5.8. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the measurment can begin:
a) Press the ON/OFF/START button. The pump begins to inflate
the cuff. In the display, the increasing cuff pressure is contin-
ually displayed.
b) After automatically reaching an individual pressure, the pump
stops and the pressure slowly falls. The cuff pressure is dis-
played during the measurement.
c) When the device has detected your pulse, the heart symbol
in the display begins to blink and a beep tone is audible for
every pulse beat.
d) When the measurement has been concluded, a long beep
tone sounds. The measured systolic and diastolic blood pres-
sure values, as well as the pulse are now displayed.
e) The appearance of this symbol signifies that an irregular
heartbeat was detected. This indicator is only a caution. It is
important that you be relaxed, remain still and do not talk
during measurements. NOTE: We recommend contacting
your physician if you see this indicator frequently.
f) The measurement results are displayed until you switch the
device off. If no button is pressed for 5 minutes, the device
switches off automatically.
g) When the unit is set to the Microlife Average Mode setting, 3
separate measurements will take place in succession after
which your result is calculated. 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 measure-
ment will be discontinued and error code displayed.
Expanding the MAM measurement to see the three individual readings - This func-
tion allows you to view the three individual measurements used to calculate the
MAM measurement. After taking a MAM measurement hold the memory button for
3 seconds until you hear a short beep. (Do not hold the button longer than 7 sec-
onds or you will delete all the readings in the memory.) Let go of the button and
watch the screen. It will automatically scroll through the three measurements
used in the MAM measurement.
