Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON JPN2 Automatic Blood Pressure 

Monitor.
The JPN2 is a 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 

pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technol-

ogy.

Intended Use

This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate of 

people within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the instructions in 

this instruction manual.

It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the Important 

Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the unit.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.

replace the batteries with new ones at once. Turn the unit off before replacing 

the batteries.

Four new “AAA” alkaline batteries will last for approximately 300 measurements, 

when used to take two measurements a day.

Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they may have 

a shorter life and do not last for 300 measurements.

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.

If the battery low symbol (     ) appears on the display, 

replace all  four batteries at the same time.

Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results.

Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove 

thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading.

1.

Insert the air plug into the air jack 

on the left side of the main unit.

3.1   Applying the Arm Cuff

2.

Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm. The air tube should be 

centred on the inside of your arm and point down the inside of 

the arm, so that the air tube runs down the inside of your 

forearm and is in line with your middle finger.

Apply the cuff so that the air tube is 

at the side of your elbow.

Notes:

• Be careful not to rest your arm on 

  the air tube, or otherwise restrict 

  the flow of air to the cuff.

HEM-7117-AP3_A_M05_140924.pdf

Note: You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. 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.

• Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular 

  heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats can

  influence the results of the measurement.

  The irregular heartbeat algorithm

  automatically determines if the measurement

  is usable or needs to be repeated. If the

  measurement results are affected by irregular heartbeats but

  the result is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular

  heartbeat symbol (    ). If the irregular heartbeats cause the

  measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the Irregular

  heartbeat symbol (    ) is shown after you have taken a

  measurement, repeat the  measurement. If the Irregular

  heartbeat symbol (    ) is shown frequently, please make your

  doctor aware of it.

What is Irregular Heartbeat?

An irregular heartbeat is a heartbeat rhythm 

that varies by more than 25% from the 

average heartbeat rhythm detected 

while the unit is measuring the systolic 

and diastolic blood pressure.

If such an irregular rhythm is detected 

more than twice during measurement, 

the irregular heartbeat symbol (    ) 

appears on the symbol when the 

measurement results are displayed. 

What is Arrhythmia?

A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart to contract.

Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due to flaws in 

the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are 

skipped heartbeats, premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or 

slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart disease, aging, physical 

predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be 

diagnosed by a doctor through a special examination.

Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol (    ) in the results 

indicates arrhythmia or not can only be determined by an examination and 

diagnosis by your doctor. 

      Warning: 

If the irregular heartbeat symbol (    ) is shown frequently, please make your doctor 

aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on measurement 

results is dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.
