Care and Maintenance
Do not apply excessive force to the instrument or drop the instrument.
Doing so may cause damage.
Measurements may be affected if the device is used close to televisions, microwave oven,
X-ray equipment or other devices with strong electrical fields. Please measure your blood
pressure at a sufficient distance from such devices or switch them off.
If the instrument is stored at temperatures below the freezing point, do not use it
immediately.
Leave it in a warm place for at least an hour before use.
If the instrument is not allowed to warm up, it may not pressurize.
Do not insert dust or foreign objects into the instrument.
Doing so may result in damage.
If the instrument becomes dirty, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with warm water or
soapy water.
(Do not use alcohol, benzine, or paint thinner.)
Use of such chemicals may result in cracking or discoloration.
For storage, avoid high temperatures, high humidity, and direct sunlight.
Storage under such conditions may result in damage.
The cuff cannot be washed.

Q & A
Q Why are the blood pressure values measured at home different from those
measured at the doctor’s office?
A Blood pressure varies 24 hours a day.
In addition, it can change greatly depending on the weather, your mental state, exercise,
etc.
In particular, there is the phenomenon of “White coat hypertension” at doctor’s offices,
where the blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office is higher because of stress or
worry.
In addition, if the blood pressure measured at home is sometimes higher and
sometimes lower than the blood pressure measured at the doctor’s office, the
following can be considered. Please pay attention to these points when taking
measurements.
1 Is the cuff wrapped firmly?
Make sure that the cuff is not wrapped too loosely or too tightly.
Is the cuff wrapped around the upper arm? Make sure it is not partly covering the
elbow.
See page GB7 for how to wrap the cuff correctly.
2 Were you worried or upset during measurements?
Before taking measurements, take 2 or 3 deep breaths and relax, so that your blood
pressure stabilizes.

Q
The mark does not light when an arm is moved.
A
The mark is a function to notify you that your arm is bent or to indicate extra loads
on the cuff.
Therefore, it may not indicate motions (bending an arm slightly, etc.) that do not affect the
cuff.
If you are concerned about the result, retry the measurement.
Q
Since the mark was displayed, I retried the measurement by setting my arm
in the proper position. But the indicated value is still higher than usual.
A
The mark is just a guide for the proper measurement method.
If you correct your posture when the mark is displayed but the measured value is
still higher or lower than usual, retry the measurement.
The following causes are suspected.
Did you measure properly (in proper posture)?
Measure as indicated on pages GB7–GB8.
Measured immediately after smoking.
Measured when irritated or emotional.
Measured in cold environments
For persons who have a physical constitution with less fluctuation in the pulse rate.
If you are concerned about the results, retry the measurement after staying quiet for
4 to 5 minutes.
