3.Replace the battery cover.
Notes:
•When the low battery symbol (
) appears on the display, turn the monitor off, then replace all batteries at the same time. Long life alkaline batteries are recommended.
•The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the batteries are replaced.
•The supplied batteries may have a shorter life.
Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the national/local regulations for the disposal of batteries.
2.2 Setting the Date and Time
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.
• 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 while taking a measurement.
The monitor is designed to take measurements and store the measurement values in the memory for 2 people using USER ID 1 and USER ID 2.
Notes:
•If there are only 2 measurement values in the memory for that period, the average will be based on these 2 values.
•If there is 1 measurement value in the memory for that period, this is displayed as the average.
•If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest value.
•When viewing the measurement value taken without setting the date and time,

Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor
Model M3 IT
Instruction Manual
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M3 IT Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON M3 IT is a compact, fully automatic blood pressure monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable controlled inflation without the need of pressure
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population who can understand this instruction manual with the arm circumference range printed on the arm cuff. The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the measurement result.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the device. Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for three months or more.
General Precautions
•Do not forcibly crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.
•Do not press the air tube while taking a measurement.
•To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor, not the tube itself.
•Do not drop the monitor or subject device to strong shocks or vibrations.
•Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
•Do not use the device outside the specified environment. It may cause an inaccurate result.

Display symbols:
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (
)
When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol (
) will appear on the display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected
while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol (
) displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician.
Movement Error Symbol (
)
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 - 3 minutes.
Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.
Average Value Symbol (
)
The average value symbol is displayed when you press and hold the memory button for more than 3 seconds. The most recent average value appears on the display screen.
Cuff Wrap Guide Lamp (
)
If the cuff was wrapped too loosely, it may cause unreliable values. If the wrapping of cuff is too loose, the cuff wrap guide lamp does not light. Otherwise 
lights in green. This is the function which is used as an aid in determining if the cuff is wrapped snugly enough.
Blood Pressure Colour Indicator
If your systolic or diastolic pressure is above the standard range (135 mmHg for the systolic blood pressure and/or 85 mmHg for the diastolic blood pressure), the blood pressure colour indicator will light in orange when the measurement result is displayed. If they are within the standard range, no light will appear.
The JNC7* Guideline recommends the following guideline.
| General Guidelines for Blood Pressure | ||
| Prehypertension at Office | Hypertension at Home | |
Systolic Blood Pressure | 120 | - 139 mmHg | 135 mmHg |
Diastolic Blood Pressure | 80 | - 89 mmHg | 85 mmHg |
These are form statistical values for blood pressure.

3.Using the Device
3.1Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove
1.Insert the air plug into the air jack securely.
2.Apply the arm cuff to your left
upper arm.
The bottom edge of the arm cuff |
|
should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow. |
|
Air tube is on the inside of your arm |
|
and aligned with your middle finger. | 1 - 2 cm |
|
3. Secure closed with the fabric fastener.
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 physician which arm to use for your measurement.
1. Select your User ID (1 or 2).
2.Press the START/ STOP button.
The arm cuff will start to inflate automatically.
