SAFETY SYMBOLS USED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or
damage to the equipment or other property.
BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes
before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the
measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.
5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on table so that the
cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return
to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to
increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
8. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A
single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood
pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

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 varies by less than 25% from
the average rhythm 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
doctor.
MOVEMENT ERROR SYMBOL ( )
The Movement Error Symbol ( ) is displayed if you move your body during the

The Average Value Symbol ( ) is displayed when you press the memory button.
The most recent average reading appears on the display screen.
HEARTBEAT SYMBOL/HYPERTENSION INDICATOR ( )
TAKING A MEASUREMENT
The Heartbeat Symbol ( ) flashes on the display during the measurement. The
Heartbeat Symbol ( ) flashes at every heartbeat.
When the measurement is complete, the Heartbeat Symbol ( ) flashes on the
display with your blood pressure and pulse rate if the reading is above 135 for the
Systolic Blood Pressure value and/or above 85 for the Diastolic Blood Pressure
value.
USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION
The Heartbeat Symbol ( ) flashes when the blood pressure reading stored in the
memory is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure value and/or above 85 for the
Diastolic Blood Pressure value.
Internationally recognized guidelines for upper limit of normal home blood pressure
readings are as follows:
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity.
A lower home blood pressure goal may be recommended for certain patients,
including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure.
OMRON HEALTHCARE recommends you contact your physician if the Heartbeat
Symbol ( ) flashes on the display with your measurement values.
