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.

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.
