11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati
-
cally after approx. 1 min.).
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button or open the cuff (e.g. if you feel uneasy or
an unpleasant pressure sensation).
If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high
,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually.
Press the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been
pumped up to a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the
display). Keep the button pressed until the pressure is
about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic value – then
release the button.
4. Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol
This symbol
AO
indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected.
In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your
actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the
measurement.
5. Data memory
This device always stores the last result at the end of the measure
-
ment. To recall the reading, press and hold the ON/OFF button
1
while the device is switched off. Release the button as soon as all
display elements are shown. The stored result will then be shown,
indicated with the letter
«M»
AP
.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button
9
briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows
«M»
AP
, and
«28A»
which stands for the
average of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
6. Battery indicator and battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AN
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled
battery displayed). Although the device will continue to measure
reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery - replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol
AN
will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment
5
on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AA alkaline batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a
prolonged period.
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 Microlife mains adapter (DC
6V, 600 mA).
Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an orig
-
inal accessory appropriate for your supply voltage.
Ensure that neither the mains adapter nor the cable are
damaged.
1. Plug the adapter cable into the mains adapter socket
4
in the
blood pressure monitor.
Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of
the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and
indicates when the heart rate is irregular.
