1. Dear Customers
Congratulations on purchasing a state-of-the-art A&D sphygmomanometer,
one of the most advanced monitors available on the market today.
Designed for ease of use and accuracy, this monitor will facilitate your daily
blood pressure regimen. We recommend that you read through this
manual carefully before using this device for the first time.
Applicable Patient: This sphygmomanometer is designed for use on
adults only.
Environment for use: The device is for indoor use.
Features
Measurement
This sphygmomanometer is designed to monitor and display the cuff
pressure during cuff inflation and deflation while the healthcare provider
determines the patient’s blood pressure level by listening for Korotkoff
sounds with a stethoscope.
Easy to Use
This sphygmomanometer measures the pulse rate of a patient while the
cuff is deflating during blood pressure measurement, and indicates the
pulse rate on the LCD display.
Safety
This sphygmomanometer was designed to measure a patient’s blood
pressure without the use of mercury, therefore protecting your local
environment.
An automatic quick exhaust valve is installed in the device to prevent over
pressurization of 320mmHg or higher, therefore protecting the patient.

6. Using the Monitor
Installing / Changing the Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Insert a new set of batteries into the battery
compartment as shown. Make sure the polarities
(+) and (-) are correct. Use only LR6, AA or
equivalent batteries.
3. Close the battery cover.
CAUTION
Insert the batteries in the battery compartment.
If not, the device will not work.
When (LOW BATTERY mark) blinks in the LCD 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.
Battery life varies with the ambient temperature and may be shorter at low
temperatures.
Use the specified batteries only. The batteries provided with the device are for
testing monitor performance and may have a limited life.
Remove the batteries if the device will not be in use for a prolonged period of
time as the batteries may leak and cause a device malfunction.
Connecting the Air Tube
Insert the air tube into the cuff connector firmly.
Selecting the Proper Cuff
Using the correct cuff size is important for accurate readings. If the cuff is not
the proper size, the reading may yield an incorrect blood pressure value.
The INDEX and RANGE marking on the cuff will indicate that you are using
the proper cuff or not. (Refer to "Attaching the Arm Cuff" in next section)
Arm Size Recommended Cuff Size Order No.
33 cm to 45 cm Large cuff AX-UM-101-03
23 cm to 33 cm Medium cuff AX-UM-101-01
17 cm to 25 cm Small cuff AX-UM-101-02
Arm size: The circumference at the biceps

English 9
Attaching the Arm Cuff
1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about
2 ~ 3 cm above the elbow as shown on
right. Place the cuff directly against the skin,
as clothing may cause a faint pulse and
could result in a measurement error.
2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by
rolling up a shirtsleeve, may interfere with
accurate readings.
3. Make sure that the index points are within
the range.
4. Attach a stethoscope on the arm with
accessory band.
7. Measurements
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
Keep the patient still during measurement.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
When the ON/OFF button is pressed, all of the
display symbols will appear for about one second.
When starts flashing, the device is ready for
measurement. If air is remaining in the cuff when the
ON/OFF button is pressed, the display will indicate an error code .
Switch off the device (press the ON/OFF button again) and turn the
exhaust valve counterclockwise once to expel all the air in the cuff. Then
press the ON/OFF button again to reactivate the device.
3. Place the stethoscope on the humerus artery and pressurize the cuff by
squeezing the rubber bulb. (Make sure the exhaust valve is completely
closed.)
While the cuff is inflating, the pressure bar will move and in turn the LCD
will display a number indicating the pressure.
Inflate the cuff to 30 to 40 mmHg higher than the patient’s expected
systolic value.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press either the ON/OFF button
or turn the screw of the exhaust valve to release the air.

4. When inflation is complete.
Turn the exhaust valve screw to release air slowly.
Measure the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure by stethoscopy.
5. The pulse rate is shown on the numerical display when the measurement is
complete, and meets the following conditions.
When you pressurize 80mmHg or higher for the measurement.
When the pressure drops to 20mmHg or lower.
6. Turn the exhaust valve screw counterclockwise to
release all the air from the cuff.
If a measurement is taken with insufficient pressure,
the mark will be displayed. Re-pressurize the
cuff to a pressure that is about 30 to 40 mmHg higher
than the previous attempt.
An error message will be displayed if a
measurement is taken with insufficient pulses or in a
very noisy environment.
7. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn off the power.
Note: Model UM-101 has an automatic power-off function.
8. Useful Features
Measurement with MARKER Button
You can put a marker at a certain pressure value
when the MARKER button is pressed during the
measurement process. Up to 5 markings can be
shown over the range of 40mmHg.
Lifetime Counter
When the MARKER button is pressed while the device
is off, the lifetime counter is displayed.
This counter function indicates the hours the device was
in use and helps to determine when maintenance is
necessary. High digits and Low digits are alternatively
displayed. The example indicates that the device has
been in use for 1,278 hours.

9. Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Reason Recommended Action
Batteries are empty. Replace all batteries with new ones.Nothing
appears in the
display, even
when the power
is turned on.
Battery polarities
are not in the
correct position.
Reinstall the batteries with their
negative and positive ends matching
those indicated in the battery
compartment.
The cuff is not
fastened properly. Fasten the cuff correctly.
Patient moved thier
arm or body during
the measurement.
Make sure the patient remains very
still during the measurement.
The cuff position is
not correct.
Have the patient sit comfortably still.
Ensure that the cuff is at the same
level as the heart.
If the patient has a very weak or
irregular heart beat, the device may
have difficulty in determining thier
blood pressure.
The unit does
not take a
measurement.
Readings are
too high or too
low.
Remove the batteries. Reinstall them
properly and try the measurement
again.
Note: If the recommendations above do not solve the problem, contact
your nearest authorized A&D representative. Do not attempt to open
or repair this product by yourself, as any attempt to do so will render
your warranty invalid.
10. Maintenance
Do not attempt to open the device as the delicate electrical components and
intricate air unit inside could be damaged. If you cannot solve the problem
using our troubleshooting guide, request assistance from your authorized
dealer or from any A&D service group.
The device was designed and manufactured for a long service life. However it
is generally recommended to have the monitor inspected every 2 years, to
ensure proper functioning and accuracy. Please contact either your authorized
dealer or A&D for maintenance.
