HOW UA-1020 WORKS
A&D blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full
measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the "oscillometric method"
– a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term "oscillation" refers to
any measure of vibrations caused by the aterial pulse. Our monitor examines
the pulsatile pressure generated by the aterial 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.
BEFORE YOU START
You must install 4 type A (1.5 volt) batteries (alkaline batteries recommended),
or use the AC Adapter (see page E-19 for using the Monitor with AC Adapter)
and attach the cuff to the monitor before using it. 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 forward.
2. Put in bottom row of batteries first.
Place the batteries in compartment
with positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals matching those indicated in
the compartment. Be sure batteries make
contact with compartment terminals.
3. Replace cover by sliding it into the
compartment and gently pressing into
place.
NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended
for use with this monitor.
NOTE: Please dispose of batteries following local
regulations.
