3.5 Using the Memory Function
The monitor automatically s tores the result up to 90 sets.
It can also calculate an average reading based on the
measurements from t he last three readings taken w ithin 10
minutes. If th ere are only two readings in memory for that
period, the average will be based on two readings . If there is
one reading in memory for that period, the average wi ll be
based on one r eading.
Notes:
• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldes t
readings.
• When viewing the reading t ak en without setting t he date and
time, “-:--” is displayed instead of the date and t ime .

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic
Comp atibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices suc h as PC’s and
mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference f rom other devices.
Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrec t operation of
the medical device and create a potentially unsaf e situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with ot her devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for E MC (Electro M agnetic
Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsaf e product situations , the
EN60601-1-2:2007 standard has b een implemented. This standard
defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as
well as maximum levels of electromagnetic em issions for medical
devices.
This medical device manufac tured by OMRON HEAL THCARE
conforms to this EN60601-1- 2:2007 standard for both immunity and
emissions.

generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the
medical device. T his may result in incorrect operation of t he unit
and create a potentially uns afe situation. Recommendation is to
keep a minimum distance of 7 m . V erify correct operation of the
device in case t he distance is shorter .
