EN
• During measurement, observe the arm to ensure that the monitor is not
causing prolonged impairment to blood circulation.
• DO NOT use this monitor in high-use environments such as medical clinics or
physician offices.
• DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME) equipment
simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or
cause an inaccurate reading.
• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating
for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Remove tight-fitting or thick clothing from your arm while taking a
measurement.
• Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.
• ONLY use the arm cuff on persons whose arm circumference is within the
specified range of the cuff.
• Ensure that this monitor has acclimated to room temperature before taking a
measurement. Taking a measurement after an extreme temperature change
could lead to an inaccurate reading. OMRON recommends waiting for
approximately 2 hours for the monitor to warm up or cool down when the
monitor is used in an environment within the temperature specified as
operating conditions after it is stored either at the maximum or at the
minimum storage temperature. For additional information on operating and
storage/transport temperature, refer to section 10.
• DO NOT use this monitor after the durable period has ended. Refer to
• DO NOT crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.
• DO NOT fold or kink the air tube while taking a measurement. This may cause
an injury by interrupting blood flow.
• To unplug the air plug, pull on the plastic air plug at the base of the tube, not
the tube itself.
• ONLY use the AC adapter, arm cuff, batteries and accessories specified for
this monitor. Use of unsupported AC adapters, arm cuffs and batteries may
damage and/or may be hazardous to this monitor.
• ONLY use the approved arm cuff for this monitor. Use of other arm cuffs may
result in incorrect readings.
• Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising of the arm
where the cuff is applied. NOTE: refer to “If your systolic pressure is more
than 210 mmHg” in section 3 of this instruction manual for additional
information.
Data Transmission
• DO NOT replace batteries or unplug the AC adapter while your readings are
being transferred to your smart device. This may result in incorrect operation
of this monitor and failure to transfer your blood pressure data.
