This completely automatic instrument quickly measures your blood pressure and pulse rate and displays them on an extra large digital panel. Your new HEM-712C/CLC 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. The oscillometric method does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use. The monitor features an adjustable inflation control switch that allows you to set your correct inflation level before measurement. The cuff fills with air at the push of a button and automatically deflates when measurement is complete. Press the Memory button and. your last measurement appears for an easy comparison. Error indicators alert you to incorrect procedures and an automatic power-off function conserves on batteries. Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the Omron HEM-712C / CLC Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor. For specific information on your own blood pressure, CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN. 2 KNOW YOUR UNIT Systolic B ood Pressure DisDlav Button BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT 1.

Know that eating, smoking, and exercising at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement raise your blood pressure. Stress also raises blood pressure. 2. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left upper arm. 3. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position. Rest your arm on the arm of a chair or on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. 4. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement. 5.
