To take an accurate reading, first position the green marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. | 
Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. | Instructions for Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor. First of all, avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm, and sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slide your left arm through the cuff and position the cuff approximately 0.5-inches above the elbow. On the cuff you'll notice a green marker; position this marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. Next, secure the cuff with the Velcro material. The cuff should make direct contact with your skin, but you should be able to easily fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm. Place your arm on a table so that the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. Rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your blood pressure measurement. Once you feel relaxed, simply press the start button and remain still. The cuff will begin to inflate and numbers will appear on the display as the heart symbol flashes. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders because their blood pressure is so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation, every time, for maximum comfort. The Importance of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals all recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons. Home monitoring provides your healthcare professionals with better information to understand and manage your high blood pressure. Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:
- White-Coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in your doctor's office but lower at home
- Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
- Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the morning
Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications, and stress. So having your blood pressure monitored at a pharmacy with an in-store device after you've been shopping or walking around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement. Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you achieve a relaxed state more easily, and it gives you the flexibility to take your measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your healthcare professional with a log of your measurements over time. This can help them evaluate the effectiveness or need for medication. What's in the Box

 Blood Pressure Monitor August 31, 2008
I owned the Omron 711 (sister monitor to the one in this review) a while ago and it was powered from an A/C adapter. I purchased the 712 cuz it was less expensive--by half. Hey, the Omron design worked well, why pay twice the price--an Omron is an Omron. Upon delivery,I was surprised to discover the 712 was totally dependent on using AA batteries. I almost sent it back for a trade, but decided to try it out.
The Amazon web site did not highlight the battery power dependence. Yup, in the comparison at the bottom of the web page, it shows AA power only, but I was determined to buy an Omron because of the positive rating of Consumer Report and did not read Amazon's fine print detail.
Read the "Product Features" section on Amazon's web site (where this feature should be noted) and there is nay a word about battery dependence. This is flat out poor item description writing.
The portability of battery power is more convenient for sure. Glad I did keep it; I have used it a lot of times and it is still chugging away on the 2x AA batteries.
I have compared my portable home monitor versus my doctor's office BP monitor and they are very close in readings.
Pros of convenience and accuracy and no con yet.
Great little gadget August 30, 2008
The Omron HEM712C is a wonderful device. I have had an Omron blood pressure monitor for years and it worked very well. This is a newer model and it is perfect and I am confident that it will last for years. The memory system is ideal. Beware that this monitor does not come with a plug-in cable and unless you buy one, you will have to use batteries. Fortunately, I have the cable from my previous monitor and that works just fine. However, if only being able to use batteries is OK with you, don't worry about the cable. I just prefer having the ability to use both options.
Bought it for my parents, they like it August 26, 2008
Very easy to use. SO far it has been very accurate. My parents found it easy to read the literature and start using it.
Couldn't have asked for anything more.
