Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON R6 Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor.
This remarkable, compact and easy to use instrument is ideal for
people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure. The small,
pre-formed wrist cuff is very convenient and easy to apply.
With the push of a button the OMRON Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
measures your blood pressure and pulse and displays the reading
on a clear digital panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at
work, and while travelling. It also stores up to 90 sets of measure-
ments in memory and displays an average reading based on the
three most recent measurements.
The OMRON Wrist Monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood
pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects the pulse
wave vibrations in the artery of your wrist and converts the oscilla-
tions into a digital reading.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood
pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in wrist
blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure because the
arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected.
Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will provide
you and your doctor with an accurate indication of changes in your
true blood pressure.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the unit. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Important Safety Information
Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia and
arteriosclerosis. People with poor peripheral circulation may find
that results for measurements taken at the wrist vary from those
taken on the upper arm. 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. Cuff inflation can
cause internal bleeding.
(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.
• Do not disassemble the unit or wrist cuff.
• Do not inflate the wrist cuff over 299 mmHg.

Battery Life & Replacement
If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display,
replace both 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 were
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 are removed, 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.
• Two new identical 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries will last
for approximately 300 measurements, when used to take
two 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 measure-
ment values in its memory and calculates an average value based
on the last three measurements. If the correct date and time has not
been set, the measurement values will not be stored in memory. To
make use of the memory and average value function:
• Set the monitor to the correct date and time before taking a mea-
surement 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 for
the first time, the year digits (2004)
will flash on the display when you
turn on the monitor.
Notes:
• The range for the year setting is 2004 to 2030. If the year
reaches 2030, it will return to 2004.
• If you need to reset the date and time, press the SET button
until the setting you want to adjust appears on the display,
then press the MEM button to change the setting.
2. Press the MEM button to advance
the digits one at a time.
Note: If you hold down the MEM
button, the digits will
advance rapidly.
3. Press the SET button to confirm the
setting when the desired number
appears on the display.
The year setting is set and the
month digits will flash.
