Before Taking a Measurement
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and
eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
2. Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
3. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.

cuff should be 1 to 2 cm
above the elbow. Marker
(arrow under the air tube) is
centred on the middle of
your inner arm.
3. Close the fabric fastener
FIRMLY.
Notes:
• When you take a measurement on the right
arm, the air tube will be at the side of your
elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on
the air tube.
• 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 both arms differ substantially,
please check with your doctor which arm to use for your
measurement.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated at
comfortable room temperature.
• Sit on a chair with your legs uncrossed and
your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit with your back and arm being supported.
• The arm cuff should be placed on your arm
at the same level as your heart.
3.3 Taking a Measurement
Notes:
• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button to release
the air in the arm cuff.
• Remain still and do not talk while taking a measurement.

Cuff Wrapping Guide
If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg
After the arm cuff starts to inflate, press and hold the START/STOP
button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mm Hg higher than your
expected systolic pressure.
Notes:
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
Note: 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.
LL Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement
results and self-treatment are dangerous.
Cuff Wrapping Guide:
The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that indicates if the cuff
is not wrapped tightly enough around the arm. Even when theO)
appears on the display, a blood pressure reading will be taken.
Note: This reading is NOT reliable due to the incorrect wrapping of the
cuff. Please wrap the cuff again, taking care to wrap it correctly
and take the measurement again. When the@ is displayed, the
cuff is correctly wrapped tightly enough on the arm and the
reading is accurate and reliable.
2.
Remove the arm cuff.
3.
Press the START/STOP button to tum the monitor off.
The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory.
It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
Important:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside
the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will
blink when the measurement result is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the following
values can be used as a guide to high blood
pressure for measurements taken at home.
Systolic Blood Pressure
Diastolic Blood Pressure
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats
can influence the results of the measurement.
The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically
determines if the measurement is usable or
needs to be repeated. If the measurement
results are affected by irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the
result is shown together with the irregular heartbeat symbol (■). If
the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid, no
result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat symbol (■) is shown after
you have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the
irregular heartbeat symbol (Ill is shown frequently, please make
your doctor aware of it.
• If you move during measurement, the movement
error symbol (I.I) will appear on the display.
Keep still and repeat the measurement.
