English 6
Using The Monitor
Attaching The Arm Cuff
1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm,
about 2 - 3 cm above the elbow, as
shown. Place the cuff directly against
the skin, as clothing may cause a faint
pulse and result in a measurement
error.
2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused
by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent
accurate readings.
3. Confirm that the index points within
the proper fit range.
How To Take Proper Measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure
measurement:
Sit comfortably at a table.
Rest your arm on the table.
Relax for about five to ten minutes
before measurement.
Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or
thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.

A pressure bar indicator and the current
pressure are displayed.
Stop squeezing the rubber bulb when the
mark disappears.
Note: If you want to stop inflation at any time,
stop squeezing the rubber bulb and
press the exhaust valve button to expel
the air from the cuff.
4. When inflation is complete, deflation starts
automatically and the buzzer sounds and
the (heart mark) blinks, indicating that
the measurement is in progress. Once the
pulse is detected, the mark flashes and
the buzzer sounds with each pulse beat.
5. When the measurement is complete,
the buzzer sounds and the mark is
displayed. The systolic and diastolic
pressure readings and pulse rate are
displayed and stored.
6. Press the exhaust valve button to
completely release air from the cuff.
When a measurement is made with
insufficient pressure, the mark will
be displayed. Re-pressurize the cuff.
Stop squeezing the rubber bulb when

erratic pulse or in a very noisy
environment, will display.
7. Turning the power off
Press the
START button to turn the power off.
The device will be in standby mode.
8. Subsequent measurements
If a subsequent measurement is required, turn off the power and turn it on
again. When "0 " is displayed, the device is ready for another measurement.
Note: Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same
person.
9. Automatic power-off function
If the device is left on after a measurement, it will turn off automatically
after about one minute. It may be turned off at any time by pressing the
START button.
Notes For Proper Measurement
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the
measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be
at the same height as your heart.
Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are
excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this
stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the
pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
Your blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are doing and
what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect
on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty 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 page 4 for the
descriptions of the symbols.
This blood pressure device is intended for use by adults only. Consult with
your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use this
device unattended.

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat?
Model UA-705 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 are
relaxed, remain still and do not talk during measurements.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this indicator frequently.
About Blood Pressure
What Is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.
Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs
when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury
(mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental
pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one is still at rest
nd before eating.
What Is Hypertension And How Is It Controlled?
Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended, can
cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack. Hypertension
can be controlled by altering one's lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with medication
under a doctor’s supervision. To prevent hypertension or to keep it under
control:
Do not smoke Exercise regularly
Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups
Maintain proper weight
Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home?
Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension
and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that
measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside
influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's readings and
provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.
WHO Blood Pressure
Classification
Standards to assess high blood
pressure, without regard to age,
have been established by the
World Health Organization
(WHO), as shown in the chart on
the right.

Blood Pressure Variations
An individual’s blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis. It
may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In
hypertensive individual variations are even more pronounced. Normally, the
blood pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels during
sleep. So, do not be overly concerned
by the results of one measurement.
Take measurements at the same time
every day using the procedure
described in this manual to get to
know your normal blood pressure.
Regular readings give a more
comprehensive blood pressure history.
Be sure to note date and time when
recording your blood pressure.
Consult your doctor to interpret your
blood pressure data.
