TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

The UA-774 has several modes available to fit your blood pressure monitoring needs.

Recalling Previous Measurements

To recall previous measurements in memory, press and hold the START 1 or START 2 button. Release the button after you see the first reading recalled from memory. The previous measurements are displayed from most recent to oldest.

Clearing Memory

Remove batteries to clear memory. Insert batteries again to resume blood pressure measurements.

Taking a Measurement without Reading Stored in Memory (Guest Mode)

This mode can be used when there is a third person taking measurements or storing readings in memory is not desired. Press both the START 1 and START 2 buttons at the same time. A reading will be taken, but not stored into memory.

☞Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.

☞Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:

1.Sit comfortably with your left arm resting

on a flat surface so that the center of your upper arm is at the same height as your heart.

2.Lay left arm on the table, palm up and

thread cuff end through metal loop, smooth side against arm. Then position the tube off-center toward the inner side of arm in line with the little finger.

3.Pull the end of the cuff to tighten it, fold

back the extra material, and fasten securely. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.

☞ IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day.

4.Designate yourself as User 1 or User 2. To keep track of your previous blood pressure measurements accurately, User 1 should use the START 1 button and User 2 should use the START 2 button.

5. Press the START 1 or START 2 button. Your average blood pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements stored in memory flashing three times. As the cuff pressurizes, the Pressure Indicator will show on the display screen. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
