Clearing all values
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been
switched off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
while «CL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.
9. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AR
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 AR 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 AT at the back of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in «Section 3.».
The memory retains all values although date and time must
be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically
after the batteries are replaced.
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.

10. 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 original
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 8 in the
blood pressure monitor.
2. Plug the adapter plug into the wall socket.
When the mains adapter is connected, no battery current is
consumed.
11. Error Messages
If an error occurs during the measurement, the measurement is
interrupted and an error message, e.g. «ERR 3», is displayed.
Error
Description Potential cause and remedy
«ERR 1» Signal too
The pulse signals on the cuff are too
weak
weak. Re-position the cuff and repeat the
measurement.*
«ERR 2»
Error signal During the measurement, error signals
were detected by the cuff, caused for
BL
instance by movement or muscle
tension. Repeat the measurement,
keeping your arm still.
«ERR 3»
No pressure
An adequate pressure cannot be gener-
in the cuff
ated in the cuff. A leak may have
BM
occurred. Check that the cuff is correctly
connected and is not too loose. Replace
the batteries if necessary. Repeat the
measurement.
«ERR 5» Abnormal
The measuring signals are inaccurate
result
and no result can therefore be displayed.
Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and
then repeat the measurement.*
«ERR 6» AFIB/MAM
There were too many errors during the
Mode
measurement in AFIB/MAM mode,
making it impossible to obtain a final
result. Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and
then repeat the measurement.*
