Helpful information  
What is Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts on  
the arteries. This force is constantly changing as  
the heart beats. When the heart contracts, blood  
pressure reaches its highest value. This is called  
systolic blood pressure. When the heart relaxes  
between beats, the value of blood pressure is  
lower. This is called the diastolic blood pressure.  
The unit of measure for blood pressure is the mil-  
limeter of mercury, abbreviated  
For example, an individual’s blood pressure may  
be measured as 120  
(systolic) and 80  
(diastolic). This would be spoken as “120  
over 80” and written as  
Remember  
that blood pressure varies throughout the day.  
Food intake, smoking, time of day, stress, level  
of exercise and many other factors can affect it.

What is High Blood Pressure?  
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condi-  
tion where an individual’s blood pressure  
 
remains high over a long period of time.  
Untreated, hypertension can cause many seri-  
ous medical problems including strokes and  
heart attacks. To control hypertension, the  
American Heart Association recommends that  
you not smoke, reduce fat and salt intake, main-  
tain proper weight, exercise and get regular  
physical check-ups.  
Why Is It Important to Measure Your Blood  
Pressure at Home?  
Having your blood pressure taken at the doctor’s  
office may cause you to become nervous, thus  
artificially raising your reading. Having the ability  
to take your blood pressure at home makes it easy  
to record a log of your daily readings. This will  
help you gain a greater understanding of your  
blood pressure reading and the factors that effect  
it. Be sure that you share your information with  
your physician.  
Hints for Accurate Measurement  
1) Relax and try to remain still for 5 to 10 min-  
utes before a measurement.  
2) Remove shirts or other tight-fitting garments  
on the wrist (for example wristwatches) and  
upper arm before applying the wrist cuff.  
3) Refrain from eating, smoking, and drinking  
(especially alcoholic beverages) before a  
measurement since these activities can  
affect your blood pressure.  
4) Remember that blood pressure varies contin-  
uously throughout the day. Try to take your  
 
blood pressure at  
time each day.  
5) Do not be concerned with the results of one  
measurement. Many measurements, record-  
ed over a long period of time, will provide a  
better indication of your blood pressure.  
6) Please relax for 5 to 10 minutes before taking  
another measurement.  
7) Many factors can affect your blood pressure  
such as exercising, eating, talking, moving,  
nervousness, environment and temperature  
changes. Emotional stress can cause an  
increase in blood pressure. Daily fluctuations  
of 25 to 50  
are common.  
Using a Wrist Unit  
Taking your blood pressure at the wrist may  
give different readings than from the upper arm  
as is done in most doctor offices. Because of  
the location of measurement and differences in  
arterial diameters, a healthy person may see a  
maximum difference oft/- 10  
in both  
systolic and diastolic measurements, versus  
those taken with an arm unit with cuff.  
Please note: Some individuals with hypertension,  
diabetes, kidney disorders, arteriosclerosis or  
poor circulation may see a significant difference  
in blood pressure readings taken from the wrist  
as compared to readings from the upper arm. It  
is recommended that you consult with your  
physician concerning the use of this monitor.  
 
Correct Method of Measurement  
To obtain the most accurate blood pressure  
measurement, please follow these important,  
directions.  
l
Be seated in a chair with back support.  
Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at the  
same level as your heart.  
l
l
l
Use the storage case or similar item to sup-  
port the forearm. (see diagram A)  
Place both feet on the ground.

IMPORTANT: The wrist cuff must be at the  
same level as your heart, or accurate measure-  
ment will not be possible. (Your heart is located  
slightly below your left armpit).

Preparation Before Taking a Measurement  
Battery Installation/Replacement  
1) Slide the battery cover  
off in the direction of  
the arrow.  
2) Install or replace the  
two AA batteries, noting  
the proper orientation  
of positive (t) and neg-  
ative (-) terminals of  
the batteries in the  
battery compartment.  
Alkaline batteries are  
recommended.  
3) Replace the battery  
cover.  
4) If the Low Battery Symbol appears on the  
display, replace both batteries.  
5) Remove the batteries if the unit will not be  
used for an extended period of time.  
How to Apply the Wrist Cuff  
(These directions are for either right or left hand  
measurements.)  
1) With your palm side up,  
apply the cuff so that the  
cuff’s edge should be  
approximately  
to  
inch from your palm. You  
can use the width of your  
forefinger as a simple  
way to measure the dis-  
tance between the cuff

and palm. (diagram

Do not apply wrist unit  
on top of a shirt sleeve.  
Wrap the cuff snugly  
around your wrist and  
attach using the fas-  
tener. The top and bot-  
tom edges of the cuff  
should be tightened  
evenly around your  
wrist. (diagram C)

Any gap between the  
wrist and cuff will

measurement.

of viewing the display.

Taking a Measurement  
Please review the previous sections on proper  
placement of the cuff and proper arm position.  
1) After the cuff has been properly placed on  
either the right or left wrist, press the ON/OFF  
button. All display symbols will appear  
momentarily. Note: The low battery symbol  
will also appear at this time. This does not  
indicate a low battery unless the low battery  
symbol remains on continuously.  
2) After the display reads  
button.  
press the START  
3) The cuff will automatically inflate to an appropri-  
ate pressure, and will then begin to slowly deflate

snug for a short while; this is normal. Try to remain  
relaxed, refrain from talking, and be as still as pos-  
sible during the measurement Note: If the unit  
determines that the initial inflation pressure was  
insufficient, it will re-inflate to a higher pressure.  
4) After the measurement cycle is finished, the  
unit will release any remaining air in the cuff.  
The systolic and diastolic pressure will be dis-  
played for 5 seconds and then be replaced by  
the pulse rate. The blood pressure reading and  
pulse rate will then be displayed alternately.  
For any reason you feel a need to end a meas-  
urement, just press the ON/OFF button to turn  
off the monitor and release the cuff pressure.  
If during a measurement the power drops to an  
insufficient level, the monitor will end the meas-  
urement and display the low battery symbol.  
Please replace the batteries and repeat the  
measurement.  
If the monitor cannot detect your pulse, it will  
end the measurement attempt. Wait a few min-  
utes, make sure that the cuff is positioned prop-  
erly, and try again.  
The monitor will automatically shut off 3 minutes  
following a reading, or it can be turned off man-  
ually by pressing the ON/OFF button.  
 
Memory Function  
Memory Input  
Your Sunbeam Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor has  
a memory feature. When a valid measurement is  
made, the reading data (systolic, diastolic and  
pulse rate) will be stored in the memory auto-  
matically as soon as the unit is turned off,  
automatically shuts off, or when another  
measurement is initiated. The monitor has the  
capacity to store 14 readings, and also computes  
an average of all memory readings. When more  
than 14 readings are taken and recorded to  
memory, the oldest ones will be lost.  
Memory Recall  
To recall your last reading, press the MEMORY  
button. A “1” will appear in the lower right hand  
corner of the display which represents the  
newest memory reading. When the memory but-  
ton is pressed again, the display will show  
which represents the second newest reading,  
and so on. The memory will recall up to 14 pre-  
vious readings. When the letter “A” appears in  
the display, the average value of your systolic,  
diastolic and pulse rate based on the memory  
readings is shown.  
Memory Erase  
When the batteries are taken out of the monitor,  
all records of readings saved in memory will be  
erased. NOTE: When taking a measurement,  
the MEMORY button is inactive.
