HOW TO TAKE A READING
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately
one second. This is the initial display test.
b) When the monitor completes the necessary
preparations before measurement, the Heart
symbol (
) appears in the upper right
hand corner of screen.
2. By pressing the START button the unit
automatically inflates the cuff to 170 mmHg.
a) If during your measurement the monitor
determines that a higher pressure value is
required, it will momentarily stop deflation
and automatically increase the pressure
value by 40 mmHg.
b) To set inflation level manually higher than
170 mmHg, press and hold the START
button until the desired pressure value
is reached. Do not inflate higher than
280 mmHg.
3. When the correct pressure value is reached,
the cuff starts to deflate automatically. As the
cuff deflates, decreasing numbers appear on
the display. The Heart symbol (
) flashes
at every heartbeat.
4. When the measurement is complete, the
Heart symbol( ) stops flashing and your
blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed
alternately. Results will be displayed until you
turn the unit off. The unit will automatically
shut off in approximately 5 minutes.

HOW TO USE THE AC ADAPTER
1. When using AC power, use only the exclusive Omron AC adapter (HEM-ADPT1). To
order an Omron AC adapter contact Omron Healthcare, Inc. at 1-800-634-4350. Tell the
phone representative you want to order model number HEM-ADPT1.
2. Insert the AC adapter cord into the jack on the back side of the monitor.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug into
a 120V AC outlet (50-60 cycles).
4. To remove the AC adapter,
disconnect the adapter plug
from the AC outlet first and
then disconnect the cord from the
monitor's jack. To avoid possible
damage to the monitor, use only
the exclusive AC adapter (HEM-ADPT1).
Other adapters may vary in output voltage and polarities.
Note: The monitor is designed not to draw power from the batteries
when the AC adapter is in use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To protect your monitor from damage, please observe the following:
Failure to follow these directions will void warranty.
Do not subject your monitor to extreme temperatures, humidity,
or direct sunlight.
Do not fold the cuff and tubing tightly.
Do not inflate the monitor over 280 mmHg.
Do not disassemble the monitor.
Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping it on the floor.
Do not clean the monitor with volatile liquids.
THE MONITOR SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH ONLY.
