Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON R1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.

This remarkable, compact and easy to use instrument is ideal for people who 
frequently monitor their own blood pressure. The small, pre-formed wrist cuff is 
very convenient and easy to apply.

The OMRON R1 is a compact and easy to use 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 devices uses its advanced
“IntelliSense” technology.

The unit also stores the last measurement value in memory.

Intended Use

This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate of 
people within the range of the designated wrist 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. For

3.

Put the battery cover back in place.

Note:  The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even 
 

after the batteries are replaced.

2.2   Battery Life & Replacement

- When the battery low symbol (     ) starts to blink, you will still be able to use 
  the unit for a short while. You should replace the batteries with new ones 
  as soon as possible.
- When the symbol (     ) remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You should 
  replace the batteries with new ones at once.

If the battery low symbol (     ) appears on the display, 
replace both batteries at the same time.

Remove the battery compartment cover 
by pulling it off in the direction of the 
arrow.
1) Push the hook on the bottom of the 

battery cover.

2) Pull the cover off the main unit.

Insert two identical 1.5V “AAA” 
alkaline (LR03) batteries in the 
battery compartment.
Make sure their polarity (+/-) is 
aligned with the polarity (+/-) as 
indicated in the battery compartment.

• Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.
• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.
• Two new identical 1.5V “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.

Cause

Correction

Cause

Correction

Notes:

• Do not take measurement after bathing, drinking alcohol, or exercising.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.

Note:  Make sure that the wrist cuff does not cover the protruding part of 
 

the wrist bone (ulna) on the outside of the wrist.

Press and hold the O/I START button until the last
measurement value is displayed along with the memory 
symbol.

Do not use your other 
hand to support the wrist cuff. 
This can result in inaccurate 
measurement results.

Do not bend 
your wrist back.

Do not clench 
your fist.

Do not bend 
your wrist forward.

Position your arm so that 
the unit is at the same 
level as your heart.

Notes:

• 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 physician which arm to use for 
your measurement.

• To ensure correct measurement, apply the wrist cuff so that it fits 

comfortably around your wrist.

• Do not apply over clothing.

Notes:

• Unless the wrist cuff is wrapped securely 

around the wrist, it will not be possible to take 
correct measurements.

• 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.

Notes:
• Sit still and do not talk or move until the measurement is completed.
• Keep the unit at heart height until the measurement is completed.
• To stop measurement, press the O/I START button at any time during 

measurement.
