Model
HEM-6111
Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis.
You should never change the dosage of medication prescribed by your doctor.
Use the HEM-6111 only for yourself.
Caution:
• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express
their consent.
• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult
a doctor before using the unit. Cuff inflation may cause internal bleeding.
• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
• Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. This may result in incorrect
operation of the unit.
• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit.
• Please observe the following points.
- Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
- Replace old batteries with new ones immediately.
- When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time
(approximately three months or more), take out the batteries.
- Do not use new and used batteries together.
- Do not use batteries of a different type together.
- Only use two “AAA” alkaline batteries with this unit. Do not use other types of
batteries.
- When using batteries, the battery liquid may leak and damage the main unit.
• Do not inflate the wrist cuff when it is not wrapped around your wrist.
You can ta
k
e a measurement on either your left or right
w
rist.
Measurements can also be made on
the right wrist.
Fit the unit on the right wrist as shown.
Notes:
• If the fastener is not wrapped securely
around your wrist, the cuff may slip
during measurement.
• If you have a slender wrist, the cuff may
feel slightly loose.
However, this will not affect measurement
results and you should not force the cuff to fit.
• The remaining part of the wrist cuff can be
conveniently folded back out of the way.
•
If the remaining part of the cuff is difficult
to fold back, measurement results will not
be effected.
Note:
T
o cancel a measurement, press the S

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as
P
C’s and mobile
(cellula

)
telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to
electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical
device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere
w
ith other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC
(
Electro Magnetic Compatibility
)
w
ith the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007
standard has been implemented
