Instructions for use
Inserting the batteriesAfter unpacking the device, first insert the batteries.The battery compartment 7 is located at the bottom ofthe device. Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5 V, size AA), paying attentionto the indicated polarity.Setting date and time1. After the batteries are inserted, the year flashes on the screen. You can set the year by pressing the M button 3. To confirm and then set the month, press the time button 4.2. Now you can set the month with the M button. Press the time button to confirm and then set the day.3. Follow the instructions above to set day, hour and minutes.4. Once you have set the minutes and press the time button, the date and time are set and the time is displayed.5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the time button for approx. 3 seconds until the year starts flashing. Now you can enter new values as described above.Select the correct cuffMicrolife has cuffs in different sizes. Select the cuff size that corresponds to the circumference of your upper arm (the measured circumference around the middle of the upper arm).Contact your Microlife importer if the included cuff 8 does not fit.Attach the cuff to the device using the cuff connector 9, pushing the connector 5 as far as possible into the device.Cuff size for upper arm circumferenceS 17 - 22 cmM 22 - 32 cmM - L 22 - 42 cmL 32 - 42 cmL - XL 32 - 52 cmPre-formed cuffs are optionally available.Only use Microlife cuffs!Step-by-step plan for a reliable blood pressure measurementAvoid activity, eating or smoking just before a measurement.Sit on a chair with a backrest and relax for 5 minutes.Keep your feet side by side on the floor and do not cross your legs.Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recommended that doctors measure both arms during a patient's first visit to determine the arm to be measured. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be measured.Remove clothing covering the upper arm, sleeves should not be rolled up to avoid constriction.Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (arm circumference marking is indicated on the cuff).Attach the cuff around the arm, but not too tightly.Ensure the cuff is placed 1-2 cm above your elbow.The artery mark on the cuff (approx. 3 cm long bar) should be placed on the artery of the arm (inner side).Support your arm so it is relaxed.Ensure the cuff is at the same height as your heart.Measuring blood pressure1. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.2. The cuff will now automatically inflate. Relax,do not move and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement result is shown. Breathe normally and do not talk.3. If the cuff is correctly placed, the Cuff Check Indicator AR symbol appears on the screen. If the symbolCuff Position Check AR-A appears, the cuff ismoderately placed but a correct blood pressure measurement can still be performed.4. When the correct pressure is reached, pumping stops and the pressure slowly decreases. If the desired pressure was not reached, the device will automatically pump more air into the cuff.5. During the measurement, the heart rate symbol AQ flashes on the screen.6. The result, including the systolic AK and diastolic AL blood pressure and the heart rate AM, is displayed.Also consult this manual for an explanation of other displays.7. When the measurement is complete, remove the cuff.8. Turn off the device. (The monitor will automatically turn off after approx. 1 min.).You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button or opening the cuff (e.g. if you feel uncomfortable or experience unpleasant pressure).This meter has been specially tested for use during pregnancy and pre-eclampsia. If you record unusually high readings, you should repeat the measurement at a later time (e.g. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynaecologist.Manually setting inflationIn case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135 mmHg), it may be beneficial to set the pressure manually. Press the ON/OFF button when the blood pressure monitor is inflated to approximately 30mmHg. Keep the button pressed until the pressure is approximately 40 mmHg higher than the expected systolic value and then release the button.Performing a measurement without saving itOnce the measurement is completed and the result is displayed, hold down the ON/OFF button 1 until the «M» AP appears in the display. Then press the time button 4 and the measurement will be deleted and not saved.When the measurement is successfully deleted, «CL» appears in the display.How do I measure my blood pressure?The triangular symbol, on the left side of the display AO, applies to the classification of home blood pressure readings in adults in accordance with international guidelines (ESH, ESC,JSH). The blood pressure value: Optimal (white), elevated (shaded grey) or too high (black). Values in mmHg.Range Systolic Diastolic Advice1. blood pressure too high >/= 135 >/= 85 Seek medical advice2. blood pressure elevated 130 - 134 80 - 84 Self-monitoring3. blood pressure normal <130 <80 Self-monitoringThe evaluation of the values is in accordance with the table. For example:a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a valueof 130/90 mmHg shows «blood pressure too high».Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbolThis symbol BT indicates that an irregular heartbeat has beendetected. In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate fromyour actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat themeasurement.Information for the physician in case of repeatedappearance of the IHB symbolThis device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also measures thepulse during blood pressure measurement and indicates when the heart rate is irregular.Memory storageThis device stores the last 30 measurement values.Viewing stored valuesPress the M button 3 when the device is switched off. The display first shows «M» AP and «A», which stands for the average of all stored values.Pressing the M button again shows the previous value. By pressing the M button again, you can scroll through the measurement results.Clear all valuesIf you are sure you want to permanently delete all stored values, press and hold the M button (first switch off the device) until «CL ALL» appears and then release the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the time button while «CL ALL» is flashing. Individual measurements cannot be deleted.Cancel deletion: press the ON/OFF button 1 while «CL ALL» is flashing.Battery indicator and battery replacementBatteries almost emptyWhen the batteries are approximately ¾ used, the battery symbol AN will flash as soon as the device is switched on(partially charged battery is displayed). Although thedevice will continue to measure reliably, you should replace the batteriessoon.Batteries empty – replacementWhen the batteries are empty, the battery symbol AN will flash as soon as the device is switched on (empty battery displayed).

prescribed by a medical professional.
Inspect the device, cuff and other components for damage. DO NOT USE the device, cuff or components if they appear damaged or operate abnormally.
Prolonged interruption of blood flow reduces peripheral circulation and can cause tissue damage. Watch for signs (e.g. tissue discoloration) of impaired peripheral circulation if you are taking continuous or prolonged measurements.
Prolonged exposure to cuff pressure will reduce peripheral perfusion and may lead to injury. Avoid situations of prolonged cuff pressure beyond normal measurements.
In the event of abnormally prolonged pressure, stop the measurement or loosen the cuff to reduce pressure in the cuff.
Do not use this device in an oxygen-rich environment or near flammable gas.
The device is not water-resistant or waterproof. Do not spill on the device and do not immerse it in water or other liquids.
