Important Safety Information

Consult your doctor before using in pregnancy or if diagnosed with arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis.
Please read this section carefully before using the unit.

Warning

• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
  (General Usage)

• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are dangerous.

• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.
  (Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately.

Caution

• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or damage to the equipment or other property.
  (General Usage)

• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express their consent.

• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.

• Do not disassemble the unit or arm cuff.

• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect measurement results.

• Make sure that the air tube is not wrapped around other parts of your body when taking measurements at night. This could result in injury when the air pressure in the air tube is increased.

• Do not leave the cuff wrapped on the arm if taking measurements during the night. This could result in injury.

• Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg.

• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields, near the unit. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit.

• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane). (Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water.

• Use only two “AAA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this unit. Do not use other types of batteries.

• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace both batteries at the same time.

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

• Do not use new and used batteries together.

General Precautions

• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit and arm cuff.
• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, or eating.
• Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or bend the air tube excessively.
• When removing the air tube, pull the air tube while holding it near the air jack.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
• Do not wash the arm cuff or immerse it in water.
• Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)” in the Technical Data Section.
• Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in the Technical Data Section when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional parts.

Preparation

Installing/Replacing the Batteries

1. Remove the battery cover

2. Insert two “AAA” batteries as indicated in the battery compartment and then replace the battery cover.
   Notes:
   

   • If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn the unit off then replace both batteries at the same time.
   • The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the batteries are replaced.
   • Disposal of used batteries should be carried out per the national regulations for the disposal of batteries.

Using the Unit

Applying the Arm Cuff

• Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled-up sleeves from your upper arm.
• Do not place the cuff over thick clothes.

1. 1. Insert theair tubes into theairjacks.
2. Put your arm through the cuff loop.
3. Position the arm correctly.
4. The bottom edge of the cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow. The marker (arrow under tube) is centered on the middle of your inner arm. Close the fabric fastener FIRMLY.

Notes:

• When you measure the right arm, the air tube will be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
• 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 using the same arm for measurement. If the values between the two arms differ substantially, please check with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.

How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated, under comfortable room temperature. No eating, smoking, or exercising 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• The cuff should be at the same level as your heart.

Taking a Reading

Note: Remain still while taking measurements.

1. Press the air release button to release any air in the arm cuff, then press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on.
   Note:
   If the deflation symbol does not disappear soon, press the air release button to release any air in the arm cuff.

Pump the inflation bulb to inflate the arm cuff.

1. Inflate the cuff until it is 30 to 40 mmHg above your expected systolic blood pressure value. ex) If your expected blood pressure is around 140 mmHg, inflate the arm cuff to between 170 and 180 mmHg. Inflate the cuff rapidly so that the pressure is reached in about five seconds.
2. When the desired pressure has been achieved, release the inflation bulb.

Notes:

• If the reinflation symbol ( ) appears, squeeze the inflation bulb to re-inflate the arm cuff.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff more than necessary.

Measurement starts.
Measurement starts automatically after you stop inflating the arm cuff.

Notes

• To cancel a measurement, press the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit and press the air release button to release the air in the arm cuff.
• Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition before taking the blood pressure measurement.

Warning: Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment is dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor.

• Remove the arm cuff.
• Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the monitor.
  The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory.
  It will automatically turn off after five minutes.

Important: 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 Pressure:  Above 135 mmHg
• Diastolic Blood Pressure: Above 85 mmHg

This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.

Using the Memory Function
The monitor automatically stores the results of up to 21 sets.

Note : If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.Previous Reading.

To delete all the values stored in memory
When the memory symbol ( ) appears, first press the M button. Then while holding it down, press the ON/OFF button simultaneously for about 2-3 seconds.

Note: You cannot partially delete the stored readings.
