Dear Customers
Congratulations on purchasing a state-of-the-art LifeSource by A&D Medical blood pressure monitor, one of the most
advanced monitors available today. Designed for ease of use and accuracy, this device will facilitate your daily blood
pressure regimen. We recommend that you read through this manual carefully before using the device for the rst time.
Preliminary Remarks
qThe device is designed for use on adults, not newborns or infants.
qEnvironment for use. The device is for use to operate by yourself in the home healthcare environment.
qThis device is designed to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of people for diagnosis.
Precautions
qPrecision components are used in the construction of this device. Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight,
shock or dust should be avoided.
qClean the device with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol,
benzene, thinner or other harsh chemicals to clean the device.
qAvoid tightly folding the cuff for long periods, as such treatment may shorten the life of the components.
qThe device is not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and water from soiling the device.
qMeasurements may be distorted if the device is used close to televisions, microwave ovens, cellular telephones,
X-ray or other devices with strong electrical elds.
qUsed equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as ordinary household waste, and must be disposed of according
to the applicable local regulations.
qWhen reusing the device, conrm that the device is clean.

qDo not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to the device.
qTo measure blood pressure, the wrist must be squeezed by the cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood ow
through the artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary red mark to the wrist. This condition will appear
especially when measurement is repeated successively. Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.
qWireless communication device, such as home networking devices, mobile phones, cordless phones and their base
stations, walkie-talkies can affect this blood pressure monitor. Therefore, a minimum distance of 30 cm should be
kept from such devices.
qMeasuring blood pressure too frequently may cause harm due to blood ow interference. Check that the operation of
the device does not result in prolonged impairment of blood circulation, when using the device repeatedly.
qClinical testing has not been conducted on newborn infants and pregnant woman. Do not use on newborn infants or
pregnant woman.
qIf you have had a mastectomy, please consult a doctor before using the device.
qDo not let children use the device by themselves and do not use the device in a place within the reach of infants. It
may cause accidents or damage.
qThere are small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by mistake by infants.
qDo not touch the batteries and the patient at the same time. That may result in electrical shock.
qIn the case of single components failure enclosure of near cuff may become hot and potentially cause malfunction.
qUse of accessories not detailed in this manual may compromise safety.
qShould the battery short-circuit, it may become hot and potentially cause burns.
qAllow the device to adapt to the surrounding environment before use (about one hour).
Precautions

qDo not inate without wrapping the cuff around your wrist.
qDo not apply the device to a wrist with other medical electrical equipment attached. The equipment may not function
properly.
qPeople who have a severe circulatory decit in the arm must consult a doctor before using the device to avoid
medical problems.
qDo not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment by yourself. Always consult your doctor for
evaluation of the results and treatment.
qDo not apply the device on a wrist with an unhealed wound.
qDo not apply the device on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood transfusion. It may cause injury or
accidents.
qDo not use the device where ammable gases such as anesthetic gases are present. It may cause an explosion.
qDo not use the device in highly concentrated oxygen environments, such as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an
oxygen tent. It may cause a re or explosion.
Intended Use of Device:
qUB-525CN blood pressure monitor is designed to measure systolic, diastolic pressure and pulse rate of adults who
are twelve (12) years and older. It can detect irregular heartbeats and display a symbol on the display.

2. Remove the used batteries and insert new batteries into the battery
compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+ and -) are
correct. Use only LR03 or AAA batteries.
3. Attach the battery cover.
CAUTIONS
qInsert the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. If installed
incorrectly, the device will not work.
qWhen (LOW BATTERY mark) blinks on the display, replace all
batteries with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries. It may
shorten the battery life, or cause the device to malfunction.
q(LOW BATTERY mark) does not appear when the batteries are drained.
qThe battery life varies with the ambient temperature and may be shorter at low temperatures. Generally, two new
LR03/AAA batteries will last approximately for four months when used twice for measurement each day.
qUse the specied batteries only. The batteries provided with the device are for testing monitor performance and may
have a limited life.
qRemove the batteries if the device is not to be used for a long period of time. The batteries may leak and cause a
