Preparation

Installing/Replacing the Batteries

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Insert four "AA" batteries as indicated in the battery compartment and then replace the battery cover.

Notes:

• If the low battery symbol appears on the display. turn the monitor off then replace all batteries at the same time.
• The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the batteries are replaced.
• The supplied batteries may have a shorter life.
• Dispose of the device. components and optional accessories according to applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.

Setting the Date and Time

1. Press the button.
2. Set the monitor to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time.

1) Push or buttons to change.

2) Push the button to confirm.Next setting appears.

3. Press the START/STOP button to store the setting.

• If the batteries have been replaced. the date and time setting will need to be reset.
• If the date and time are not set. “-:--” appears during or after measurement.

Using the Unit

Applying the Arm Cuff

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

1. Insert the air plug into the air jack securely.

2. Put your arm through the cuff loop.

The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 1 to 2.cm above the elbow. Marker (arrow under the air tube) is centred on the middle of your inner arm.

3. Close the fabric fastener FIRMLY.

Notes:

• When you take a measurement on 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 use the same arm for measurement. If the values between both 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. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising or eating 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Also avoid taking measurements during stressful time. Stress raises blood pressure.

​​​​​​​

• Sit on a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• Sit with your back and arm being supported.
• The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at the same level as your heart.

​​​​​​​Taking a Reading

Notes:

• To cancel a measurement. press the START/STOP button to release the air in the arm cuff.
• Remain still while taking a measurement.

1. Press the START/STOP button. The arm cuff will start to inflate automatically.

If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg

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.

Notes:

• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.

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.

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

Cuff Wrapping Guide Lamp:​​​​​​​

The cuff wrapping guide lamp lights in green, the cuff is correctly wrapped tightly enough on the arm and the reading is accurate and reliable. If it does not light, the reading is not reliable due to the incorrect wrapping of the cuff. Please wrap the cuff again, taking care to wrap it correctly and take the measurement again.

2. Remove the arm cuff.

3. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off. The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory. It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.

Important:

• Recent research suggests that the following values can be used as a guide to high blood pressure for measurements taken at home.

This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.

• 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 symbol . If the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid. no result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat symbol you have taken a measurement. repeat the measurement. If the irregular heartbeat symbol is shown frequently. please make your doctor aware of it.

• If you move during measurement. the movement error symbol will appear on the display. Keep still and repeat the measurement.

Using the Guest Mode

The monitor stores measurement values for one user in the memory. The guest mode can be used to take a single measurement for another user. No measurement values are stored in the memory when the guest mode is selected.

1. Press and hold the START/STOP button for more than 3 seconds. The date/time display will disappear

2. Release the START/STOP button when the date/time display turns off. The arm cuff will start to inflate automatically.

Using the Memory Function

The monitor automatically stores the result up to 60 sets. It can also calculate an average reading based on the measurements from the last three readings taken within 10 minutes. If there are only two readings in memory for that period. the average will be based on two readings. If there is one reading in memory for that period. the average will be based on one reading.

Notes:

• If the memory is full. the monitor will delete the oldest reading.
• When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time. “.:--" is displayed instead of the date and time.

To View the Readings Stored in Memory

1. Press the button.
The Memory number appears for a second before the pulse rate is displayed. The newest set is numbered “1”.

Note: The cuff wrapping guide result appears on the display with the measurement values. The cuff wrapping guide lamp will not light.

The arm cuff was correctly wrapped tightly enough.

The arm cuff was loose or not wrapped correctly.

2. Press the or button to view the readings stored in memory.

: To the older readings

: To the more recent readings

To View the Average Value

1. Press and hold the button for more than 3 seconds.

Notes:

1. If the previous reading was taken without setting the date and time. the average value is not calculated.
2. If there are no measurements results stored in the memory. the screen to the right is displayed.

To Delete All the Values Stored in Memory

When the memory symbol () appears. first press the Memory button. Then while holding it down. press the START/STOP. button simultaneously for more than 3 seconds.

Note: You cannot partially delete the stored readings.
