Thank you for purchasing the IA2 Omron Automatic Blood Pressure
Monitor with IntelliSenseTM. Although your blood pressure fluctuates
throughout the day, no self adjustment is necessary as the monitor
intelligently adjusts to your changing conditions. The IntelliSense
monitor uses fuzzy logic intelligence to sense both your systolic and
diastolic blood pressure values, and the result is personalized inflation
for every reading. This virtually eliminates discomfort or incorrect
readings due to improper cuff inflation.

The IA2 also stores up to 90 sets of measurements in memory and
displays an average reading based on the three most recent
measurements..

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit. For
specific information about your own blood pressure, consult your doctor.

To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, exercising for
at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. You should also try to
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day.

1. Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.

2. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on

a table so that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your heart.

3. Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm.

• Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm. The coloured marker should
be centered on the inner side of your arm and pointing towards
your palm, so that the air tube runs along your forearm and is in
line with the middle finger.

4. Secure the cuff around your arm using the velcro strip.
