INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON®BP742 IntelliSense®Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor.
Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood
pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s 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.
The BP742 comes with the following components:
•Monitor•StandardAdultArmCuff•4“AA”AlkalineBatteries
•InstructionManualprintedinEnglishandSpanish•QuickStartGuide
The BP742 IntelliSense®Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.
Pleasekeepforfuturereference.Forspecicinformationaboutyourownblood
pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
Fill in for future reference.

SAFETY SYMBOLS USED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
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.
OPERATING THE DEVICE
Contactyourphysicianforspecicinformationaboutyourbloodpressure.
Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the
instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.
Do not adjust medication based on measurement result from this blood pressure
monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. Only a physician is
qualiedtodiagnoseandtreatHighBloodPressure.
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
Ifbatteryuidshouldgetinyoureyes,immediatelyrinsewithplentyofclean
water. Contact a physician immediately.
Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the
box before operating the unit.
This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the
adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express
their intentions.
Read the Special Conditions section of the instruction manual if your systolic
pressureisknowntobemorethan220mmHg.Inatingtoahigherpressurethan
necessary may result in bruising where the cuff is applied.
Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other purpose.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories according to applicable
local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.
Do not use a cellular phone near the device. It may result in an operational failure.
Use only Omron authorized parts and accessories. Parts and accessories not
approved for use with the device may damage the unit.
Useonly1.5V“AA”alkalinebatterieswiththisdevice.Donotuseothertypesof
batteries. This may damage the unit
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Donotsubjectthemonitortostrongshocks,suchasdroppingtheunitontheoor.
Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water.
Store the device and the components in a clean, safe location.
Changesormodicationnotapprovedbythemanufacturerwillvoidtheuser
warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing 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-ttingclothingfromyourleftarm.
5. Sitonachairwithyourfeetatontheoor.Restyourleftarmontablesothatthe
cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return
to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to
increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
8. 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.

DISPLAY SYMBOLS
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( )
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dened
as a rhythm that is more than 25%
slower or 25% faster from 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 doctor.
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. Reapply the arm cuff
and take another measurement.
HEARTBEAT SYMBOL/HYPERTENSION INDICATOR ( )
TAKING A MEASUREMENT
The Heartbeat Symbol ( )ashesonthedisplayduringthemeasurement.The
Heartbeat Symbol ( )ashesateveryheartbeat.
When the measurement is complete, the Heartbeat Symbol ( )ashesonthe
display with your blood pressure and pulse rate if the reading is above 135 for the
Systolic Blood Pressure value and/or above 85 for the Diastolic Blood Pressure

USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION
The Heartbeat Symbol ( )asheswhenthebloodpressurereadingstoredinthe
memory is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure value and/or above 85 for
the Diastolic Blood Pressure value.
AVERAGE VALUE SYMBOL ( )
The Average Value Symbol ( ) is displayed when you press the Memory button.
The most recent average reading appears on the display screen.
Internationally recognized guidelines for upper limit of normal home blood pressure
readings are as follows:
Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity.
A lower home blood pressure goal may be recommended for certain patients,
including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure.
WARNING
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
