Viewing The Stored Values; Clearing All Values; Battery Indicator And Battery Change; Low Battery - Microlife BP B3 AFIB Advanced Manual

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 3 briefly, 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 displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
F Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit AR-A are
not considered in the average value.
F
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99
memories is not exceeded. When the 99 memory is full, the
oldest value is automatically overwritten with the 100th
value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before the
memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

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 ALL» appears and then
release the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the
MAM button while «CL ALL» is flashing. Individual values cannot
be cleared.
F Cancel deletion: press ON/OFF button 1 while «CL ALL»
is flashing.

6. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AQ
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 AQ 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 7 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 2.».
F
The memory retains all values although date and time must
be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically
after the batteries are replaced.
BP B3 AFIB

Which batteries and which procedure?

F
Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AA alkaline batteries.
F
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
F
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.
F Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.
F
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).
F
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the device for a week or more.
F 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, 600 mA).
F
Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an original
accessory appropriate for your supply voltage.
F Ensure that neither the mains adapter nor the cable are
damaged.
1. Plug the adapter cable into the mains adapter socket 6 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.

8. 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
AS
measurement.*
«Err 2» Error signal During the measurement, error signals
were detected by the cuff, caused for
AR-B
instance by movement or muscle tension.
Repeat the measurement, keeping your
arm still.
