INTRODUCTION Fill in for future reference. DATE PURCHASED: __________________ SERIAL NUMBER: ____________________ Staple your purchase receipt here Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your bloods movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use. The HEM-711AC comes with the following components: · Monitor · AC Adapter · Storage Case · Standard Adult Arm Cuff · Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish The HEM-711AC IntelliSense® Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the precautions listed below: Read all information in the instruction book and any other literature included in the box before using the unit. Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider. The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions. Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in operational failure. Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose. Do not plug or unplug the adapter power cord with wet hands. Changes or modifications not approved by Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components. 3 BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations: 1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement. 2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times. 3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place. 4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm. 5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. 6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement. 7. Keep 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. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency. 8. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics. 4 KNOW YOUR UNIT Main Unit: Display Battery Compartment START/STOP Button MEMORY Button Date/Time Setting Button Air Jack AC Adapter Jack Components: Arm Cuff Air Tube Air Plug (Connects to Air Jack) Storage Case AC Adapter 5 UNIT DISPLAY Systolic Blood Pressure Diastolic Blood Pressure Memory Symbol Average Value Symbol Movement Error Symbol Heartbeat Symbol Pulse Display Deflation Symbol Date/Time Display Battery Low Symbol Irregular Heartbeat Symbol When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( ) will appear on the display with the measurement values.

START STOP NOTES: · Do not apply more pressure than necessary. · The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg. 16 USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION Every time you complete a measurement the monitor stores the blood pressure and pulse rate in the memory. The blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 60 measurement values. When 60 sets of measurement values are stored in the memory, the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent measurement values. The monitor also calculates an average reading based on the values of the three most recent measurements taken. If the date and time is not set, the measurement values will not be stored in the memory correctly. TO DISPLAY THE AVERAGE VALUE 1. Press the MEMORY button.
