GREETINGS
This A&D blood pressure monitor is one of the most
technologoically advanced monitors available and is
designed for ease of use and accuracy. This device will help
facilitate your daily blood pressure regimen.
We recommend that you read through this manual carefully
before using the device for the rst time.
The Bluetooth®word mark and logos are registered
trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of
such marks is under license. Other trademarks and trade
names are those of their respective owners.
INTENDED USE
UA-1200BLE digital blood pressure monitor is designed for
adult at home or clinic use. It measures systolic, diastolic,
and pulse rate. UA-1200BLE uses the oscillometric method
to determine blood pressure. If the user has a massive body
movement or irregular heartbeats, a heart symbol will be
shown on the app display. At the end of the measurement,
the blood pressure results are compared with AHA
hypertension classication. The rating is also displayed.
UA-1200BLE has Bluetooth®low energy wireless (BLE)
communication capability with Smart devices. UA-1200BLE
ts arm size from 8.6-16.5” (22-42cm).

PRELIMINARY REMARKS
• This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and
contains the FCC ID VPYLBZY.
• This device is designed for use on adults, and is not
intended for infants and children.
• This device is designed for use in the home healthcare
environment to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of
people for diagnosis.
PRECAUTIONS
• Precision components are used in the construction of this
device. Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight,
shock or dust should be avoided.
• Clean the device and cu󰀨 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 or cu󰀨.
• The device and cu󰀨 are not water resistant. Prevent rain,
sweat and water from soiling the device and cu󰀨.
• Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close
to televisions, microwave ovens, X-ray or other devices
with strong electrical elds.
• When using the device, conrm that it is clean.
• Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated
as ordinary household waste, and must be disposed of
according to the applicable local regulations.
• Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or
damage to the device.

PRECAUTIONS
• To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by
the cu󰀨 hard enough to temporarily stop blood ow through
the artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary
red mark to the arm. This condition will appear especially
when measurement is repeated successively. Any pain,
numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.
• If you feel strong pain during the measurement, please
remove the cu󰀨.
• Measuring 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.
• Do not apply the cu󰀨 on an arm in which another medical
device is attached. The equipment may not function properly.
• People who have a severe circulatory decit in the arm
must consult a doctor before using the device, to avoid
medical problems.
• Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and
start treatment by yourself. Always consult your doctor for
evaluation of the results and treatment.
• Do not apply the cu󰀨 on an arm with an unhealed wound.
• Do not apply the cu󰀨 on an arm receiving an intravenous
drip or blood transfusion. It may cause injury.
• Do not use the device where ammable gases, such as
anesthetic gases, are present. It may cause an explosion.
• Do 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.

PRECAUTIONS
• This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operations.
• When the USB Cable is used, make sure that it can be
readily removed from the electrical outlet when necessary.
• Sometimes, the temperature of the cu󰀨 can reach 111°F
(44°C) in an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C). If you
feel the cu󰀨 is too hot, please remove the cu󰀨 immediately.
• Please do not simultaneously use HF surgical equipment.
• Clinical testing has not been conducted on pregnant
women.
• If you have had a mastectomy, please consult a doctor
before using the device.
• Do not let children use the device by themselves and do
not leave the device within the reach of children.
• There are small parts that my cause a choking hazard if
swallowed by mistake by infants.
• Do not touch the batteries and the patient at the same
time. That may result in electrical shock.
• Wireless communication devices, such as home
networking devices, mobile phones, cordless phones and
their base stations, and walkie-talkies can a󰀨ect this blood
pressure monitor. Therefore, a minimum distance of
12 in/30 cm should be kept from such devices.

USING THE MONITOR
Wireless Function
In the unlikely event that this monitor causes radio wave
interference to a different wireless station, change the
location where this monitor is used or stop use immediately.
Be sure to use in a location where visibility between the two
devices that you want to connect is good. The connection
distance is reduced by the structure of buildings or other
obstructions. In particular, connection may be impossible
when devices are used on either side of reinforced concrete.
Do not use the Bluetooth®connection in the range
of a wireless LAN or other wireless devices, near
devices that emit radio waves such as microwaves, or
in other locations where signal strength is weak. Doing
so may result in frequent loss of connection, very slow
communication speeds and errors.
 Using close to an IEEE802.11g/b/n wireless LAN device
may cause mutual interference to occur, which may result
in reduced communication speeds or which may prevent
connection. In this case, switch off the power supply to
the device that is not being used, or use the monitor in a
different location.
If the monitor does not connect normally when used near
a wireless station or broadcast station, use the monitor in
a different location.
A&D cannot accept liability for any damages incurred due
to impaired operation or data loss, etc. that occur through
the use of this product.
This product is not guaranteed to connect to all Bluetooth®
compatible devices.

USING THE MONITOR
Multiuser Pairing
The monitor can be registered for up to 6 users. Follow the
above instructions to pair the mobile device for each user.
New users can be added anytime. The user who has the
lowest frequency of measurement times will be cleared once
the device has reached the 6 user max.
Note: If a new user uses the same mobile device, then re-pairing is not required as
this is already complete.
CAUTION!
The communication distance between this monitor and the
receiver device is about 33 feet (10m). This distance can be
reduced by the conditions in the surrounding environment,
so be sure to check that the distance is short enough for a
connection to be made after measurement is complete.

Tips for a Good Measurement
• Sit comfortably on a chair with your feet on the oor and
your back straight. Do not cross your legs.
• Place your arm on a table with your palm facing upward
and the cu󰀨 at the same level as your heart.
• Relax for about ve to ten minutes before measurement.
• Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
• Do not smoke, exercise, or consume
anything for at least 30 minutes
beforehand.
• This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If
you have a very weak or irregular heartbeat, the device
may have di󰀩culty determining your blood pressure.
• Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it
will stop the measurement and display an error symbol.
Refer to the section “Symbols” for the description of the
symbols.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
every day.
• The automatic blood pressure monitor’s performance may
be a󰀨ected by excessive temperature or humidity,
or altitude.
