Staple your purchase receipt here.

This completely automatic instrument quickly measures your blood
pressure and pulse rate. The measurement reading is clearly displayed
on a large digital panel.

Your new digital blood pressure monitor 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.

KNOW YOUR UNIT

To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should
always be followed including the precautions listed below:

þ Read all information in the instruction book and any other literature

included in the box before using the unit.

þ Contact your physician for specific information about your blood

pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.

þ Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose.

þ The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse

rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants.

þ Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in

operational failure.

þ Changes or modifications not approved by Omron Healthcare will

void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
unit or components.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE TAKING

A MEASUREMENT

1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before

taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before
taking the measurement.

2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements

during stressful times.

3. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.

4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.

5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm

on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.

7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your

physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood
pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

8. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the

arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on
your individual physical characteristics.

HOW TO INSTALL THE BATTERIES

1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction

of the arrow.

2. Install 4 “AA” size batteries so the

+ (positive) and – (negative) polarities
match the polarities of the battery
compartment as indicated.

3. Replace the battery cover.

NOTES: 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.

If the batteries are removed for a long period
of time, Date / Time display setting will need
to be reset. Refer to “How to Set the
Date and the Time”.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF

ON YOUR LEFT ARM

1. Make sure the air plug is

securely inserted in the main unit.

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

at the same level as your heart.

4. Hold the cloth velcro on the cuff

with your other hand.

5. Turn the palm of your hand

upward. Apply the cuff on your
upper arm.

Air Plug

Velcro

6. Align the Green Marker on the

cuff over the brachial artery on
the inside of the arm.

The cuff tube should run down
the center of the arm even with
the middle finger.

The bottom of the cuff should be
approximately 1/2'' - 1'' above
your elbow.

7. Secure the cuff around your arm

using the cloth velcro.

8. Make sure the cuff is wrapped

firmly in place.

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT

ST AR T

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT

1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately

one second.

b) When the monitor becomes ready to measure,

the Heart Symbol ( ) appears on the display.

2. Press the START button and remain still.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically determines

your ideal inflation level. Because this monitor detects the pulse
even during inflation, do not move your arm and remain still until
the entire measurement completes.

NOTE:

If you want to stop the inflation or measurement, press the
ON/OFF button. The monitor will stop inflating and start
deflating rapidly, and the monitor will turn off.

3. Inflation stops automatically and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates,

decreasing numbers appear on the
display and the Heart Symbol ( )
flashes at every heartbeat.

In rare circumstances, a higher
inflation may be necessary.
In those cases, the monitor reinflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg
higher than initial inflation and restarts the measurement.

Inflation Deflation

4. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff
completely deflates and your blood pressure and
pulse rate are displayed.

NOTE:

The monitor automatically stores blood
pressure and pulse rate into the memory.

5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor off.

NOTE:

If you forget to turn the monitor off, it will automatically
shut itself off after five minutes.

Instructions for special conditions:

• If your systolic pressure is known to be more than
220 mmHg, press and hold the START button until
the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than
your suspected systolic pressure.

NOTE:

Do not ap pl y mo re pressure than necessary.
The monitor will not inflate above 280 mmHg.

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.
