Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-Q132 Intellisense SpotArm™
Type Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON i-Q132 Intellisense 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 its advanced “Intellisense” technology.
The adjustable cuff angle corrects the body posture which tends to be
stooped. The elbow rest stabilizes the position and keeps the arm at
the most appropriate angle.
By simply placing the arm through the cuff, it automatically wraps
around your arm to the appropriate size and starts to measure your
blood pressure and pulse rate.
The monitor stores measurement results for two people and features
morning and evening averages.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using
the unit. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

2. Preparation
2.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries
To set the date and time, first insert the batteries, then attach the AC
adapter.
• Please insert the batteries even if you will be using the AC adapter.
The batteries are required to store the date and time setting.
If the unit is used without the batteries inserted, the clock will stop
when the AC adapter is disconnected. However, the measurement
values remain in the memory.
• If you use the AC adapter to power the unit, the backlight of the
display will light, making the display easier to see. The backlight will
not light when using batteries only.
• By using both the AC adapter and batteries, the batteries will last
longer.
Installing the Batteries
1. Make sure that the arm cuff is secured to the unit, and turn the
unit upside down.
2. Slide the battery cover in the
direction of the arrow while
pressing the ribbed part of the
cover.
