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.

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.
