Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-712C Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure
Monitor. This completely automatic instrument quickly measures your blood pressure
and pulse rate and displays them on an extra large digital panel.
Your new HEM-712C uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement.
This means the monitor detects your blood's movement through your brachial artery
and converts the movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not
need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use. The cuff fills with air at the push of
a button and automatically deflates when the measurement is complete. Error indicators
alert you to incorrect procedures and an automatic power-off function conserves the batteries:
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the
Omron HEM-712C Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor.
For specific information on your own blood pressure,
CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
KNOW YOUR UNIT
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
1. Eating, smoking, and exercising within 30 minutes before taking
a measurement may affect your blood pressure. To take a baseline
blood pressure, rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes before taking a reading.
2. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
3. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your
arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
4. Put your arm through the cuff loop making sure that the bottom edge
of the cuff is approximately 1/2'' above the elbow and that the
Green Marker on the cuff is above brachial artery.
5. Pull the end of the cuff so that the entire cuff is evenly tightened
around your arm and press the hook material firmly against the pile
side of the cuff.
6. Press the ON/OFF button.
7. After the Heart Symbol ( ) appears on the digital panel, press
the Start button, and remain still until the measurement is complete.
8. When measurement is complete, the monitor displays your blood
pressure and pulse rate, and automatically deflates the cuff.
9. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement.
You may require more rest time between readings depending
on your individual physiological characteristics.

1. Slide the battery cover off in
the direction of the arrow.
2. Install or replace four "AA" size batteies
so + (positive) and - (negative) polarities
match the polarities of the battery
compartment as indicated.
3. Replace the battery cover
Note:
• If the Low Battery Indicator appears on the display,
replace all four batteries. Long-life alkaline batteries
are recommended.
• Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used
for an extended period of time.

3. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and
place your arm on a table so that the cuff is at
the same level as your heart.
4. Put your arm through the cuff loop. The bottom
of the cuff should be approximately 1/2'' above the
elbow. The Green Marker on the cuff should lie
over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.
Tube should run down center of arm approximately
even with the middle finger.
5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges
are tightened evenly round your arm.
6. When he cuff is positioned correctly, press the
sewn hook material FIRMLY against the pile
side of the cuff.
7. Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm.
The cuff should make good contact with your skin.
You should be able to fit one finger between the
cuff and your arm.
8. Relax your arm and turn your palm upward.
9. Be sure there are no kinks in the air tubing.
HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the hook material
will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal
D-ring will not touch your skin.
2. If the cuff is not assembled, pass the end of the
cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal
D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should
be on the inside of the cuff loop.

HOW TO TAKE A READING
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately
one second. This is the initial display test.
b) When the monitor completes the necessary
preparations before measurement, the Heart
symbol ( ) appears in the upper right
hand corner of screen.
2. By pressing the START button the unit
automatically inflates the cuff to 170 mmHg.
a) If during your measurement the monitor
determines that a higher pressure value is
required, it will momentarily stop deflation
and automatically increase the pressure
value by 40 mmHg.
b) To set inflation level manually higher than
170 mmHg, press and hold the START
button until the desired pressure value
is reached. Do not inflate higher than
280 mmHg.
3. When the correct pressure value is reached,
the cuff starts to deflate automatically. As the
cuff deflates, decreasing numbers appear on
the display. The Heart symbol ( ) flashes
at every heartbeat.
4. When the measurement is complete, the
Heart symbol( ) stops flashing and your
blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed
alternately. Results will be displayed until you
turn the unit off. The unit will automatically
shut off in approximately 5 minutes.

HOW TO USE THE AC ADAPTER
1. When using AC power, use only the exclusive Omron AC adapter (HEM-ADPT1). To
order an Omron AC adapter contact Omron Healthcare, Inc. at 1-800-634-4350. Tell the
phone representative you want to order model number HEM-ADPT1.
2. Insert the AC adapter cord into the jack on the back side of the monitor.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug into
a 120V AC outlet (50-60 cycles).
4. To remove the AC adapter,
disconnect the adapter plug
from the AC outlet first and
then disconnect the cord from the
monitor's jack. To avoid possible
damage to the monitor, use only
the exclusive AC adapter (HEM-ADPT1).
Other adapters may vary in output voltage and polarities.
Note: The monitor is designed not to draw power from the batteries
when the AC adapter is in use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To protect your monitor from damage, please observe the following:
Failure to follow these directions will void warranty.
Do not subject your monitor to extreme temperatures, humidity,
or direct sunlight.
Do not fold the cuff and tubing tightly.
Do not inflate the monitor over 280 mmHg.
Do not disassemble the monitor.
Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping it on the floor.
Do not clean the monitor with volatile liquids.
