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 Measurements
For the most accurate blood
pressure measurement:
Sit comfortably at a table.
Rest your arm on the table.
Relax for about five to ten minutes
Index
and Proper fit range
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 BT 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 the 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 last data of systolic and diastolic
pressure and pulse rate 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 blinks 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 BT 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

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 8
What Is An Irregular Heartbeat
Model UA-767 BT 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.

How The Wireless Connection Works
At the end of the measurement, your blood pressure will be sent
automatically to your health monitoring device. You do not need to do anything. If the health monitoring device is not working or is not within range of the blood pressure monitor, the blood pressure will be stored in the blood pressure monitor's memory (up to 40 sets).

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

The cuff position is not correct.
The value is different from that measured at a clinic or doctor’s office.
Reinstall the batteries with negative and positive terminals matching those indicated on the battery compartment.
Replace all batteries with new ones.
Fasten the cuff correctly. Make sure you remain very still
and quiet during the measurement. Sit comfortably and still. Raise your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. If you have a very weak or irregular heat beat, the device may have difficulty in determining your blood pressure.
See “Why measure blood pressure at home”.
Remove the batteries. Place them back properly and try the measurement again.

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.
