Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Symbol» of this user manual.

frequency of heart pacemakers!
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a readout value between
150/85
or
120/98
mmHg indi-
cates «blood pressure too high».
The slot-in card
3
on the front of the device shows ranges 1-6 in
the Table.

Selecting the correct cuff
Microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the cuff size to match the
circumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting in the
centre of the upper arm).

Pre-shaped cuffs are optionally available.

Only use Microlife cuffs.

Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff
8
does
not fit.

Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector
9
into the cuff socket
4
as far as it will go.

If you buy a spare Microlife cuff (size S, 17-22cm), please
remove the cuff connector from the cuff tube from the cuff
supplied with the original device and insert this cuff
connector into the tube of the spare cuff (only valid for cuff
size S).
Selecting standard or MAM mode
This device enables you to select either standard (standard single
measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement). To
select standard mode, slide the MAM switch
AK
on the side of the
device downwards to position «1» and to select MAM mode, slide
this switch upwards to position «3».
MAM mode

In MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in
succession and the result is then automatically analysed and
displayed. Because the blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a
result determined in this way is more reliable than one produced
by a single measurement.

After pressing the ON/OFF button
1
, the MAM-symbol
BK
appears in the display.
 The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to
indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently being taken.
