TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
When the correct pressurization has been reached, the

automatic exhaust mechanism will gradually reduce the
pressure in the cuff. Sit quietly during measurement.
The
symbol will blink with your pulse beat.

NOTE: Exhaust rate cannot be adjusted during measurement. If you
wish to stop inflation at any time, press the exhaust valve to release
the pressure in the cuff.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
12.
Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure
and pulse rate on the chart (see page E-13), indicating
date and time of measurement. Additional logbook
charts can be downloaded and printed for free at
www.lifesourceonline.com or www.autocontrol.com.
We advise that you record the date and time after each
measurement because an accurate blood pressure history
relies not on single or sporadic readings but on a pattern
over time.
NOTE: Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the
same person.
WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?
The UA-704 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 heartbeat
intervals during the blood pressure measurement. It is
important that you relax, remain still and refrain from talking
during measurements.
NOTE: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
symbol frequently.
