking during the measurement can result in pulse irregularities that may cause the appearance of this icon. Therefore, it is of great importance to not move or talk during measurement.

To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal effective heartbeat values. It is important to note that the average is not a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats with 25% or greater difference from the average heartbeat  interval will generate the icon on the screen.

Important Information:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem. As a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you should check with your physician before using your blood pressure monitor.

USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION

This monitor can be used by 2 users. Each user can store up to 120 measurements.
This monitor features an advanced memory mode to provide you with a variety of options for reviewing your measurement history, including AM/PM Averaging. Reviewing your morning (AM) and nighttime (PM) blood pressures can provide important information about how your blood pressure changes throughout the day.

Note:
A Triple Check average and the 3 measurements that make this average, count as 4 readings when stored in memory.

To use the memory function:

  1. Press the USER-SELECT button to select User 1 or User 2.
  2. Press the MEM button to access memory.
  3. The monitor will first display the calculated average applied to the last 3 memories.

Note:

  • If the last 3 readings were a Triple Check average, then the Triple Check average will be displayed.
  • Memory averaging function will only average individual readings.

5. Every new press of the MEM button will recall a previous reading. The latest reading will be recalled first.
Note:
While reviewing the readings, the Triple Check Average icon may appear on the screen. Press the button to review individual readings that make up the Triple Check average.

CLEARING VALUES FROM MEMORY

  1. Press the USER-SELECT button to select User 1 or User 2.
  2. Press and hold the DATE/TIME and buttons () at the same time while mmHg in memory recall mode and the data for the selected user will be erased automatically. DIA.

To Clean the Surface

Clean the surface of your diffuser with a clean, damp, soft cloth as often as needed.

To Clean the Reservoir and Ultrasonic Membrane

We recommend wiping the reservoir with a clean, damp, soft cloth at least once every 2 weeks.

NOTE: Depending on your usage, and the amount of essential oil you use, you may want to clean the reservoir and ultrasonic membrane more frequently for best performance.

For the most thorough clean, pour a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water into the reservoir, then soak for five minutes. Brush reservoir walls, base, and ultrasonic membrane clean with a soft-bristle brush (not included) and rinse. NEVER touch the
ultrasonic membrane with your fingers, as the natural oils in skin can damage the membrane.

Clean the membrane once every two to three weeks, depending on your usage.

Clean and dry the unit before extended periods of inactivity.
