Introduction  
Important Instructions Before Use  
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor  
EW3037.  
1. Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure  
measurements should only be interpreted by a health professional who  
is familiar with your medical history.  
Measuring your own blood pressure is an important way of monitoring your  
health. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major health problem which  
can be treated effectively once detected. Measuring your blood pressure  
between doctor visits on a regular basis in the comfort of your home, and  
keeping a record of the measurements, will help you monitor any significant  
changes in your blood pressure. Keeping an accurate record of your blood  
pressure will help your doctor diagnose and possibly prevent any health  
problems in the future.  
2. If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the  
most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change  
a prescribed medication without first consulting with your physician.  
3. For persons with irregular or unstable circulation resulting from diabetes,  
liver disease, arteriosclerosis or other medical conditions, there may be  
variations in blood pressure values measured at the wrist versus at the  
upper arm. Monitoring the trends in your blood pressure taken at either  
the arm or the wrist is nevertheless useful and important.  
4. Blood pressure can vary based on many factors, including age, gender,  
weight and physical condition. In general, a person’s blood pressure is  
lower during sleep and higher when he or she is active. Blood pressure  
can change easily in response to physiological changes. The setting in  
which a person’s blood pressure is measured can also affect the results.  
Having one’s blood pressure measured by a healthcare professional in a  
hospital or clinic can cause nervousness and may result in a temporarily  
elevated reading. Because blood pressure measurements taken in a  
clinical setting can vary considerably from those taken at home, a  
person’s blood pressure should be measured not only occasionally in the  
doctor’s office, but also on a regular basis at home. Also, if you find that  
your blood pressure is lower at home, this is not unusual. To accurately  
compare with your physician’s reading, take your Panasonic blood pressure  
monitor to your doctor’s office and compare readings in this setting.  
Basics of Blood Pressure  
Your 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 measured. If your blood  
pressure measurement is 120 over 80 (120/80), for example, your systolic  
pressure is 120 while your diastolic pressure is 80.  
5. People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, liver  
disorders or diabetes, people with cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse,  
and women who are pregnant should consult their physician before  
measuring their blood pressure themselves. Different values may be  
obtained due to their condition.  
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  
3
4
 
about 5 minutes before taking the measurement.  
Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation  
• The following situations may cause substantial variations in blood  
pressure readings and should therefore be avoided at least 30 minutes  
prior to taking your blood pressure.  
1. Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks.  
2. Do not insert foreign objects into any openings.  
3. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.  
Blood pressure will be higher than usual:

IMPORTANT:  
Measuring Your Blood Pressure  
• Measure your blood pressure at the same time and under the same  
conditions every day if possible. The ideal time to measure your blood  
pressure is in the morning immediately after waking up, while you are still  
relatively calm. If this is not possible, try to take your blood pressure prior  
to breakfast, before you become active.  
• Relax and take measurements in a comfortable position.  
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.  
• Keep still and do not speak during measurement. Blood pressure can  
fluctuate with the slightest change, such as tensing your muscles or  
changing your posture.

• The air in the pressure cuff is released automatically.  
• The blood pressure sign LEDs light up (for approx. 6  
seconds) indicating your blood pressure level.  
• Displayed readings will flash (for approx. 6 seconds)  
when in the high blood pressure range.  
(See page 17 for information on how to read the blood  
pressure sign LEDs.)  
• The  
mark will flash on the screen to indicate that  
readings may be recorded.  
(See page 18 for information on how to record blood  
pressure readings.)  
• The displayed pulse rate indicates the number of  
heartbeats per minute as calculated from the number  
of heartbeats recorded during the measurement.

Alarm function signals high blood pressure  
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.  
Blood pressure values for both systolic and diastolic readings are  
determined and indicated via a three-color LED system as being within  
normal or hypertensive ranges based on definitions and classification of  
blood pressure levels by the JNC 7. Moreover, when blood pressure is in the  
high range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user.  
According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg  
(Sys.) and/or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure.

pressure value is low.  
• You moved your hand or body or you spoke  
during measurement. (See page 12.)  
Measuring range:  
Blood pressure: 0 - 280 mmHg  
Pulse rate: 30 - 160 pulse/min.  
The measured values  
differ significantly.  
• Your posture was not the same for all  
measurements, or measurements were  
taken without sufficient time in between.  
Always wait approximately 5 minutes before  
taking another reading, and above all, relax.  
Measurement accuracy:  
Pressure: 3 mmHg  
Pulse rate: 5%  
Power source:  
Two 1.5-volt alkaline (AAA/LR03) batteries  
Operating environment:  
10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F)  
30% to 85% RH  
The measured value  
differs from that  
measured by the doctor.  
The measured value is

• Blood pressure varies in response to  
minute changes in your mental state, such  
as your reaction to your doctor taking the  
measurement. One way to check this is to  
bring the unit to your doctor’s office and  
directly compare the readings taken by  
your physician.

Wrist circumference  
measurement range:  
12.5 to 22.0 cm (5" to 8-3/4")  
• Relax for at least 5 minutes and then take  
another measurement.  
Dimensions (H#W#D): 54.0#83.0#26.0 mm  
(2-1/8"#2-1/4"#1-1/32")  
Varying sounds and  
pressurization speeds  
occur during inflation of  
the cuff.  
• Changes in operating sounds and  
pressurization speeds are normal and occur  
due to the fact that measurements are  
being made as the cuff is being inflated.  
Weight:  
90 g (3.2 oz.) not including batteries  
Specifications are subject to change without notice.  
The measured value  
obtained is different  
from that measured at  
the upper arm.  
• For persons with certain circulation problems,  
there may be substantial differences in  
blood pressure values measured at the  
upper arm versus at the wrist.
