Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this device using rechargeable batteries.
Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.
Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the
device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a
result of low use of the device, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the device for a week or more.
Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.
7. Using a Mains adapter
You can operate this device using the
aponorm
®
by microlife
mains adapter (DC 6V, 600mA).
Only use the
aponorm
®
by microlife mains adapter
available as an original accessory appropriate for your
supply voltage.
Ensure that neither the mains adapter or the cable are
damaged.
1. Plug the adapter cable into the mains adapter socket
4
in
the blood pressure monitor.
2. Plug the adapter plug into the wall socket.
When the mains adapter is connected, no battery current is
consumed.

Potential cause and remedy
The pulse signals on the cuff are too
weak. Re-position the cuff and repeat
the measurement.*
During the measurement, error signals
were detected by the cuff, caused for
instance by movement or muscle
tension.Repeat the measurement,
keeping your arm still.
An adequate pressure cannot be gene-
rated in the cuff. A leak may have
occurred. Check that the cuff is cor-
rectly connected and is not too loose.
Replace the batteries if necessary.
Repeat the measurement.
The measuring signals are inaccurate
and no result can therefore be dis-
played. Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and
then repeat the measurement.*
The pressure in the cuff is too high
(over 300 mmHg) OR the pulse is too
high (over 200 beats per minute).
Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the
measurement.*
The pulse is too low (less than 40
beats per minute). Repeat the measu-
rement.*
