E-8In Canada - Auto Control Medical (Toll-Free): 1-800-461-0991HOW UA-1020 WORKSA&D blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display fullmeasurement readouts. Our technology is based on the "oscillometric method"– a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term "oscillation" refers toany measure of vibrations caused by the aterial pulse. Our monitor examinesthe pulsatile pressure generated by the aterial wall as it expands and contractsagainst the cuff with each heartbeat.The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation speed ismaximized and the pressure level is optimized by the device. The monitor takesmeasurements while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in afaster measurement providing greater comfort to the user.BEFORE YOU STARTYou 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 replacethem if the "Low Battery" symbol appears on display), proceed as follows:1. Remove battery compartment cover by gently pushing down on arrow andsliding cover forward.2. Put in bottom row of batteries first.Place the batteries in compartmentwith positive (+) and negative (–)terminals matching those indicated inthe compartment.
