?HOW UA-705 WORKS
LifeSource® blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.
The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation speed is maximized and the pressure level is optimized by the device. The monitor takes measurements while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in a faster measurement providing greater comfort to the user.
BEFORE YOU START
You must install 1 type AA (1.5 volt) battery and attach the cuff to the monitor before using it (alkaline batteries recommended). To install battery (or replace it if the "Low Battery" symbol appears on display), proceed as follows:
1.Remove battery cover by gently pushing down on handle and pulling cover off monitor.
Step 3
2. Place the battery in compartment with positive (+) and negative (–) terminals matching those indicated in the compartment. Be sure battery makes contact with compartment terminals.
3.Replace cover by sliding it into the compartment and gently pressing into place.
NOTE: Rechargeable batteries will not work with this monitor.
