Battery life varies with the ambient temperature and may be shorter at low

temperatures.

Use the specified batteries only. The batteries provided with the device are for

testing monitor performance and may have a limited life.

Remove the batteries if the device is not to be used for a long time.

The batteries may leak and cause a malfunction.

Stored data are cleared when the batteries are removed.

Selecting The Correct Cuff

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. If the cuff is not

the proper size, the reading may yield an incorrect blood pressure value.

The index and proper fit range, on the cuff, tell you if you are attaching the

correct cuff. (Refer to "Attaching The Arm Cuff" on next page)

If the index points outside of the range, contact your local dealer for replacement.

Using the Monitor

Attaching The Arm Cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm,
about 2 - 3 cm above the elbow, as
shown. Place the cuff directly against
the skin, as clothing may cause a faint
pulse and result in a measurement
error.

2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused
by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent
accurate readings.

3. Confirm that the index points within
the proper fit range.

How To Take Proper Measurement s

For the most accurate blood pressure

measurement:

Sit comfortably around the table.

Rest your arm on the table.

Relax for about five to ten minutes

before measurement.

Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or

thirty minutes before taking the measurement.

Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.

Measurement

During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be

alarmed)

After Measurement

After measurement, press the START button to turn off the power.

Remove the cuff and record your data.

Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the

power off approximately one minute after measurement.

Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person.

Measurements

Model UA-767 30 is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the

cuff to a systolic pressure level automatically.

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg or you use the

optional small cuff, read "Measurement With The Desired Systolic
Pressure" on next page.

Normal Measurement

1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).

Sit quietly during measurement.

2. Press the START button.

The average blood pressures and last data

number are displayed briefly. Then the
display changes, as indicated in the figure
at the right, as the measurement begins.
The cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the
cuff to feel very tight. A pressure bar
indicator is displayed, as in the figure at
the right, during inflation.

Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time,

press the

START button again.

3. When inflation is complete, deflation starts

automatically and the

(heart mark)
blinks, indicating that the measurement is
in progress. Once the pulse is detected,
the mark flashes with each pulse beat.

Note: If an appropriate pressure is not

obtained, the device starts to inflate
again automatically.

4. When the measurement is complete, the
systolic and diastolic pressure readings and
pulse rate are displayed. The cuff exhausts
the remaining air and deflates completely.

5. Press the START button again to turn
off the power.

Note: Model UA-767 30 is provided with an automatic power

shut-off function. Allow at least ten minutes between
measurements on the same person.

Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg or you use the

optional small cuff, use this procedure.

1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).

2. Press and hold the START button
until a number about 30 to 40 mmHg
higher than your expected systolic

pressure appears.

3. Release the START button to start
measurement, when the desired
number is reached. Then continue to

Refer to the previous page

measure your blood pressure as
described on the previous page.

for measurement

Notes For Proper Measurement

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the

measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff
will be at the same height as your heart.

Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you

are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will
reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure
reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.

An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you

are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.

This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very

weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.

Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the

measurement and display an error symbol. See page 4 for the
description of symbols.

This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult

with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not
use this device unattended.

English 9

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat

Model UA-767 30 blood pressure monitor provides a blood

pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat
occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by
25% from the average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure
measurement. It is important that you be relaxed, remain still and do not
talk during measurements.

Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this

indicator frequently.

About Blood Pressure

What Is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.

Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs
when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of
mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the
fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one
is still at rest and before eating.

What Is Hypertension And How Is It Controlled?

Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended,

can cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack.
Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with
medication under a doctor’s supervision.

To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:

Do not smoke Exercise regularly
Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups
Maintain proper weight

Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home?

Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause

apprehension and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher
than that measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of
outside influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's
readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.

WHO Blood Pressure Classification

Standards to assess high

blood pressure, without
regard to age, have been
established by the World
Health Organization (WHO),
as shown in the chart .

Blood Pressure Variations

An individual’s blood pressure

varies greatly on a daily and
seasonal basis. It may vary by
30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In hypertensive
individuals’ variations are even more pronounced. Normally, the blood
pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep.
So, do not be overly concerned by the results of one measurement.

Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure

English 11

described in this manual to get to know
your normal blood pressure. Regular
readings give a more comprehensive blood
pressure history. Be sure to note date and
time when recording your blood pressure.
Consult your doctor to interpret your blood
pressure data.

Note: If the actions described above do not solve the problem, contact the

dealer. Do not attempt to open or repair this product, as any attempt to
do so will make your warranty invalid.

Maintenance

Do not open the device. It uses delicate electrical components and an

intricate air unit that could be damaged. If you cannot fix the problem
using the troubleshooting instructions, request service from your dealer
or from the A&D service group. The A&D service group will provide
technical information, spare parts and units to authorized dealers.

The device was designed and manufactured for a long service life.

However it is generally recommended to have the monitor inspected
every 2 years, to ensure proper functioning and accuracy. Please contact
either your authorized dealer or A&D for maintenance.
