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.

3.1
How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement
Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate
results.
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
too 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
Note: 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 physician which
arm to use for your measurement.
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. 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
centered on the middle of
your inner arm and points
down the inside of the
arm.

3.Using the Unit
Important:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is
outside the standard range, the heartbeat
symbol will blink when the measurement
result is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the
following values can be used as a guide to
high blood pressure for measurements
taken at home.
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria,
please refer to Chapter 9 “Some Useful Information about
Blood Pressure”
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular
heartbeats can influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular heartbeat
algorithm automatically determines if the
measurement is usable or needs to be
repeated. If the measurement results are
affected by irregular heartbeats but the
result is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular
heartbeat symbol ( ). If the irregular heartbeats cause
the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the
irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown after you have
taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the
irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently,
please make your doctor aware of it.

3.Using the Unit
EN
What is Irregular Heartbeat?
An irregular
heartbeat is a
heartbeat rhythm
that varies by more
than 25% from the
average heartbeat
rhythm detected
while the unit is
measuring the
systolic and diastolic
blood pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm is detected more than twice during
measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) appears
on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.
What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract.
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is
abnormal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives
the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats,
premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or
slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart
disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep,
fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor
through a special examination.
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol
( ) in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be
determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.
Warning:
If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown
frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.
Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on
measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to follow the
instructions of your doctor.
