An irregular heartbeat rhythm is
defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average
rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement
results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the
directions of your physician.
Cuff Wrap Guide Symbol ( / )
If the cuff was wrapped too loosely, it may cause unreliable values. If
the wrapping of cuff is too loose, the cuff wrap guide symbol
appears. Otherwise appears. This is the function which is used
as an aid in determining if the cuff is wrapped snugly enough.
Blood pressure Level Indicator
Blood pressure level indicator will light up
between the systolic blood pressure and
the diastolic blood pressure.
2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial
hypertension
Recent research suggests that the following values can be used as
a guide to high blood pressure for measurements taken in office or
at home.
Office Home
Systolic Blood Pressure • 140 mmHg • 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure • 90 mmHg • 85 mmHg

3 Using the Unit
3.1 Applying the Wrist Cuff
Do not apply over clothing.
1.
Place the wrist cuff over
your wrist.
Your palm should face upward.
2. Wrap the wrist cuff around
your wrist.
Wrap the wrist cuff securely
around the wrist for taking
accurate measurements.
Make sure that the wrist cuff
does not cover the protruding
part of the wrist bone (ulna) on
the outside of the wrist.
Note: You can take a
measurement on either
your left or right wrist.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need
to be relaxed and comfortably
seated, under comfortable room
temperature. No bathing, drinking
alcohol or caffeine, smoking,
exercising or eating 30 minutes
before taking a measurement.
• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the
floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• The cuff should be at the same level
as your heart.
• Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench
your fist, or bend your wrist forward.
3.3 Taking a Reading
Notes:
• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button at
any time during measurement.
• Remain still while taking a measurement.
1. Press the START/STOP button.

2. Undo the wrist cuff and remove the unit.
3. Press the START/STOP button to turn off the
monitor.
The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory.
It will automatically turn off after two minutes.
Notes:
• 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.
• 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.
3.4 Using the Memory Function
The unit automatically stores up to 60 sets of measurement
values (blood pressure and pulse rate).
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 Readings Stored in Memory
button, the latest value is displayed.
1.
Press the
The Memory number
appears for a second
before the pulse rate is
displayed. The newest
set is numbered "1".
2.
Press the button repeatedly to view the
readings stored in memory.
To Delete All the Values Stored in Memory
When the memory symbol ( ) appears, first press
the button. Then while holding it down, press the
START/STOP button simultaneously for about 2 - 3
seconds.
