Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7300 Upper Arm Blood
Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON HEM-7300 is a fully automatic blood pressure monitor,
operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood
pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable controlled
inflation without the need for pressure pre-setting or re-inflation, the
device uses advanced “IntelliSense” technology.
The unit also stores up to 90 measurements in memory and calculates
an average reading based on the three most recent measurements
taken within 10 minutes of the last reading.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the unit. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

2.1
Installing/Replacing the Batteries
1. Turn the main unit upside down.
2. Slide the battery cover in the
direction of the arrow while
pressing the ribbed part of the
cover.
3. Install or replace four “AAA”size
batteries so that the + (positive)
and - (negative) polarities match
the polarities indicated on the
battery compartment.
4. Put the battery cover back in
place.
Slide the battery cover as
indicated, until it clicks into
place.
Note: The measurement values continue to be stored in
memory even after the batteries are replaced.

2.Preparation
Battery Life & Replacement
If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace all four
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 are 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 have been removed for more than 30 seconds, 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.
Four new “AAA”alkaline batteries will last for approximately 300
measurements, when used to take three 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 90
measurements values with the date and time. To make use of the
memory and average values functions:
• Set the unit to the correct date and time before taking a measurement
for the first time.
• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the
Date/Time setting will need to be set.
1. Press and hold the Date/time
setting button ( ) to adjust the
date and time. The year digits
(2008) will flash on the display.
2. Press the Memory button ( ) to
advance the digits one at a time.

• The range for the year setting is
2008 to 2030. If the year
reaches 2030, it will return to
2008.
• If you hold down the Memory
button ( ), the digits will
advance rapidly.

How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement
You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm.
Notes:
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in
a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or
cold.
• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30
minutes before taking a measurement.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.
Correct
Posture Remove tight fitting clothing from
your upper arm, and any thick
clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick
clothes and do not roll up your sleeve
if it is too tight.
Sit upright
with your
back straight. Place your arm on a table so
that the cuff will be at the
same level as your heart.
The gap between the
chair and the top of the
table should be between
25cm to 30cm.

3.Using the Unit
Notes:
• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate
results.
• You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to
strain or the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions
etc., to adjust the height of your arm.
• Arched back (leaning forwards)
• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low table
so that you tend to lean forward

3.Using the Unit
3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff
Notes:
• Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results.
• Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove
thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading.
• You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. The
blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm and
therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different.
Omron recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If
the values between the two arms differ substantially, please check
with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.
Taking measurements on the left arm
1. Insert the air plug into the
air jack on the left side of
the main unit.
2. Put your left arm through
the cuff loop.
Note: If the cuff isnot assembled,
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.
HEM-7300-C3_B_M.fm Page 16 Tuesday, March 9, 2010 10:17 AM

3.Using the Unit
3. Position the arm correctly.
Taking measurements on the right arm
Apply the cuff so that
the air tube is at the
side of your elbow.
• Be careful not to rest
your arm on the air
tube, or otherwise
restrict the flow of air
to the cuff.
• The cuff should be 1
to 2 cm above the
elbow.
4. When the cuff is positioned correctly, close the fabric fastener
FIRMLY.
1) The air tube should run
down the inside of your
forearm and be in line with
your middle finger.
2) The bottom of the cuff
should be approximately 1
to 2 cm above your elbow.
3) Apply the cuff to your
upper arm so that the
coloured marker (blue
arrow under tube) is
centred on the middle of
your inner arm and points
down the inside of the
arm.

3.Using the Unit
3.3 Taking a Reading
1. Press the START/STOP button to turn on the unit.
All symbols appear on the display.
The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the
unit automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This
unit detects the pulse during inflation. Do not move your arm
and remain still until the entire measurement process is
completed.
Note: To stop the inflation or measurement, press and release
the START/STOP button. The unit will stop inflating,
start deflation and will turn off.
2. When the measurement is complete, the
arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood
pressure and pulse rate are displayed.

3.Using the Unit
3. Press the START/STOP button
to turn the unit off.
Note: If you forget to turn the
monitor off, it will
automatically turn off after
two minutes.
Notes:
• Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous.
Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
• Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement.
Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition
prior to taking the blood pressure measurement.

The guest mode can be used to take a single measurement for another
user.
No measurement values are stored in the memory when the guest
mode is selected.
1. Press and hold the START/STOP button for 3 seconds.
The Guest symbol ( ) appears on
the display.
2. Release the START/STOP button.
The cuff starts to inflate automatically.
Note: To stop the inflation, press the START/STOP button.
The monitor will stop inflating, start deflating and turn
off.
3. Inflation stops and the measurement is started. When the
measurement is completed, your blood pressure and pulse
rate appear on the display.
