1. Using the Device for the First Time
Inserting the batteries
After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The
battery compartment 7 is on the bottom of the device. Insert the
batteries (4 x 1.5 V, size AA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.
Setting the date and time
1. After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the
display. You can set the year by pressing the M-button 3. To
confirm and then set the month, press the MAM button 4.
2. Press the M-button to set the month. Press the MAM button to
confirm and then set the day.
3. Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.
4. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the MAM button,
the date and time are set and the time is displayed.
5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the
MAM button for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts
to flash. Now you can enter the new values as described above.
Selecting the correct cuff

Pre-shaped cuffs are optionally available.
Only use Microlife cuffs.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 8 does
not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 9
into the cuff socket 5 as far as it will go.
If you buy a spare Microlife cuff, please remove the cuff
connector 9 from the cuff tube AT from the cuff supplied
with the original device and insert this cuff connector into
the tube of the spare cuff (valid for all cuff sizes).
Selecting standard or MAM mode
Before each measurement, select standard (single measurement)
or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement). In MAM mode,
3 measurements are automatically taken in succession and the
result is then automatically analysed and displayed. Because the
blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result obtained in this way
is more reliable than when a single measurement is performed.
To select MAM mode, press the MAM button 4 until the MAM-
symbol AO appears on the display. To change to standard mode
(single measurement), press the MAM-button again, until the
MAM-symbol disappears.
The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to
indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently being taken.
There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements.
A count down indicates the remaining time.
The individual results are not displayed. Your blood pressure will
only be displayed after all 3 measurements are taken.
Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
If one of the individual measurements was questionable, a fourth
one is automatically taken.
2. Checklist for Taking a Reliable Measurement
Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes.
Keep the feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.
Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recom-
mended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a
patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in the
future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be measured.
