C
Cuff wrap guide symbol (OK)
Appears if the wrist cuff is wrapped around the wrist
correctly while taking a measurement. It also
appears when viewing past readings.
Cuff wrap guide symbol (loose)
Appears if the wrist cuff is not wrapped around the
wrist correctly while taking a measurement. It also
appears when viewing past readings.
D
Heartbeat symbol
Flashes while taking a measurement.
Appears if your systolic blood pressure is 135
mmHg or above and/or the diastolic blood pressure
is 85 mmHg or above.
E
Deflation symbol
Appears during cuff deflation.
F
Bluetooth ON symbol
Appears when Bluetooth is enabled.
Bluetooth OFF symbol
Appears when Bluetooth is disabled.
G
Sync symbol
Flashes/appears when your data needs to be
transferred because the stored memory is either
almost, or completely full. Once you pair your
monitor with a smart device, transfer your readings
immediately before the monitor deletes the oldest
readings. Up to 30 readings can be stored in the
internal memory.
H
Battery symbol (low)

Battery symbol (depleted)
Appears when batteries are depleted.
I
Irregular heartbeat symbol
Appears along
with readings
when an irregular
rhythm is detected
2 or more times
during a
measurement.
An irregular
heartbeat rhythm
is defined as a
rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the
average rhythm detected while your monitor is
measuring blood pressure. If it continues to appear,
we recommend you to consult with and follow the
directions of your physician.
J

2. Preparation
3. Close the battery cover.
Note
•When the “ ” symbol flashes on the display, it is recommended
you replace batteries.
•To replace batteries, turn your monitor off and remove all batteries.
Then replace with 2 new alkaline batteries at the same time.
•Replacing batteries will not delete previous readings.
•The supplied batteries may have a shorter life than new batteries.
•Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance
with local regulations.
•As soon as batteries are correctly installed, “P” flashes on the
display to start pairing. To pair your monitor, refer to section 2.2. If
your monitor has already been paired with your smart device when
batteries are installed, "O" will flash. If it flashes, transfer your
readings.
2.2 Pairing Your Monitor with a Smart Device
Review the list of compatible smart devices at
www.omronconnect.com/devices/
1. Enable Bluetooth on your smart device.
2. Download and install the free “OMRON connect” app
onto your smart device.
If you already have the “OMRON connect” app, open the app
and add your new monitor.
3. Open the app on your smart device and follow the
instructions.
4. Confirm that your monitor is
connected successfully.
When your monitor is connected
successfully to your smart device, the
“OK” symbol appears.
Note
•If the “Err” symbol appears, follow the
instructions in the “OMRON connect”
app.
•Your monitor automatically turns off
after 10 seconds without any
operations.
•Any readings currently saved in the memory of your monitor
are automatically transferred to the app after successful
completion of the pairing process.
•Please be aware that OMRON will not be responsible for the
loss of data and/or information in the app.
•“OMRON connect” is the only app that we recommend to use
with your monitor to transfer data correctly.
2.3 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
•Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
•Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
•It is important to take measurements at same times each day.
Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is
recommended.
•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.
Caution
•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.
2.4 Applying the Wrist Cuff
Note
•Following steps are for applying the wrist cuff to your left wrist.
When you take a measurement on your right wrist, apply the wrist
cuff using the same steps as on your left wrist.
•The blood pressure can differ between the right wrist and the left
wrist, and the measured blood pressure values can be different.
OMRON recommends to always use the same wrist for
measurement. If the values between both wrists differ
substantially, please check with your physician as to which wrist to
use for your measurements.
Caution
•Remove tight-fitting, thick clothing and any accessories from your
wrist while taking a measurement.
1. Apply the wrist cuff to your left
wrist.
Roll up sleeve. Make sure your
sleeve is not rolled up too tightly on
your arm. This may constrict the flow
of blood in your arm.
2. Put your wrist through the cuff loop.
Your palm and monitor display should both
face upward.

Wrist cuff
3. Position the wrist cuff leaving a
clearance of 1 to 2 cm between the cuff and the bottom of your palm.
4. Wrap the wrist cuff firmly around
your wrist. Do not apply over clothing.
Check to make sure that there is no gap
between your wrist and the cuff.
Note
•Make sure the wrist cuff does not
cover the protruding part of the wrist
bone on the outside of your wrist.
2.5 Sitting Correctly
To take a measurement, you
need to be relaxed and
comfortably seated in a room with
a comfortable temperature. Place
your elbow on the table to support
your arm.
•Sit in a chair with your legs
uncrossed and your feet flat on
the floor.
•Sit with your back and arm
being supported.
•Your monitor must be
approximately the same level
as your heart. If the monitor is
too high above your heart, your blood pressure will be artificially
low. If the monitor is too low below your heart, your blood pressure
will be artificially high.
•Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench
your fist, or bend your wrist forward.
3.1 Taking a Measurement
Note
•To stop the measurement, press the [START/STOP] button once
to deflate the wrist cuff.
Caution
•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.
•Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.
1. Press the [START/STOP] button.
All symbols appear on the display before starting the
measurement.
2. Remain still and do not move or talk until the entire
measurement process is completed.
As the cuff inflates, your monitor automatically determines your
ideal inflation level. This monitor detects your blood pressure
and pulse rate during inflation.
The “ ” symbol flashes at every heartbeat.
Note
•The “ ” symbol appears if the wrist cuff is wrapped
around the wrist correctly.
•When the “ ” symbol is displayed, the wrist cuff is not
applied correctly. Press the [START/STOP] button to turn
your monitor off, then apply the cuff correctly.
After your monitor has detected your blood pressure and pulse
rate, the cuff automatically deflates. Your blood pressure and
pulse rate are displayed.
If either the systolic or the diastolic reading is high (refer to
section 1.3), the “ ” symbol appears.
3. Press the [START/STOP] button to turn your monitor off.
Note
•Your monitor will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
•Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time
allows the arteries to decompress and return to their pre-
measurement form. You may need to increase the wait time
depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
