Important Safety Information
Consult your doctor prior to using in pregnancy or if diagnosed with arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis.
Please read this section carefully before using the unit.
Warning:
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
(General Usage)
• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are dangerous.
• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a doctor before using the unit, as cuff
inflation can cause internal bleeding.
(AC Adapter Usage)
• Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with wet hands.
(Battery Usage)
• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately.
Caution:
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user
or patient or damage to the equipment or other property.
(General Usage)
• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express their consent.
• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect measurement results.
• Make sure that the air tube is not wrapped around other parts of your body when taking measurements. This could
result in injury when the air pressure in the air tube is increased.
• Do not leave the cuff wrapped on the arm if taking measurements during the night. This could result in injury.
• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields, near the unit. This may result in
incorrect operation of the unit.
• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
• To inflate the cuff manually, refer to Section 3.3. If the cuff is over inflated, it can cause internal bleeding.

3. Using the Unit
3.1 Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your upper arm.
Do not place the cuff over thick clothes.
1. Insert the air plug into the air jack.
2. Put your arm through the cuff loop.
3. Position the arm correctly.
The bottom edge of the cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow. Marker
(arrow under tube) is centred on the middle of your inner arm. Close the fabric
fastener FIRMLY.
Notes:
• When you take a measurement on the right arm, air tube will be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not
to rest your arm on the air tube. ---
• 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.

2. Press the O/I START button.
The cuff will start to inflate automatically.
If your systolic pressure is
more than 220 mmHg
After the cuff starts to inflate, press and hold
the O/I START button until the monitor
inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your
expected systolic pressure.
Notes:
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.

Dual Check System
Press the O/I START button, then the Dual Check System lamp lights and the unit starts detecting a device
error. If the unit is accurate and functioning correctly, the Dual Check System lamp remains lit during the
measurement. If an error is detected, the Dual Check System lamp flashes and “Er” will appear on the display.
Cuff Wrapping Guide
The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that indicates if the cuff is not wrapped tightly enough around
the arm. Even when the is displayed, a blood pressure reading will be taken.
Note: This reading is NOT reliable due to the incorrect wrapping of the cuff. Please wrap the cuff again,
taking care to wrap it correctly and take the measurement again.
When the is displayed, the cuff is correctly wrapped tightly enough on the arm and the reading
is accurate and reliable.
3. Remove the arm cuff.
4. Press the O/I START button to turn the monitor off.
The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory.
It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
Important:
• 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 7.
Systolic Blood Pressure Above 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg

3. Using the Unit
• 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.
• If you move during measurement, the movement error symbol ( ) will appear on the
display. Keep still and repeat the measurement.
Note: 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.
Warning:
Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. Please follow the instructions of
your doctor.

3.4 Using the Memory Function
The monitor automatically stores the result up to 100 sets for each user (A and B). It
can also calculate an average reading based on the measurements from the last
three readings taken within 10 minutes. If there are only two readings in memory for
that period, the average will be based on two readings. If there is one reading in
memory for that period, the average will be based on one reading.
Notes:
• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.
• When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time, “-:--” is displayed instead of the date and time.
To View the Average Value
1. Select your USER ID (A or B).
2. Press the Memory button.
Note: If there are no measurements results stored in the memory, the
screen to the right is displayed.
