Introduction
The OMRON M6 is a compact, 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 of pressure
pre-setting or re-inflation the devices uses its advanced “Intelli-
Sense” technology.
The device also stores up to 90 measurements in memory and
calculates an average value based on the last three measure-
ments. Each measurement is stored along with the date and
time of measurement.

Important Safety Information
• Blood pressure measurement is not suitable in cases of seri-
ous arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
• The pulse display is not suitable for monitoring the frequency
of cardiac pacemakers.
• Pregnant women should only measure their own blood pres-
sure in consultation with their doctor, since the readings can
be changed by pregnancy.
• Do not use the monitor on babies, young children or persons
who cannot express their consent.
• Do not use the monitor for any purpose other than measuring
blood pressure.
• Do not use a cellular phone near the monitor. This may result
in the monitor operating incorrectly.
• The battery liquid may leak and damage the monitor. Please
observe the following points.
- When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time
(approximately three months or more), take out the batteries.
- Replace old batteries with new ones immediately.
- Do not use old and new batteries together.
- Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• Please remember: Self-measurement is not the same as
medical treatment.
• You should never change the dose of medicines prescribed by
your doctor but you can help your doctor to optimize the treat-
ment by documenting the measured values. If there are unu-
sual values, please inform your doctor immediately.
• Never unplug the power cord with wet hands.
• Use only the original AC adapter designed for this unit. Use of
unsupported adapters may damage the device.

2.How to Obtain Meaningful Readings
EN
2. How to Obtain Meaningful Readings
To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, or
exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measure-
ment.
Note: Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm
on a table so that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your
heart.
2. Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm. The coloured marker
should be centred on the inside of your arm and point down the
inside of the arm, so that the air tube runs down the inside of
your forearm and is in line with your middle finger.
3. Secure the cuff around your arm using the fabric fastener strip.
4. Press the O/I START button.
When measurement is complete,
the monitor displays your blood
pressure and pulse rate, and auto-
matically deflates the cuff.
Notes:
• Always wait at least 2-3 minutes before taking another blood
pressure measurement.
• Please note that all measurement are stored in the memory. If
different people measure with the same device make sure
that you are aware of this fact.

3.2 Setting the Date and Time
Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 90
measurements values in its memory and calculates an average
reading based on the measurements from the last three read-
ings.
• Set the monitor to the correct date and time before taking a
measurement for the first time.
• If the batteries have been removed for a long period of time,
the date and time setting will need to be reset.
1. When the batteries are installed, the
year digits will flash in the display
when you turn on the monitor.
Note: If you need to reset the date
and time for some reason,
hold down the button while the power is off.
2. Press the button to advance
the digits one at a time.
To change the digits to a lower
number, press the button to
lower the digits one at a time.
If you hold down the or
button, the digits will advance (or
