INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-712CLC Automatic
Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor.

Staple your purchase receipt here.
This monitor features automatic inflation and deflation to quickly measure
your blood pressure and pulse rate. The measurement reading is clearly
displayed on a large digital panel.
The HEM-712CLC 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 Omron HEM-712CLC Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor
is intended for home use.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE TAKING
A MEASUREMENT
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising 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. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm
on a table so that the 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.
8. 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 physical characteristics.

BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction
of the arrow.
2. Install 4 “AA” size batteries so + (positive)
and – (negative) polarities match the polarities
of the battery compartment as indicated.
3. Replace the battery cover.
NOTE: If the Low Battery Indicator appears
on the display, replace all four batteries.
Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the sewn
hook material will be on the outside
of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring
will not touch your skin.
2. Pass the end of the cuff furthest from
the tubing through the metal D-ring to
form a loop. The smooth cloth should
be on the inside of the cuff loop.
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop.
The bottom of the cuff should be
approximately 1/2 inch above the
elbow. The green marker on the cuff
should lie over the brachial artery on
the inside of the arm. The cuff tube
should run down center of arm even
with middle finger.
