Appearance Of The Pulse Arrhythmia Indicator For Early Detection; Data Memory; Battery Indicator And Battery Change - Microlife BP A1 Easy Instructions Manual


If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press
the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up to
a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the
button pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above
the expected systolic value – then release the button.
4. Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AO indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse
irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears
more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements
performed daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to
detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

5. Data Memory

This device always stores the last result at the end of the measure-
ment. To recall the reading, press and hold the ON/OFF button 1
while the device is switched off. All display elements are shown
now. Release the button when the stored result with the letter «M»
AP is displayed.

6. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AN
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.
4
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AN 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 5 on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
Which batteries and which procedure?

Use 4 new, long-life 1.5V, size AA 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.
7. Using a Mains Adapter
You can operate this device using the Microlife mains adapter (DC 6V,
600mA).

Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an orig-
inal 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 4 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.
