Traffic Light Indicator In The Display; Data Memory; Viewing The Stored Values; Memory Full - Microlife BP A3 Plus Manual

5. Traffic light indicator in the display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the display AR show you the
range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or
dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to
the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines
(ESH, ESC, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

6. 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 9.
Press the M-button AT briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» BO, and «28A»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.

Memory full


Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99
memories per user 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
befor the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will
be lost.

Clearing all values

Make sure the correct user is activated.
1. Select either user 1 or 2 with the user switch 9, when the
device is switched off.
2. Hold down the M-button AT until «CL» appears and then
release the button.
3. Press the M-button while «CL» is flashing to permanently clear
all values of the selected user.
 Cancel deletion: press ON/OFF button 1 while «CL» is
flashing.

7. Battery indicator and battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AM 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 AM 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 4 on the bottom 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. Using the device for the first time».
 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.
