Quick Guide

The A&D UA-1020-W is a digital blood pressure monitor designed for home use. Before your first measurement, ensure you have installed the batteries, set the built-in clock, and selected the correct cuff size. Sit comfortably, relax for 5-10 minutes, and ensure the cuff is at heart level before starting the measurement.

Parts Identification

The device consists of the main monitor unit with a display, START button, SET button, and navigation buttons. The air socket connects to the air hose of the arm cuff. The display shows systolic/diastolic pressure, pulse rate, and various indicators like IHB/AFib, battery status, and WHO classification.

Setup

Installing Batteries: Remove the battery cover and insert 4x 1.5V (R6P, LR6, or AA) batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Replace all batteries when the low battery mark blinks.

Connecting the Air Hose: Firmly insert the air connector plug into the air socket on the side of the monitor.

Adjusting the Clock: Press the SET button until the year blinks. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the year, month, day, hour, and minute, pressing SET to confirm each step.

Applying the Cuff: Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, 1-2 cm above the elbow. Ensure the index mark points within the proper fit range printed on the cuff.

Measurement

Normal Measurement: Press the START button. The device will automatically inflate and measure. Remain still and quiet during the process. Once complete, the cuff will deflate, and results will be displayed.

TriCheck Mode: This mode takes three consecutive measurements automatically and displays the average. Enable this in the settings menu.

Measurement with SET Pressure: If re-inflation occurs, you can set a fixed pressure value (180, 210, or 240 mmHg) in the settings menu to avoid automatic re-inflation.

Troubleshooting

If the device does not function correctly, check the following:

Nothing appears on display: Check if batteries are drained or installed incorrectly.
Cuff does not inflate: Replace batteries if the low battery mark is blinking.
Device does not measure: Ensure you remain still and quiet; check that the cuff is applied correctly and at heart level.
Err/Err 9: For internal errors, remove batteries, press START, and re-install batteries. Contact the dealer if the error persists.

Maintenance

Do not open the device. Clean the monitor and cuff with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, or thinner. It is recommended to have the device inspected every 2 years for accuracy.

Technical Data

The device uses the oscillometric measurement method. It has a memory capacity of 90 measurements. Operating conditions are +10 to +40 °C and 15 to 85 %RH.
