Before using the unit
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the HEM-6052 Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor.
This remarkable, compact and easy to use instrument is ideal for
people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure. The
small, pre-formed wrist cuff is very convenient and easy to apply.
With the push of a button the HEM-6052 measures your blood
pressure and pulse and displays the reading on a clear digital
panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at work, and
while travelling. It also stores up to 100 sets of measurements in
memory and displays an average reading based on the three
most recent measurements.
The HEM-6052 uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects the pulse wave
vibrations in the artery of your wrist and converts the oscillations
into a digital reading.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood
pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in
wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure
because the arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected.
Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will
provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication of
changes in your true blood pressure.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly
before using the unit. For specific information about
your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Important Safety Information
Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia and
arteriosclerosis. People with poor peripheral circulation may find
that results for measurements taken at the wrist vary from those
taken on the upper arm. 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. 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 wrist cuff.
• Do not inflate the wrist cuff over 299 mmHg.

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.
• When the batteries are replaced, you may need to reset the
date and time. If the year is flashing on the display screen,
refer to “2.2 Setting the Date and Time”.
• Do not use new and used batteries together.
General Safety Precautions
• Do not inflate the wrist cuff when it is not wrapped around your
wrist.
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit.
• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol,
smoking, exercising or eating.

2.Preparation
Battery Life & Replacement
If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace
both batteries at the same time.
- When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still
be able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace
the batteries with new ones ahead of time.
- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries were
exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones at
once.
• Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three
months or more.
• If the batteries are removed, the Date/Time setting will need to
be reset. See “2.2 Setting the Date and Time” for details.
• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.
• Two new identical 1.5V “AAA” alkaline (LR03) batteries will last
for approximately 300 measurements, when used to take two
measurements a day.
• Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they
may have a shorter life and not last for 300 measurements.

2.Preparation
2.2 Setting the Date and Time
Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 100
measurement values in its memory and calculates an average
value based on the last three measurements. To make use of
the memory and average value function:
• Set the monitor to the correct date and time before taking a
measurement for the first time.
• If the batteries have been removed for a long period of time,
the date and time setting will need to be reset.
1. Press the Date/Time setting
( ) button. The year digits
(2009) will flash on the display.
Notes:
• The range for the year setting
is 2009 to 2030. If the year
reaches 2030, it will return to 2009.
• If you need to reset the date and time, press the
button until the setting you want to adjust appears on the
display, then press the Date/Time setting ( ) button to
change the setting.
2. Press the button to advance
the digits one at a time.
Note: If you hold down the
button, the digits will
advance rapidly.
3. Press the button to confirm
the setting when the desired
number appears on the display.
The year setting is set and the
month digits will flash.
