11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» BQ is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the M-button AL.
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).
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 (PAD)
This symbol BO 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. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display BT points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The
value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or high
(red) range. The classification corresponds to the following ranges
defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in mmHg.
Range
Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure
≥135
too high
2. blood pressure
130 - 134 80 - 84
elevated
3. blood pressure
<130
normal
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
6. PC-Link Functions
This device can be used in conjunction with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ (BPA+) soft-
ware. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by
connecting the monitor via a cable.
If no download-voucher and cable is included download the BPA+
software from www.microlife.com/software and use a USB cable
with a Mini-B 5 pin connector.
During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer.
7. Data Memory
This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.
Viewing the stored values
Select either user 1 or 2 with the user switch AK.
Press the M-button AL briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» BQ 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.
