Using The Monitor
Alarm ON/OFF Mark On The Display
When the alarm is on, a “p” appears on the LCD. To turn the alarm off, simply
press the CLOCK button once.
The alarm will sound for 1 minute. To stop the alarm sound, press the START
button once.
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.
How To Take Proper Measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table.
Relax 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 before taking
the measurement.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be
alarmed).
After Measurement
After measurement, press the START button to turn off the power. Remove
the cuff and record your data.
Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the
power off automatically one minute after measurement.

English 9
Measurements
Model UA-789XL is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the cuff to
a systolic pressure level automatically.
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, read
"Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure" on the next page.
Normal Measurement
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
Sit quietly during measurement.
2. Press the START button.
The average blood pressures and last data
number are displayed briefly. Then the
display changes, as indicated in the figure
at the right, as the measurement begins.
The cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the
cuff to feel very tight. A pressure bar
indicator is displayed, as in the figure at the
right, during inflation.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time,
press the START button again.
3. When inflation is complete, deflation starts
automatically and (heart mark) blinks,
indicating that the measurement is in
progress. Once the pulse is detected, the
mark blinks with each pulse beat.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not
obtained, the device starts to inflate
again automatically.
4. When the measurement is complete, the
systolic and diastolic pressure readings and
pulse rate are displayed. The cuff exhausts
the remaining air and deflates completely.
5. Press the START button again to turn off
the power.
Note: Model UA-789XL is provided with an automatic power shut-off
function.

Measurements
Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, use this
procedure.
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
2. Press and hold the START button until a
number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher
than your expected systolic pressure
appears.
3. Release the START button to start
measurement, when the desired number
is reached. Then continue to measure
your blood pressure as described on the
previous page.
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.
An individual'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 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
description of symbols.
This 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.

Recalling Memory Data
Note: This device stores the last sixty measurements in memory
automatically. The data is retained as long as the batteries
are in the device. When you remove the batteries or the
batteries are drained, the data will be erased.
1. Press the MEMORY button.
2. The date and the most recent data are
displayed.
3. When the MEMORY button is pressed while
data is displayed, the previous data is
displayed.
4. After the last data is displayed, the display
goes blank.
5. Press and hold the MEMORY button until
the “ ” (memory) mark blinks to clear the
stored data.
Note: Pressing the START button while the memory data is displayed,
the device starts.

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat
Model UA-789XL 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 be relaxed, remain still and do not talk during
measurements.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
indicator frequently.
Pressure Bar Indicator
The indicator monitors the progress of pressure during measurement.

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 and 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 lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with
medication under a doctor’s supervision.
To prevent hypertension or 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.
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
individuals, 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

English 14
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.
