TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Measurement with the desired systolic pressure:

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg follow these steps:

1.Place the cuff on the left arm, unless your physician tells you otherwise.

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

3.Release the START button when the desired number is reached. Measurement will then begin. Continue to measure your blood pressure as described on Page E-6.

WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT

The UA-787 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 MEMORY

This device automatically stores up to thirty (30) blood pressure and pulse measurements in memory. Measurements stored in memory are assigned an index number in the order of the newest to the oldest. The oldest reading displays as “n01” .

To retrieve readings, follow these simple steps:

1.When the display screen is blank, press and quickly release the Memory (“M”) button. You will see the index number (e.g. n20) of the newest reading followed by the measurement. The UA-787 automatically turns off after several seconds.

2.If you want to retrieve other measurements in memory, press and quickly release the Memory (“M”) button repeatedly until the desired index number is reached (e.g. n14). The measurement will then be displayed.

To clear the measurement history from memory, press and hold the Memory (“M”) button for at least 3 seconds. You will see the M symbol appear in the lower left corner of the display. At the end of the process, the M symbol will flash and disappear.

If there are no measurements in memory, you will see the index number “n01” followed by a measurement of three 0's displayed vertically.

Note: Stored measurements will be lost if batteries become low or are removed.
