Operation Mode 1. Normal Measurement Press the START button. Blood pressure is measured and data is stored within the device. The device can store the last 120 sets of data in memory for each user. 2. Recalling The Data Press the MEMORY button to recall the data. The average data of all the measurements is displayed, as indicated in the figure at the right. Press the AM/PM button to recall the average data during the AM or PM. Press the button to display each measurement.
Using The Monitor Installing / Changing The Batteries 1. Slide the battery cover to open it. 2. Remove the used batteries and insert new batteries into the battery compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+) and (-) are correct. 3. Slide the battery cover to close it. Use only R6P, LR6 or AA batteries. Step 2 Step 1 Step 3 CAUTION Insert the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. If installed incorrectly, the device will not work.
Using The Monitor Press and hold Adjusting The Built-in Clock Adjust the clock prior to use as necessary. 1. Press and hold the Clock button until the year starts blinking. 2.

Select the month using the button. Press the Clock button to set the current month and move to day selection. Day 4.
Using The Monitor Alarm ON/OFF Mark On The Display When the alarm is on, a “ ” 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 any button once. Selecting The Correct Cuff Size Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. If the cuff is not the proper size, the reading may yield an incorrect blood pressure value. The arm size is printed on each cuff. The arm cuff is a consumable.
Using The Monitor How To Take Proper Measurements For the most accurate blood pressure measurement: Sit comfortably on a chair. Rest your arm on the table. Do not cross your legs. Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back. Relax for about five to ten minutes 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 immediately after physical exercise or a bath.
Measurements Model UA-855 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. Set the User selection switch to either User 1 or User 2. 2. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm). Sit quietly during measurement. 3. Press the START button.
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). At heart level 2. Press and hold the START button until a Press and hold number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure Release the button appears. at the desired 3. Release the START button to start measurement, when the desired number is reached.
Recalling Memory Data Note: This device stores the last 120 measurements in memory for each user. 1. Press the MEMORY button. Press the MEMORY button 2. The average data of all the measurements and the number of data are displayed. Then, each time the button is pressed, the memory data is displayed from the most recent. After the last data is displayed, the display returns to the clock display. 3.
Recalling Memory Data For details on memory data recalling procedure, refer to the chart below. Clearing The Memory Data In the clock display, press and hold the MEMORY button until the “ (memory) mark blinks to clear the stored data.
Displaying Histogram Data A histogram is a graph showing the frequencies of the systolic values or diastolic values as appear in the WHO classification. What data is to be displayed in the histogram is selected below. What Data Can Be Displayed In The Histogram ALL 1wk 1mon. ALL/AM ALL/PM 1wk/AM 1wk/PM 1mon./AM 1mon./PM All the data in memory All the data for last 7 days All the data back to the same date of the previous month (if the date does not exist, one day before the date).
Displaying Histogram Data Press the Graph button Displaying The Histogram 1. Press the Graph button. 2. The histogram and the average data of all the measurements are displayed. Then, each time the button is pressed, the Y-axis switches between SYS (systolic blood pressure) and DIA (diastolic blood pressure). 3. When the histogram data of all the measurements is displayed, press the AM/PM button to display the histogram and the average data of the measurements taken during the AM.
What Is An Irregular Heartbeat Model UA-855 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.
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.
Troubleshooting Problem Nothing appears on the display, even when the power is turned on. The cuff does not inflate. Possible Reason Batteries are drained.
