In order to change batteries, take the monitor out of the holder carry pouch and remove the battery compartment cover on the back-side. Place two new, long- life AA alkaline batteries or two properly charged, high capacity AA rechargeable batteries into the compartment as shown in the polarity drawing. Close the compartment.

2.8. Cuffs and their application

The OMRON M24/7 comes with 2 cuffs, normal and large adult size (see below). The bladders are made of neoprene and are latex-free. It is advisable to wear a thin shirt or blouse under the cuff. This does not in uence the accuracy of blood pressure measurements but it prevents possible problems caused by long-time wear (sweating, itching, etc.). Place the cuff on the upper arm so that the rubber tube points towards the patient’s shoulder and the bladder is placed above the brachial artery, if possible. Contrary to the usual placement with the tube pointing downwards, the advantage is that the patient can wear a loose jacket over the cuff. Connect the rubber tube of the cuff into the air plug connector, which you can nd on the long edge closer to the buttons of the OMRON M24/7 monitor. Connect the cuff turning it clockwise with slight pressure.
