3.2   How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be 

relaxed and comfortably seated, under 

comfortable room temperature. No eating, 

smoking or exercising 30 minutes before 

taking a measurement.

• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

• Sit upright with your back straight.

• The cuff should be at the same level as your 

heart. 

1 to 2 cm

• 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 the two arms differ substantially, 

please check with your doctor which arm to use for your 

measurement.

1.

2.

Remove the arm cuff.

3.

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

The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its 

memory.

It will automatically turn off after 5 minutes.

After the measurement, the backlight will automatically 

turn off without any operation within 1 minute.

The monitor automatically stores the result up to 60 sets in the memory 

for two people (USER A and USER B) every time a measurement is 

completed. It can also calculate an average reading based on the 

measurements from the last three readings taken within 10 minutes. If 

there are only two readings in memory for that period, the average will 

be based on two readings. If there is one reading in memory for that 

period, the average will be based on one reading.

Notes:

• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.

• When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time, 

“-:--” is displayed instead of the date and time.

Note:  Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure 

measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to 

return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure 

measurement.

Note:  You cannot partially delete the stored readings.

When the memory symbol (    ) appears, first press the Memory 

button. Then while holding it down, press the START/STOP button 

simultaneously for about 2-3 seconds.

Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. 

Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
