Page: 13 / 66

Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be
placed on the right. However all measurements should be made
using the same arm.
5.4. Measurement mode selection
Clinical studies demonstrate taking multiple blood pressure readings and calculating an «average» is more
likely to determine your true blood pressure. This blood pressure monitor allows you to switch to the special
Microlife Average Mode – MAM – that automatically takes multiple readings!
MAM Mode:
a) If you would like to take a MAM measurement, please slide the
switch to the right toward no. 3.
b) MAM mode takes generally 3 measurements in succession and
calculates the result.
c) The « » symbol in the display indicates that the device is
set to the MAM mode.
Single mode:
a) If you would like to take single measurement, please slide the
switch toward no. 1.
b) Single mode only has 1 measurement.
User selection:
This advanced blood pressure monitor allows you to track
blood pressure readings for 2 individuals independently.
a) Before measurement make sure you set the unit for
the intended user. The unit can track results for 2
individuals. (User 1, User 2)
b) The unit is set to User 1. Click the User/Time button to
change to User 2.
c) Click the User/Time button again to change into User 1
d) We suggest the first person to take their pressure to
be User 1.
5.5. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press the O/I button. The pump begins to inflate the cuff. The
rising pressure in the cuff is shown in the display.
b) After reaching the inflation pressure, the pump stops and the
pressure gradually falls. The cuff pressures are displayed. In
case that the inflation pressure is not sufficient, the monitor
automatically re-inflates to a higher level.
