INTRODUCTION

Thank you for pur hasing the Omron HEM-629 Portable Wrist Blood
Pressure Monitor. This remarkable instrument is ideal for people
who frequently monitor their own blood pressure be ause it’s so
ompa t and easy to use. There is no tri ky arm uff, just a small,
pre-formed wrist uff that is easy to apply. With the push of a button
the Omron Wrist Monitor measures your blood pressure and pulse
rate and displays the reading on a lear digital panel. Perfe t for
qui k, easy readings at home, at work, and during travel.
The Omron Wrist Monitor uses the os illometri method of
blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor dete ts
your blood’s movement through the artery in your wrist and
onverts the movements into a digital reading. An os illometri
monitor does not need a stethos ope so the monitor is simple to
use and measurements are easy to obtain.
Clini al resear h has proven a dire t relationship between blood
pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in wrist
bloodpressure refle t hanges in arm blood pressure be ause the arteries
in the wrist and the arm are lose to ea h other. Frequently measuring the
blood pressure in your wrist will provide you and your do tor with an
a urate indi ation of hanges in your blood pressure.
Consult your physcician before measuring blood pressure
at the wrist if you have any of the following conditions:
severe hypertension, severe diabetes, severe arterialsclerosis,
severe kidney disease, or vasculor disease that may
compromise circulation.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the Omron Portable Wrist Blood Pressure onitor.
For specific information on your own blood pressure,
CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE
MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE
1. Eating, smoking, and exer ising within 30 minutes
before taking a measurement may affe t your blood
pressure. To take baseline blood pressure, rest for
at least 5 minutes before taking a reading.
2. Mental stress raises blood pressure.
3. Throughout the measurement, the
unit should be held at your heart
level. The arring ase is large
enough to raise the arm to
heart level.
4. Remain still and do not talk
during the measurement.

1. Slide the battery over off
in the dire tion of the arrow.
2. Insert or repla e 2 "AAA" size
batteries so that the + (positive)
and - (negative) markings
mat h those in the battery
ompartment.
3. Repla e the battery over.
4. If the Low Battery Indi ator
appears on the display, repla e
both batteries. Long-life alkaline
batteries are re ommended.
5. Remove the batteries if the
monitor will not be used for
an extended period of time.

1. Hold your left arm in front of you
with your palm fa ing up. Apply
the uff so that the monitor is on
the inside of your wrist with the
display in easy view.
2. The uff’s edge should be
approximately 1/4 to 1/2 in h
from below your palm.
3. Wrap the uff snugly around your
wrist. The top and bottom edges
of the uff should be tightened

1. Press the ON/OFF Button.
a) All the display symbols appear
for approximately one se ond.
This is the initial LCD test.
b) The display symbols disappear
and the Deflation Indi ation
Symbol ( ) starts to flash.
c) When the monitor ompletes
the ne essary preparations
before measurement, the
Heart Symbol (♥)appears
with a zero.
➧
2. Hold the unit at your heart level and press the START button.
The uff automati ally inflates to approximately 180 mm Hg.
a) Keep the unit at the heart level until the measurement is ompleted.
Read and follow directions in "Suggestions Before
Measuring Blood Pressure" and "How To Apply
The Wrist Cuff" before taking a reading.

b) If during your measurement (deflation) the
monitor determines that a higher pressure
value is required, it will momentarily stop
deflation and automati ally in rease the
pressure value to 230 mmHg.
c) To inflate higher than 230 mm Hg, during
deflation press and hold the START button
until the ne essary pressure value is rea hed.
DO NOT INFLATE HIGHER THAN 280 mmHg.
3. When the uff rea hes your orre t inflation
level, it begins to deflate automati ally.
As the uff deflates, de reasing numbers
appear on the display. The Heart Symbol
(♥)flashes at every heart.
4. The monitor exhausts the residual air when the
measurement is omplete. The Heart Symbol
(♥) stops flashing and your blood pressure
and pulse rate display alternately.
NOTE: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurement. Waiting allows the engorged blood vessels to return
to normal. You may require more rest time between readings depending
on your individual physiologi al hara teristi s.
Remember To Keep A Record Of Your Blood Pressure And
Pulse easurements.

MEMORY FEATURE INSTRUCTIONS
1. How to store the measured blood pressure values...
The measured and displayed blood pressure and pulse rate readings
are automati ally stored in the memory.
The memory an store the readings of up to fourteen measurements.
The memory stores the most re ent 14 readings. When more than 14 readings
have been taken the earliest readings are erased and repla ed by the most
re ent readings. The memory is not erased when the batteries are repla ed.
2. How to recall previously measured readings from memory...
While the (♥) symbol is displayed, you an re all and display readings
from the memory starting with the previous measured readings.
When you push the MEMORY Button “M”, if there is any measured reading
stored in the memory, M1 indi ating the latest memory, the systoli and the
diastoli blood pressures, and the pulse rate are displayed alternatively.
In order to re all the readings measured previously, push the MEMORY
Button “M” again. The values will be displayed as M2, M3,... et .
If there is no measured reading in the memory, a blank s reen with dashed
lines will be displayed, when the MEMORY Button “M” is pushed.
3. How to erase the memory...
All the measured readings stored in the memory an be erased simultaneously
by operating the buttons as follows:
While the (♥)symbol is displayed, push the MEMORY “M” and the START
Buttons simultaneously. Hold both buttons down for at least two se onds, a
blank s reen with dashed lines will be displayed and the measured readings
stored in the memory will be erased.
