Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be
placed on the right. However all measurements should be made
using the same arm.
5.4. Measurement mode selection
Clinical studies demonstrate taking multiple blood pressure readings and calculating an «average» is more
likely to determine your true blood pressure. This blood pressure monitor allows you to switch to the special
Microlife Average Mode – MAM – that automatically takes multiple readings!
MAM Mode:
a) If you would like to take a MAM measurement, please slide the
switch to the right toward no. 3.
b) MAM mode takes generally 3 measurements in succession and
calculates the result.
c) The « » symbol in the display indicates that the device is
set to the MAM mode.
Single mode:
a) If you would like to take single measurement, please slide the
switch toward no. 1.
b) Single mode only has 1 measurement.
5.5. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press the O/I button. The pump begins to inflate the cuff. The
rising pressure in the cuff is shown in the display.
b) After reaching the inflation pressure, the pump stops and the
pressure gradually falls. The cuff pressures are displayed. In
case that the inflation pressure is not sufficient, the monitor
automatically re-inflates to a higher level.
c) When the instrument detects a pulse, the heart symbol in the
display starts to flash and a beep is heard for every heartbeat.
d) A longer beep is sounded when the measurement has been
completed. The systolic, and diastolic blood pressures and pulse
rate now appear in the display.
e) The measurement results are displayed, until you switch the
device off. If no button is pressed for 5 minutes, the device
switches automatically off, to save the batteries.
f) When the device is set to MAM mode, generally 3 separate
measurements will take place in succession and calculates your
