2.3 General Precautions
• When you take a measurement on the right arm, the air tube should
be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the
air tube.
• Blood pressure may differ between the right and left arm, and
may result in a different measurement value. Always use the same
arm for measurements. If the values between both arms differ
substantially, check with your physician on which arm to use for
your measurements.
• When using an optional AC adapter, make sure not to place your
monitor in a location where it is difficult to plug and unplug the AC
adapter.
Battery Handling and Usage
• Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with
local regulations.
• The supplied batteries may have a shorter life span than new
batteries.
Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse
readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide
an accurate indication of your true blood pressure.
Please use the Blood Pressure Diary to keep records of several
readings over a certain period of time. To download PDF files of the
diary, visit www.omron-healthcare.com.
