Connect the cuff: Plug the tube connector into the “Cuff Port” on the side of the monitor.
Position the cuff:
Slide your arm through the cuff, ensuring it is positioned 2–3 cm (1 inch) above your elbow.
The marker on the cuff should be aligned with the center of your arm.
The cuff’s tubing should be coming out of the bottom of the cuff and not the top, once on your arm.
Tighten the cuff: Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm, leaving enough space to slide one finger between your arm and the cuff.
Relax before measuring: Sit in a comfortable position with your arm resting at heart level and your palm facing upward. Remain still and quiet for a few minutes before starting the measurement.

Automatic data transmission: After the measurement, the monitor will automatically transmit your results via cellular communication to cloud storage. A blinking transmission icon indicates that the data is being sent.
Successful transmission: Once the data is successfully sent, the transmission icon will disappear, and the monitor will turn off automatically.
Transmission failure: If transmission fails, an error message (e.g., E6) will appear. The monitor will attempt to resend the data during the next successful connection.
Handling Cellular Signal Failure (E6 Error)
If your SmartMeter iBlood Pressure Classic encounters an E6 error, it means the device was unable to transmit your data due to a cellular signal issue. Follow these steps to resolve the problem:
Check Signal Strength:
Move to an area with better cellular reception. Make sure you're away from obstacles like large buildings or underground locations that may block the signal. Being near a window usually helps cellular reception. Trailer homes and other metallic building materials may not allow the device to connect to a cellular tower.
Wait and Retry:
The monitor automatically attempts to resend your data during the next successful cellular connection. Wait a few minutes and try taking another measurement.
Ensure Proper Device Setup:
Confirm the monitor is functioning correctly with no other visible issues (like low battery). Check that all cables and accessories are securely connected.
Power Cycle the Device:
Press the Start/Stop button to turn the monitor off and then back on. Then, retry the measurement and data transmission.
Your blood pressure data will be stored on the device and automatically transmitted once the cellular connection is restored, ensuring no data is lost. Up to 60 measurements can be stored on the device.
