Fill-in for future reference DATE PURCHASED: ______________ SERIAL NUMBER: ________________ Staple your purchase receipt here. This completely automatic instrument quickly measures your blood pressure and pulse rate. The measurement reading is clearly displayed on a large digital panel. Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s 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 Omron HEM-712C Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 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.

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. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm. 4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place. 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 physical characteristics. 6 BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT 1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction of the arrow. 2.
