• The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after

the batteries are replaced.

• The supplied batteries may have a shorter life.

Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the
national regulations for the disposal of batteries.

3. Using the Unit

3.1 Applying the Arm Cuff

Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your
upper arm. Do not place the arm cuff over thick clothes.

1. Insert the air plug into the air jack

securely.

Put your arm through the cuff

3.

FIRMLY.

Notes:

• When you take a measurement on the right

arm, the air tube will be at the side of your
elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on
the air tube.

• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm,

and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be
different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for
measurement. If the values between both arms differ substantially,
please check with your doctor which arm to use for your
measurement.

3.2 How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be

relaxed and comfortably seated, under

comfortable room temperature. No
bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine,

smoking, exercising or eating 30 minutes

before taking a measurement.

• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

• Sit upright with your back straight.

• The arm cuff should be at the same level as

your heart.

3.3 Taking a Reading

Notes:

• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button to release

the air in the arm cuff.

• Remain still while taking a measurement.

Press the START/STOP button.

1.

The arm cuff will start to inflate automatically.

START

INFLATE DEFLATE

If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg

After the arm cuff starts to inflate, press and hold the START/STOP

button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your
expected systolic pressure.

Notes:

• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.

• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.

Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure

measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to

return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement.

Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement
results and self-treatment are dangerous.

Remove the arm cuff.

2.

Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off.

3.

The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory.
It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.

COMPLETE

Important:

• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside

the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will
blink when the measurement result is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the following
values can be used as a guide to high blood
pressure for measurements taken at home.

Systolic Blood Pressure Above 135 mmHg

Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg

This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.

• Your blood pressure monitor includes an

irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats
can influence the results of the measurement.
The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically
determines if the measurement is usable or
needs to be repeated. If the measurement
results are affected by irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the
result is shown together with the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ). If
the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid, no
result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown after
you have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the
irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please make
your doctor aware of it.

• If you move during measurement, the movement

error symbol ( ) will appear on the display.
Keep still and repeat the measurement.

3.4 Using the Memory Function

The monitor automatically stores the last measurement values (blood
pressure and pulse rate).

To View the Readings Stored in Memory

Press and hold the START/STOP button for more than

1.

5 seconds.

The last measurement value is displayed along with the memory
symbol.

Notes:

• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the

standard range, the heartbeat symbol will blink
when the measurement result is displayed.

• If there are no measurements results stored in

the memory, the screen to the right is displayed.

Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off.

2.

It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.

To Delete the Values Stored in Memory

Press and hold the START/STOP button for more than

15 seconds.
