Notes: • If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn off the unit then replace both batteries at the same time. • The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the batteries are replaced. Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the national regulations for the disposal of batteries. 2.2 Setting the Date and Time 1. Press the button. 2. Set the monitor to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time. 3. Press the START/STOP button to store the setting. Notes: • If the batteries have been removed, the date and time setting will need to be reset. • If the date and time are not set, “-:--” appears during or after measurement. 3. Using the Unit 3.1 Applying the Wrist Cuff Do not apply over clothing. 1. Put your arm through the cuff loop. 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. Notes: • You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist. • If the wrist cuff comes off, assemble as shown in the figure. 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. Select your User ID. 2. Press the START/STOP button. All the symbols appear on the display. While your position is improper, the Positioning symbol and the Positioning indicator flash, when you are in proper position the Positioning symbol lights on the display. After the Positioning symbol lights for more than 2 seconds, the wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically. Cuff Wrapping Guide The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that indicates if the cuff is not wrapped tightly enough around the wrist. Even when the is displayed, 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 wrist and the reading is accurate and reliable. 3. Undo the wrist cuff and remove the unit. 4. 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. Important: • Recent research suggests that the following values can be used as a guide to high blood pressure for measurements taken at home. 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 ( ) is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it. • If you move during measurement, the movement error symbol ( ) will appear on the display. Keep still and repeat the measurement. 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. Warning: Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor. 3.4 Setting the Positioning Sensor 1. Press and hold the button to reset the Positioning sensor. The Positioning sensor is set “on” as default. 2. Press the START/STOP button to store the setting. 3.5 Using the Memory Function The monitor automatically stores the result up to 100 sets for each user (A and B). It can also calculate an average reading based on the measurements from the last three readings taken within 10 minutes. If there are only two readings in memory for that period, the average will be based on two readings. If there is one reading in memory for that period, the average will be based on one reading. 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 Average Value 1. Select your User ID. 2. Press the button. Note: If there are no measurements results stored in the memory, the screen to the right is displayed.
