INDEX
Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A
cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the
correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading
that is higher than the correct blood pressure. With your arm
hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of
your upper arm at the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow.
**The EasyCuff feature is a semi-hard shell cuff which provides easy placement
on your upper arm. The UA-787 comes with the EasyCuff feature. If arm circum-
ference is greater than 14.2”(36 cm) or smaller than 7.5”(19 cm), you will need
to purchase the proper size cuff to ensure correct measurement. If this is the case,
please call A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada - 1-800-463-5414).
Cuff Size Indicator On The Cuff
Our cuff has an indicator which tells you whether you are using the
correct cuff or not. Place the cuff on your arm (see Pg. E-6 to learn
how to put the cuff on correctly) and if the Index Mark ▲ points
within the Proper Fit Range, you are using the correct cuff. If the
Index points outside of the Proper Fit Range, contact A&D Medical
at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada - 1-800-463-5414) for a cuff
replacement.

You must install 4 type “AA” (1.5 volt) batteries, or use the AC
adapter (see Pg. E-10 for Using the Monitor with AC Adapter),
and attach the cuff to the monitor before using. To install batteries
(or replace them if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on display),
proceed as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment cover by gently pushing down
on arrow and sliding cover down.
2. Put in top row of batteries first. Place
batteries in the compartment with
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
matching those indicated in the
compartment. Make sure the batteries
make contact with the compartment
terminals.
3. Replace cover by sliding it into the compartment and gently
pressing down.

blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and
digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is
based on the “oscillometric method”—a non-invasive blood
pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to the
measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor
examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it
expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.
The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation
speed is maximized and the pressure level is optimized by the
device. The monitor takes measurements while the cuff is both
inflating and deflating. This results in a faster measurement
providing greater comfort to the user.
