Automatic Wrist

Blood Pressure Monitor

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.

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-6111 Automatic Wrist Blood 

Pressure Monitor.

The OMRON HEM-6111 is compact and easy-to-use at home, at work,

 and 

during travel. Perfect for people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure.

The unit also stores up to 30 measurement results in the memory.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the

 unit. For specific

information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

3.1   Applying the Wrist Cuff

This unit has a memory capable of storing 30 sets of readings. Every 

time you complete the measurement, the unit automatically stores the 

blood pressure and pulse rate.

If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside 

the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will 

blink when the measurement result is displayed. 

Refer to “3.3 Taking a Reading”.

2.

Press the MEM button repeatedly 

to cycle through the previous 

measurement results. 

The Memory 

number appears for a second before 

the pulse rate is displayed. 

The newest set is numbered “1”.

Press the START/STOP button to turn the unit off.

If you forget to turn the unit off, it 

wi

ll automatically shut

itself off after t
