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.
* Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs
repeatedly.
If you think the results are unusual, please read through the
information in «Section 1.» carefully.
Error Description Potential cause and remedy
«ERR 1» Signal too
weak
The pulse signals on the cuff are too
weak. Re-position the cuff and repeat the
measurement.*
«ERR 2»
BL
Error signal During the measurement, error signals
were detected by the cuff, caused for
instance by movement or muscle
tension. Repeat the measurement,
keeping your arm still.
«ERR 3»
BM
No pressure
in the cuff
An adequate pressure cannot be gener-
ated in the cuff. A leak may have
occurred. Check that the cuff is correctly
connected and is not too loose. Replace
the batteries if necessary. Repeat the
measurement.
«ERR 5» Abnormal
result
The measuring signals are inaccurate
and no result can therefore be displayed.
Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and
then repeat the measurement.*
«ERR 6»AFIB/MAM
Mode
There were too many errors during the
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.*
«HI» Pulse or cuff
pressure
too high
The pressure in the cuff is too high (over
300 mmHg) OR the pulse is too high
(over 200 beats per minute). Relax for 5
minutes and repeat the measurement.*
«LO» Pulse too
low
The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats
per minute). Repeat the measurement.*
