3. Initial Test: Press START/STOP to power on. All display symbols will appear briefly, then it turns off.

Tip: Use new alkaline batteries for best performance.

Applying the Cuff

Correct application is essential for accurate readings.

1. Sit comfortably with feet flat on the floor, back supported.
2. Bare your left arm. Place cuff on upper arm with air tube aligned down the inner arm.
3. Position the cuff edge 1-2 cm above elbow. Artery mark should be over the brachial artery.
4. Wrap cuff snugly using the D-ring closure. You should fit one finger between cuff and arm.
5. Rest arm on a table with palm up, cuff at heart level.

WARNING! Do not apply cuff over clothing. Remain still and quiet during measurement.

Taking a Measurement

1. Press the START/STOP button. All symbols appear, then "0" flashes.
2. Cuff inflates automatically to a sufficient level, then gradually deflates.
3. Your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate appear on the display.
4. The cuff deflates completely. The last reading is stored in memory.
5. The monitor turns off automatically after 1 minute.

For best results: Avoid eating, smoking, exercising, or drinking caffeine 30 minutes before measurement. Rest for 5 minutes beforehand.

Understanding Results

The display shows:

• Systolic Pressure: Top number (e.g., 120).
• Diastolic Pressure: Bottom number (e.g., 80).
• Pulse Rate: Beats per minute.
• Hypertension Indicator: Appears if systolic ≥135 mmHg or diastolic ≥85 mmHg.

Note: A single high reading is not a diagnosis. Track measurements over time and consult your physician.

Memory Function

The monitor stores the last measurement taken.

1. To recall the last reading, press the START/STOP button while the monitor is off.
2. The last systolic, diastolic, and pulse values appear for about 1 minute, then the unit turns off.
3. Taking a new measurement overwrites the previous memory.

Tip: For tracking trends, record your readings in a log or use the Omron Connect app (if compatible).

Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the low battery icon appears on display.

1. Press the battery compartment cover release and remove the cover.
2. Remove old batteries and insert 4 new AA batteries, observing polarity (+/-).
3. Replace the cover.

CAUTION! Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove batteries if not using for 3 months or more.
