Measurements 

Model UA-853 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 or you use the optional 

small cuff, read "Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure" on the next page. 

Normal Measurement 

1.  Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm). 

Sit quietly during measurement. 

2. Press 

the 

START

 button. 

0 (zero) is displayed blinking briefly. Then 

the display changes, as indicated in the 

figure at the right, as the measurement 

begins. The cuff starts to inflate. It is 

normal for the cuff to feel very tight. A 

pressure bar indicator is displayed, as in 

the figure at the right, during inflation. 

Note:  If you wish to stop inflation at any time, 

press the 

START

 button again.   

3.  When inflation is complete, deflation starts 

automatically and 

 (heart mark) blinks, 

indicating that the measurement is in 

progress. Once the pulse is detected, the 

mark blinks with each pulse beat. 

Note: If an appropriate pressure is not 

obtained, the device starts to inflate 

again automatically. 

4.   When the measurement is complete, the 

systolic and diastolic pressure readings and 

pulse rate are displayed. The cuff exhausts 

the remaining air and deflates completely. 

5. Press 

the 

START

 button again to turn off the power. 

Note: Model UA-853 is provided with an automatic power shut-off 

function. The clock display remains on the LCD. Allow at least ten 

minutes between measurements on the same person. 

If you don’t want to have your data in memory 

Press the MEMORY button after measurement. The data will not be 

stored in memory.
