Correct
Posture
Remove tight fitting clothing from
your upper arm, and any thick
clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick
clothes and do not roll up your sleeve
if it is too tight.
Sit upright
with your
back straight.
Place your arm on a table so
that the cuff will be at the same
level as your heart.
The gap between the
chair and the top of the
table should be between
25cm to 30cm.
5.Apply the cuff to your upper arm so that the blue strip is centred
on the middle of your inner arm and points down the inside of
the arm. The air tube should run down the inside of your
forearm and be in line with your middle finger.
The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1 to 2 cm
above the elbow.
• Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm.
• The cuff should make good contact with your skin. You should
be able to fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm
easily, so you can pull the cuff off and on.
• Make sure that there are no kinks in the air tubing.
Taking Measurements on the Right Arm
Please note the following points when
applying the cuff to your right arm. Apply the
cuff so that the air tube is at the side of your
elbow.
Notes:
• Be careful not to rest your arm on the air
tube, or otherwise restrict the flow of air to
the cuff.
• Apply the arm cuff so that no part of the
cuff is positioned over the elbow joint. The
cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.
• If used 2 times per day, the cuff will last for 3 years.
• 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 the two arms differ substantially,
please check with your physician which arm to use for your
measurement.
The unit is designed to take measurements and store the
measurement values in the memory for two people using user ID A and
user ID B.
The unit can also be used to take a single measurement for other
persons using the guest mode. The user ID symbol is not displayed
when using the guest mode. Measurements taken using the guest
mode are not stored in the memory.
Using the Guest Mode

off.
3.Inflation stops and the measurement is started. When the
measurement is completed, your blood pressure and pulse rate
appear on the display.
Select your user ID. Always use the same user ID when taking a
measurement. The unit stores the measurement values in the memory
by the user ID selected. These measurement values are used to
calculate the morning averages and evening averages.
Slide the user ID selection switch up or down to select user A or B.
Using the User ID
When you select a user ID the unit can be set to take one
measurement using the single mode or three consecutive
measurements using the auto mode when you press the O/I START
button.
Note: The default value is set to the single mode to take one
measurement.
The auto mode takes three consecutive measurements. The unit will
inflate the cuff and take three measurements separated by a short
interval of time between each measurement.
All symbols appear on the display. The user ID symbol you
selected flashes on the display.
The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the
unit automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This unit
detects the pulse during inflation. Do not move your arm and
remain still until the entire measurement process is completed.
Note: To stop the inflation or measurement, press and release
the O/I START button. The unit will stop inflating, start
deflating and will turn off.
3.Inflation stops automatically and the measurement is started.
As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers appear on the

automatically turn off after
five minutes.
Notes:
• Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are
dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
• 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.
All symbols appear on the display. The user ID Symbol you
selected flashes on the display. The cuff starts to inflate

deflates.
Note: Do not move your arm and remain still until the entire
measurement process is completed.
4.Check the progress of the consecutive measurements.
The first measurement is complete, waiting to start the next
measurement. The interval of time set between each
measurement will appear on the display.
The second measurement is complete, waiting to start the next
measurement.
The third measurement starts automatically.
The consecutive measurements are complete. The average for
the three measurements appears on the display.
The three individual measurement results are not displayed
while Auto Mode is taking the measurements. However, the
results for each individual measurement can be displayed after
all the measurements have been completed.
Note: During the Auto Mode the unit will repeat the
measurement in case of an error. After 3 errors the unit
will stop taking further measurements. If only two
measurements are successful the average of these two
measurements will be displayed. If only one
measurement is successful, this result will be displayed.
5.Press the SET button to display the blood pressure and pulse
rate for the first measurement. Press the SET button again to
display the next measurement.
6.Press the O/I START button to turn the unit off.
• 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 PressureAbove 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood PressureAbove 85 mmHg
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria, please
refer to Chapter 9.
• 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 icon. 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
icon is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.
An irregular heartbeat is a heartbeat
rhythm that varies by more than 25%
from the average heartbeat rhythm
detected while the unit is measuring
the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm is
detected more than twice during
measurement, the irregular
heartbeat symbol ( ) appears on
the symbol when the measurement
results are displayed.
What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart to
contract.
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due
to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical
symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature contraction, an
abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can
be caused by heart disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress,
lack of sleep, fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a
doctor through a special examination.
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol () in
the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be determined by an
examination and diagnosis by your doctor.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please
make your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis and
treatment based on measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to
follow the instructions of your doctor.
