On the top right side of the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor you can find a light green button with text "ON/OFF" below it. Press on the button the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor will be turned on and start a "self-test-correction-calibration" procedure. When a figure "0" is displayed on the LCD screen, the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor is ready for making measurement.
Why the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor displays incorrect date and time after turned on?
The OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor relies on battery power to function. When the batteries are removed for the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor, the settings of date and time will be lost.
Every time when you put batteries in the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor (for the first time or for changing the batteries), the LCD screen of the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor will display the setting values of date and time, which is not the current date and time.
You must manually update the settings to the correct date and time. After that, the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor will display the correct date and time every time you turn it on.

No. Your measurement data are stored in the memory, which will not be disappeared/erased when the batteries are removed from the OSTAR blood pressure monitor.
You will be able to retrieve your stored measurement data once you put the batteries in the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor again.
How can I change the setting of the OSTAR HK-809 blood pressure monitor?
After switching on the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor, press and hold the setting button below the LCD screen (the middle button shown on the graphic below) until the text "YEAr" with a flashing number of the year is shown on the LCD display. You have entered the setting mode.
You can then adjust the value of year, month, day, hour and minute in sequence.
What is the warning range of systolic/diastolic blood pressure and pulse? Can I change the settings?
The warning value of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse is a special reminder function of the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor. The range, upper and lower limits, of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse can be set separately.
When you complete the measurement with the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor, the measured readings will be displayed on the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor. If your measured systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure or pulse value exceeds the set upper or lower limit, the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor will display the value exceeding the upper limit or lower limit in flashing to remind you.
The upper and lower limits of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse are preset by the manufacturer, and we do not recommend modifying them. If you want to change the set value, it is recommended to consult your doctor first.

For example speaking during the measurement might increase your systolic blood pressure upto 17 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure upto 13 mmHg according to a study report.
It is recommended that you sit comfortably in a chair, better with the back support, and your feet should be flat on the floor.
Wear the cuff in your left (or right) upper arm, and keep the cuff at the same heigh level of your heart. Breat normally and lightly. Do not make any sudden movment while making a measurement.

And then the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor starts simultaneously the analysis of your measurement data using the heart specktrum technology. As soon as the analysis is completed, the numbers of the heart spectrum indexes I1, I2 and I3 will be displayed on the LCD screen.
Afterward the displays of the readings of your systolic/diastolic/pulse and the numbers of your heart spectrum index I1/I2/I3 will be recurring one after the other on the LCD Screen in an interval of around 2 seconds.
How many measurement data can I stored in the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor? How can I know if the memory capacity is used up?
The memory capacity of the OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor is 30 sets of measurement data. However, there is no indication of how many measurement data has been stored in the memory.
After 30 measurement data have been stored in the memory, each time a new measurement is completed, the oldest stored measurement data is automatically deleted and the regained memory is used to save the new measurement data.
The OSTAR heart spectrum blood pressure monitor will always keep your lastest 30 measurement data in the memory.
