measurements
are
not
possible in cases of severe
arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
• The pulse display is not suitable for measuring the frequency of cardiac
pacemakers.
• Please be sure to wrap the cuff around your wrist before starting.
Furthermore, do not inflate the cuff without wrapping it round your wrist.
• Do not use a portable phone near this unit. This unit may operate erroneous-
ly.
Please remember:
Self-measurement is not the same as medical treatment! You should
never change the dose of medicines prescribed by your doctor .
• If you suffer from disorders of heart rhythm (arrhythmia), you should consult
your doctor before using this blood pressure monitor. In certain cases the
oscillometric measuring method may produce incorrect readings or no read-
ings at all.
• Pregnant women should only measure their own blood pressure in consul-
tation with their doctor, since the readings may be changed by pregnancy.
Inserting the batteries
Open the battery compartment on the
right-hand side of the monitor by push-
ing the cover outwards, applying gentle
pressure.
When inserting the batteries, make
sure that the +/- poles agree with the
symbols in the battery compartment.
Use two identical 1.5 V batteries (type
LR03 alkaline).
If you do not intend to use the monitor
for a prolonged period, you should
remove the batteries.
If the (
) symbol appears, or if the display remains blank when you
switch the monitor on, please change both batteries. Only use new, high-
quality alkaline batteries.
In some rare cases there are people where this measuring method does
not work due to physical structure. In such cases OMRON recomends to
consult a doctor.
