INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-432C Manual Inflation  
Blood Pressure Monitor.

DATE PURCHASED: ______________  
SERIAL NUMBER: ________________  
Staple your purchase receipt here.  
The monitor features an easy-to-squeeze inflation bulb that allows  
you to quickly inflate the cuff. The measurement reading is clearly  
displayed on a large digital panel.  
Omron digital blood pressure monitors use 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-432C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor  
is intended for home use.

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.  
Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose.  
The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse  
rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants.  
Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in  
operational failure.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE  
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before  
taking a measurement.  
2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff  
should be about 1/2 inch above the elbow. The cuff tab should lie  
over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.  
3. Pull the cuff so that it is tightened evenly around your arm. Insert one  
finger under cuff to check fit. Press the sewn hook material firmly  
against the pile side of the cuff. Make sure that your skin will not be  
pinched in the D-ring once you inflate the cuff. Immediately deflate  
the cuff and readjust it if skin becomes pinched.  
4. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your left arm  
on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.  
5. Turn the monitor on, and after the Ready To Measure Symbol (  
)
appears next to a zero on the digital panel, rapidly squeeze the  
inflation bulb to inflate the cuff. Stop pumping when the numbers  
on the display are approximately 40 mmHg higher than your  
normal systolic blood pressure. Do not inflate over 280 mmHg.  
6. The cuff will deflate automatically. Remain still throughout  
the entire reading.  
7. When measurement is complete, the monitor alternately displays  
your blood pressure/ pulse rate on the digital panel. Press the Air  
Release Button to remove air in the cuff.  
8. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement.

BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT  
1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction  
of the arrow.  
2. Install 4 “AA” size batteries so + (positive)  
and – (negative) polarities match the polarities  
of the battery compartment as indicated.  
3. Replace the battery cover.  
NOTE: If the Low Battery Indicator appears on the  
display, replace all four batteries.  
Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
To keep your digital blood pressure monitor in the best condition and  
protect the unit from damage follow the directions listed below:  
Clean the monitor with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive or  
volatile cleaners. Do not attempt to clean the cuff. Never immerse the  
monitor or any components in water.  
Store the monitor in a safe and dry location. Do not fold the cuff  
and tubing tightly. Do not subject the monitor to extreme hot or cold  
temperatures, humidity and direct sunlight.  
Avoid subjecting the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the  
unit on the floor.  
Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or  
longer. Always replace all the batteries with new ones at the same time.  
Use the unit consistent with the instruction provided in this manual.  
Use only authorized parts and accessories.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF  
Pile Material  
1. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the sewn  
hook material will be on the outside  
of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring  
will not touch your skin.  
Sewn Hook  
Material  
2. Pass the end of the cuff furthest from  
the tubing through the metal D-ring to  
form a loop. The smooth cloth should  
be on the inside of the cuff loop.

Smooth Cloth  
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop.  
The bottom of the cuff should be  
approximately 1/2 inch above the  
elbow. The cuff tab on the cuff  
should lie over the brachial  
1/2 inch (12.7 mm)  
artery on the inside of the arm.  
Tube should run down center  
of arm even with middle finger.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF  
4. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are  
tightened evenly around your arm.  
5. When the cuff is positioned correctly, press the  
sewn hook material FIRMLY against the pile  
side of the cuff.  
6. Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm.  
The cuff should make good contact with your skin.  
7. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and  
place your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the  
same level as your heart.  
8. Relax your arm and turn your palm upward.  
9. Be sure there are no kinks in the air tubing.

c) When the monitor completes the necessary  
preparations before measurement, the Heart Symbol  
(
) appears next to a zero. Wait for the Heart  
Ready  
To Measure  
Symbol ( ) before taking a measurement.  
2. Begin inflating the cuff by rapidly squeezing the inflation  
bulb until you have reached approximately 40 mmHg higher  
than your normal systolic reading. If your normal systolic  
blood pressure is unknown, inflate the cuff to 180 mmHg.

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT  
3. Remain still. The cuff will begin to deflate automatically.  
4. As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers  
appear on the display. The Heart Symbol  
(
) flashes at every heartbeat.

5. When measurement is complete, the Heart  
Symbol ( ) stops flashing and your blood  
pressure and pulse rate are displayed alternately.  
6. When the Deflation Indication Symbol  
(
) appears on the display, push the  
Blood Pressure

(for approx. 2 sec.)  
NOTE: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking  
another blood pressure measurement.  
Waiting between readings allows the  
arteries to return to the condition prior  
to taking the blood pressure measurement.
