When the monitor is turned on, the average blood pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements stored in memory flashing three times. The START 1 button will provide the average reading for User 1 and the START 2 button will provide the average reading for User 2. AVERAGE NUMBER OF MEASUREMENTS STORED IN MEMORY ABOUT MEMORY The memory function on the UA-774 blood pressure monitor is designed for two people. For each START button, the monitor can store up to 30 readings in memory. To keep track of previous measurements accurately, we recommend that you use the same START button each time you take a blood pressure reading. To recall previous measurements in memory, press and hold the START 1 or START 2 button. Your average blood pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements taken flashing three times. Release the button after the display switches to the memory index number (see illustration on right). The previous measurements are displayed from most recent to oldest. When viewing previous measurements, you will see the "M" symbol appear on the upper left corner of this display. You can stop measurements by pressing either START button again. NOTE: Memory will be lost if batteries become low or are removed.

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. The Pressure Indicator is located on the left side of the display screen to tell you when the blood pressure monitor is inflating and deflating the cuff. The indicator consists of a scale with six levels. The Pressure Indicator moves up during inflation and moves down during deflation.

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). What Affects Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season. Certain activities can significantly alter blood pressure. Walking can raise systolic pressure by 12 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 5.5 mmHg. Sleeping can decrease systolic blood pressure BP Classification Normal Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg) <120 and <80 Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89 Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99 Stage 2 Hypertension .160 or .100 SOURCE: The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure.
