Precaution
1. Precision components were used in the

or dust should be avoided.
2. Clean the device with a dry, soft cloth.
Never use thinner, alcohol, benzene, or wet
dusters.
3. Avoid tightly folding the cuff or storing the

Setting the Clock
The UA-767PC blood pressure monitor is equipped with a date and time function.
To set the clock on the monitor, follow these steps:
Press the clock button on the front of the monitor.
The blinking digits reflect the year. If they are not currently set on the correct year,
press the START button to advance to the correct year. The clock is set to show
years 1999 through 2098. If you pass the correct year, continue advancing the
clock until you have run through the cycle of years and are back at the correct
year.
Year
To set the month and day, press the clock button again.
The month numeral(s) will blink. Press the START button to advance the numbers
to the correct month. Press the clock button again to advance to the day setting.
When the numbers reflecting the day of the month blink, press the START button
to advance the numbers to the correct day.
Month/Day
When you press the clock button again, the display will change and the time will
be shown in the same format as a digital clock, with the hour numerals blinking.
To set the correct hour, press the START button to advance the numbers to the
correct hour. To set the minutes, press the clock button again. The minute setting
will blink. Press the START button to advance the minutes until you reach the
correct setting. Press the clock again. The hour and minute display appears. This
is the standby mode.

Preparation for Measurements
1. Installing / Changing the Batteries
Remove the battery cover and insert
new batteries into the battery
compartment as shown, taking care to
observe the proper direction for each
battery. Use R6P, LR6 or similar type
batteries.
If the symbol appears on the display panel, this means that the batteries
are depleted. Always change all batteries at the same time. If you do not
intend to use the device for longer periods, remove the batteries. Only use
high quality, leakproof batteries with the specified ratings. Never mix new and
old batteries or batteries from different manufactures.
Note:Used equipment, parts, batteries do not fall within the category
of household waste, and must be disposed of according to the
applicable regulations.
2. Connecting the Air Hose
Insert the air connector plug into the air socket firmly.
3. Attaching the Arm Cuff
Wrap the cuff around the upper arm
about 2-3 cm (1 inch) above the elbow
as shown. Place the cuff directly against
the skin, as clothing may cause a faint
heart beat, and result in an error.
Constriction of the upper arm caused by
rolling up a shirt sleeve may prevent
accurate readings.
Left arm
Hose
2-3 cm (1 inch)
4. Posture While Measuring
Remain seated in a comfortable position,
placing the center of the upper arm at the
same height as your heart.
Excessive
constriction
5. Measurement
During the measurement, the cuff will
become very tight. Do not be alarmed as this is normal.
6. After the Measurement
After the measurement, remove the cuff and record your data.

Measurements
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
2. Set the PRESSURE switch to a value that will be 30 to 40 mmHg above the
expected systolic value and press the START button.
• When the START button is pressed, all of the display symbols will appear
for about one second.
• When the "0" is blinking, the device is calibrating its zero point. If there is
still some air in the arm cuff, it will be exhausted at this time.
• The micro pump will pressurize the cuff.
Note: The cuff will become very tight. Do not be alarmed, as this is
normal.
• If the START button or clock button is pressed again during
pressurization or during the measurement, the pump will stop and the air
will be released from the cuff.
3. When pressurization has completed, the automatic exhaust mechanism will
gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff and the Measurement in Progress
symbol will appear along with the current pressure reading. This symbol will
flash in unison with the pulse of the person being monitored.

Measurement in
Progress

Measurements
• Remain still while the device is in operation.
• When a measurement is made with insufficient pressure, the device will
pump again to a higher pressure.
4. When measurement has completed, the buzzer sounds and the air is
automatically released from the cuff. The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure
readings, and the pulse rate are displayed.
5. Turning the Power OFF
Press the START button to turn the power off. The device will be in standby
mode.
6. Subsequent Measurements
If a subsequent measurement is required, turn off the power and turn it on
again. When the "0" is displayed, the device is ready for measurement again.
Note:Please wait for about 10 minutes before repeating the
measurement.
7. Automatic Power OFF Function
If this device is left on after a measurement, it will turn itself off after about 1
minute. It may be turned off at any time by pressing the START button.
8

Measurements
• Accurate measurement cannot be made if the exhaust velocity is outside
the range of 2 to 5 mmHg. This can be determined by watching the
display each time the "Measurement in Progress" symbol blinks. Note the
reading as the "Measurement in Progress" symbol blinks.

Notes for Proper Measurements
1. Sit in a comfortable position where you can place the arm to be used for the
measurement on a table or other support that will place the center of the
upper arm at about the same height as your heart.
2. Relax for about 5 or 10 minutes before starting the 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, the pulse
reading will usually be faster than normal.
3. A normal person's 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 affect on your blood pressure.
4. As this device basses its measurements on the heart beat, if you have a very
weak or irregular heart beat, the device may have difficulty determining your
proper blood pressure.
5. Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error. See the section on description of display
symbols for details.
6. 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.

Data in Memory
Storing Data in Memory
This device stores up to 126 sets of measurement data in memory automatically.
If an error message appears, the measurement data will not be stored.
Whether the data will be stored or not after the measurement can be selected as
follows:
• When the START button is pressed or the automatic power OFF function
works after a measurement, the measurement data will be stored in
memory.
• When the clock button is pressed after a measurement, the measurement
data will not be stored in memory.
Recalling Memory Data
To access measurements stored in memory, wait until the monitor is in standby
mode. Then, press and hold the START button until the display shows the most
recent measurement.
The display will show all of the stored measurements starting with the most recent
and then will return to standby mode.
To interrupt memory display, press the START button to initiate inflation mode. To
put the monitor in standby mode, press the START button again.
Erasing Data in Memory
To erase measurements stored in memory, wait until the monitor is in standby
mode. Then, press and hold the clock button until the buzzer sounds and the
memory access indicator blinks. All data in memory will be erased.
