The measurement starts

When the target inflation value is reached, the air is auto- matically released. The value in the display counts down- wards.

As soon as the monitor detects your pulse the ( ) sym- bol begins to flash.

When the monitor no longer detects your pulse whilst the cuff pressure is dropping, your systolic and diastolic blood pressures (upper and lower values) are displayed.

The pressure drop symbol ( ) begins to flash to announ- ce the end of the measurement.

When all the air has been released the ( ) symbol appe- ars on the display and your blood pres-

sure and pulse are displayed alternately for 5 minutes.

In some rare cases there are people where this

measuring method does not work due to physical structure. In such cases OMRON recommends to consult a doctor.

Successive readings

An interval of at least 2 – 3 minutes should be made in bet- ween two successive readings, otherwise the blood flow of the arm could be constricted, which would distort the results of the reading.

Switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF () button. The device switches off automatically after approximately 5 minutes.

In order to obtain meaningful readings, you should measu- re your blood pressure regularly at the same time of day, ideally every morning and evening.

How to use the memory function

This monitor has a memory capable of storing fourteen sets of readings. Every time you complete the measurement, the monitor automatically stores blood pressure and rate.

Push the ( ) Button to recall stored readings while the Heart Symbol ( ) is displayed.

When the memory is holding fourteen sets of readings, the oldest set will be deleted to store a new set.

To delete stored readings, press the ( )Button and the Start Button at once, then all the readings will be deleted.

NOTE: You can not delete the stored readings partially.
