Thank you for purchasing the OMRON®BP710N Blood Pressure Monitor.
Your new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood
pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood movement
through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.
An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple
to use.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure
and pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of
irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the
measurement result.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the device. 
Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

When the monitor detects an irregular
rhythm two or more times during the
measurement, the irregular heartbeat
symbol will appear on the display with the
measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined
as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more
than the average rhythm detected while
the monitor is measuring the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we
recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician.
Movement Error Symbol ( )
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the
measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 - 3 minutes. 
Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.

Before Taking a Measurement
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for
30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before
taking the measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful
times.
3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so that
the arm cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep 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. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for
consistency.
