HOW 702 WORKS  
?
LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate  
and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology  
is based on the “oscillometric method” — a noninvasive blood  
pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any  
measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. The cuff is  
first inflated until the artery is fully occluded. Then, the monitor  
takes measurements while the cuff deflates. Our monitors exam-  
ine the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it  
expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.  
BEFORE YOU START  
You must install 4 type AA (1.5 volt) batteries and attach the  
cuff to the monitor before using it. To install batteries (or replace  
them if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on display), proceed  
as follows:  
1. Remove battery compartment cover  
by gently pushing down on arrow and  
sliding cover forward.  
2. Put in top row of batteries first. Place the  
batteries in compartment with positive (+)  
and negative (–) terminals matching those  
indicated in the compartment. Be sure  
batteries make contact with compartment  
terminals.  
3. Replace cover by sliding it into  
the compartment and gently pressing  
into place.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF  
Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading.  
A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than  
the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small yields a  
measurement that is higher. With your arm hanging at the side  
of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm  
at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE  
Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:  
Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement.  
Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.  
Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm  
to measure pressure.  
Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:  
1.Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat sur-  
face so that the center of your  
upper arm is at the same height  
as your heart.  
2.Lay left arm on the table, palm  
up and thread cuff end through  
metal loop, smooth side against  
arm. Then position the tube off-  
center toward the inner side of  
arm in line with the little finger.  
3.Pull the end of the cuff to tight-  
en it, fold back the extra materi-  
al,andfastensecurely. The cuff  
should be snug but not too tight.  
You should be able to insert two  
fingers between the cuff and  
your arm.  
IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE  
IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day.  
4. Press the POWER button.  
5. Watch for all display symbols to appear briefly, followed by a  
zero, indicating that monitor is ready for measurement.  
6. Watch the display and squeeze the bulb quickly until cuff  
pressure reaches about 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg above expected  
systolic pressure. To help you determine the correct inflation  
level, the monitor is programmed to beep quickly three times  
at each of the four preset pressure levels (160, 200, 240, and  
280). We recommend using the chart shown below to  
determine which preset measurement to use. If the  
“re-measure“ symbol appears, pressure is not sufficient for  
reading and measurement must be taken again.

NOTE: Beeping sound may be difficult to hear due to its pitch.  
Watch the display for the correct inflation level.  
Be sure to completely deflate the cuff before use.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE  
7. Sit quietly during measurement. Pressure values are displayed  
at left, then right, along with symbol blinks and beeps with  
pulse beat.  
NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the exhaust  
valve to release air.  
8. Wait for the long beep, indicating that the measurement is  
complete. Your systolic pressure will appear on the left and  
your diastolic pressure on the right of the display screen,  
alternating with pulse reading.  
9. Press the exhaust valve to release the air from the cuff. The  
monitor shuts off automatically in about two minutes, or  
press POWER to shut off.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE  
10.Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure  
and pulse rate on the chart (see page 16), indicating  
date and time of measurement.  
We advise that you record the date and time after each measure-  
ment because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on  
single or sporadic readings but on a pattern over time.  
NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure again, relax and  
wait 5–10 minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return  
to normal. There is no need to wait if someone else wishes to use  
the monitor.

CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY  
Exhaust velocity is the rate at which the air pressure in the cuff  
deflates during the course of measurement. It is preset at the  
factory and generally does not need any further adjustment.  
NOTE: The exhaust rate of your monitor was preset and tested at the  
factory to ensure proper measurement. The rate set is dependent on  
cuff size, not arm size. If using a cuff other than the one shipped with  
the unit, you may need to adjust the exhaust velocity rate.  
To check the exhaust velocity rate, proceed as follows:  
1. Put on the arm cuff.  
2. Press the POWER button.  
The unit will begin taking a reading.  
3. When zero appears, inflate the cuff by

squeezing the handheld inflator bulb.  
Pump it until it shows a pressure level  
40 mmHg higher than your usual

CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY  
4. Watch the display screen. As pressure automatically decreases,  
diastolic numbers should decline in increments of 2 to 5 mmHg.  
If the exhaust velocity range is not within 2 to 5 mmHg, make  
the following adjustment with the unit turned off:  
1. The adjustment screw is located on the exhaust valve  
attached to the inflator bulb. It is covered by a thin grey  
protection cap with a hole in the center. To remove and  
discard the cap (you do not need to replace it), insert the end  
of a paper clip and lift off to see the the gold adjustment  
screw underneath.  
2. Using a small screwdriver, rotate the adjustment  
screw about 45 degrees clockwise (to raise the rate)  
or counterclockwise (to lower the rate).  
NOTE: This adjustment is very sensitive.  
Turn screw very gradually.  
3. Repeat the test until the exhaust velocity  
is between 2 to 5 mmHg.  
NOTE: Once the monitor is adjusted to a new cuff size, further adjust-  
ments should not be required unless cuff size is changed again.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE  
What Is Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the  
walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart  
contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands.  
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury  
(mmHg).  
What Affects Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time  
of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season. Certain  
activities can significantly alter blood pressure. Walking can  
raise systolic pressure by 12 mmHg and diastolic pressure  
by 5.5 mmHg. Sleeping can decrease systolic blood pressure  
by as much as 10 mmHg. Taking your blood pressure  
repeatedly without waiting an interval of at least 3 minutes  
between readings can also affect it.  
In addition to these factors, beverages containing caffeine or  
alcohol, certain medications, emotional stress and even  
tight-fitting clothes can make a difference in the readings.  
What Causes Variations In Blood Pressure?  
An individual’s blood pressure varies greatly from day to day  
and season to season. In hypersensitive individuals, these  
variations are even more pronounced. Normally, blood pres-  
sure rises during work or play and falls to its lowest levels  
during sleep.

What Is Hypertension?  
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given  
when readings consistently rise above normal. It is well  
known that hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or  
other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer”  
because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you  
to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed  
early. Those who fall within the Prehypertensive range are  
more likely to develop hypertension in the future.  
Can Hypertension Be Controlled?  
In many individuals, hypertension can be controlled by  
altering lifestyle and minimizing stress, and by appropriate  
medication prescribed and monitored by your doctor. The  
American Heart Association recommends the following  
lifestyle suggestions to prevent or controlhypertension:
Don’t smoke.  
Have regular physical  
Reduce salt and fat intake.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE  
WhyMeasureBloodPressureatHome?  
It is now well known that, for many individuals, blood pres-  
sure readings taken in a doctor’s office or hospital setting  
might be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety.  
This response is commonly called “white coat hyperten-  
sion.” One way to determine whether this is the case for  
you is to take your home monitor to the doctor’s office and,  
before the doctor or nurse takes your pressure, do it your-  
self onyourhomemonitorandcompareittoyourrecord of  
home readings.  
In any case, self-measurement at home supplements your  
doctor’s readings and provides a more accurate, complete  
blood pressure history. In addition, clinical studies have  
shown that the detection and treatment of hypertension is  
improved when patients both consult their physicians and  
monitor their own blood pressure at home.  
Keys to Successful Monitoring:  
Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day. We recom-  
mend that you are consistent in your daily measurement  
routine:  
• Measure at the same time every day.  
• Sit in the same chair/position.  
• Relax for 5 minutes before measurement.  
• Sit still during measurement – no talking, eating or sud-  
den movements.  
• Record your measurement in a logbook.  
How Do I Record My Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure readings are typically recorded with the sys-  
tolic pressure written first, followed by a slash mark and the  
diastolic pressure. For example, 120 mmHg systolic and 80  
mmHg diastolic measurements are written as 120/80. Pulse  
is simply written with the letter “P” followed by the pulse  
rate—P 72, for example. Please see Page 16 for the blood  
pressure record.
