Preparation

Installing Batteries

1. Push down the hook of the battery cover and pull downward.

2. Insert 4 “AA” batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.

3. Close the battery cover.

As soon as batteries are correctly installed, the year flashes on the display.

Refer to sub-section 2.2 to set the date and time manually, or refer to sub-section 4.1 to pair your monitor to set the date and time automatically.

Note:

• When the “ ” symbol flashes on the display, it is recommended you replace batteries.
• To replace batteries, turn your monitor off and remove all batteries.
• Then replace with 4 new batteries at the same time.
• Replacing batteries will not delete previous readings.
• The supplied batteries may have a shorter life span than new batteries.
• Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with local regulations.

Setting the Date and Time

Note:

• Set your monitor to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time.
• The date and time will automatically be set when the monitor is paired with “OMRON connect US/CAN” app. Refer to sub-section 4.1
• As soon as batteries are correctly installed, the year flashes on the display of your monitor.

1. If nothing is displayed, press button (rear surface of the monitor) to display the year.

If the year is already displayed, skip this step.

2. Press the or button to adjust the year.

Press and hold the button to quickly advance the years.

Press and hold the button to quickly go backwards through the years.

3. Press the button to confirm the year, then the month will flash. Repeat the same steps to adjust the month, day, hour, and minute.

4. Press the button to store the setting.

Your monitor automatically turns off 3 seconds after the minutes have been set in this sequence.

Note:

• If you need to reset the date and time, replace batteries or press the button, then set the date and time as shown in above steps.
• If the date and time are not set, “ ” flashes during or after measurement.

Blood Pressure Measurement Tips

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at the same times each day. Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
• Remember to have 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.

Caution:

• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.

Applying the Arm Cuff

Note:

• The following steps are for applying the arm cuff to your left arm. When you take a measurement on your right arm, follow the cuff wrap instructions for a right arm use mentioned under “To take a measurement on your right arm” located at the end of this sub- section.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured blood pressure readings can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the readings between both arms differ substantially, check with your physician to determine as to which arm to use for your measurements.

Caution: Remove tight-fitting, thick clothing from your arm while taking a measurement.

1. Plug the arm cuff into your monitor by inserting the air plug into the air jack securely until it clicks.

2. Apply the arm cuff to your left upper arm.

Note: The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 0.5 inch (1 to 2 cm) above the inside elbow. The air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.

3. Make sure that the air tube is positioned on the inside of your arm and wrap the cuff securely, so it can not move around your arm.

To take a measurement on your right arm

When you take a measurement on your right arm, the air tube should run along the side of your elbow, along the bottom of your arm. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.

Sitting Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated in a room at a comfortable temperature. Place your arm on the table.

• Sit in a comfortable chair with your back and arm supported.
• Keep your feet flat and your legs uncrossed.
• The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at the same level as your heart, with the arm resting comfortably on a table.

Selecting a User ID

Your monitor is designed to take measurements and store the readings in the memory for 2 people using the [user ID selection] switch.

1. Select your user ID (1 or 2).

Using Your Monitor without a Smart Device

Taking a Measurement

You can use your monitor without pairing to a smart device. To pair your monitor with a smart device, refer to sub-section 4.1.

Note: To stop the measurement, press the [START/STOP] button once to deflate the arm cuff.

Caution:

• DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME) equipment simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
• Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.

1. Press the [START/STOP] button.

All symbols appear on the display before starting the measurement.

2. Remain still and do not talk until the entire measurement process is complete.

The “ ” symbol flashes at every heartbeat.

After your monitor has detected your blood pressure and pulse rate, the cuff automatically deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed with the previous reading.

If either the systolic or the diastolic reading is high (refer to sub-section 1.3), the “ ” symbol appears.

3. Press the [START/STOP] button to turn your monitor off.

Note:

• Your monitor automatically turns off after 3 minutes.
• Wait 2 - 3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to decompress and return to their pre- measurement state. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

Using the Guest Mode

Your monitor stores readings for 2 users in the memory. The guest mode can be used to take a single measurement for another user.

Note: No readings are stored in the memory.

1. Press and hold the [START/STOP] button for more than 3 seconds.

The user ID symbol and the date/time display will disappear.

2. Release the [START/STOP] button when the user ID and date/time display turn off.

The arm cuff automatically starts to inflate.

►If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg

If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg, take a measurement manually. After the arm cuff starts to inflate, press and hold the [START/STOP] button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure.

Note: Do not inflate above 299 mmHg.

Caution: Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the arm cuff is applied.
