g) When the unit is set to the MAM (Microlife Averaging Mode) setting, 3 separate
measurements will take place in succession after which your result is calculated
and displayed as a single, averaged measurement. There is a 15 second resting
time in-between each measurement. A count down indicates the remaining time
and a beep will sound 5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings will begin.
If one of the measurements causes an error message, it will be repeated one more time. If any additional error occurs,
the measurement will be discontinued and error code displayed.
Expanding the averaged measurement to see the three individual readings:
This function allows you to view the three individual measurements used to cal-
culate the Microlife AveragingMode measurement. After taking an averaging
mode measurement hold the memory button for 3 seconds until you hear a short
beep. (Do not hold the button longer than 7 seconds or you will delete all the
readings in the memory.) Let go of the button and watch the screen. It will auto-
matically scroll through the three measurements used in the measurement.
5.5. Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may devi-
ate from your normal basal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily), we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also analyzes pulse
frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is dis-
played after the measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times
per week on measurements performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than
usual, we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregu-
larities at an early stage.
