2. Preparation 2.1 1. Installing/Replacing the Batteries Remove the battery compartment cover by pulling it off in the direction of the arrow. 1) Push the hook on the bottom of the battery cover. 2) Pull the cover off the main unit. 2 1 2.

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 as soon as possible.
3. Using the Unit 3.1 Applying the Wrist Cuff You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist. Notes: • 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.
3.Using the Unit 2. Hold the bottom part of the wrist cuff and wrap it around the wrist while pulling so that it fits comfortably. Notes: • Unless the wrist cuff is wrapped securely around the wrist, it will not be possible to take correct measurements. • If you have a slender wrist, the cuff may feel slightly loose. However, this will not affect measurement results and you should not force the cuff to fit. • The remaining part of the wrist cuff can be conveniently folded back out of the way.
3.Using the Unit 3.2 Correct Posture Correct posture during measurement helps you get accurate results. You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day. Notes: • Do not take measurement after bathing, drinking alcohol, or exercising. • Do not move or talk during measurement. Sit comfortably with your back straight, hold your arm across your chest and relax. Position your arm so that the unit is at the same level as your heart.
3.Using the Unit 3.3 1. Taking a Reading Press the O/I START button to start measurement. The wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically after the power is turned on. 2. After the unit has detected your blood pressure and pulse rate, the cuff automatically deflates and your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed. Notes: • Sit still and do not talk or move until the measurement is completed. • Keep the unit at heart height until the measurement is completed.
3.Using the Unit 3. Check the measurement result. The unit automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate into its memory. Refer to “3.4 Using the Memory Function”. 4. Undo the cuff and remove the unit. 5. Press the O/I START button to turn off the unit. If you forget to turn off the unit, it will shut itself off automatically after two minutes.
3.Using the Unit 3.4 Using the Memory Function This unit has a memory capable of storing 30 sets of readings. Every time you complete the measurement, the unit automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate. Note: When 30 sets of readings are stored in memory, the oldest set will be deleted to store a new set. To View Previous Readings Stored in Memory 1. Press the MEM button to view readings stored in memory from the most recent to the oldest.
3.Using the Unit To Delete All Values in Memory You cannot delete the stored readings partially, all the readings in the unit will be deleted. To delete stored readings, first press the MEM button. Then while holding it down, press the O/I START button simultaneously for about 2-3 seconds. All readings will then be deleted. Note: After the reading have been deleted, the screen to the right of the illustration above appears and Memory symbol flashes. Release the buttons to return to the memory display.

8. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart’s cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure. Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.
