Troubleshooting

What to check
Are the batteries worn
out?
Are the polarities of
batteries wrong?
Did you keep the wrist
cuff at the same level
as your heart?
Is the wrist cuff
wrapped snugly?
Are you putting too
much stress on your
shoulder or arm?
Are you talking or
moving your hands
during measurement?
Is the wrist cuff leaking
air?
After referring to the section on pages 17 to 18,
consult the nearest OMRON dealer.
Blood pressure value varies according to the
mental state during measurement or the
measuring time. Take a deep breath, relax, then
measure again. (Refer to Page 17 to 18.)
