while «CL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.

7. Battery indicator and battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AT 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 AT 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.
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.

8. Using a mains adapter

You can operate this device using the Microlife mains adapter (DC
6V, 600 mA).

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.

9. 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 measurement.*
«Err 2»
Error signal During the measurement, error signals
were detected by the cuff, caused for
AR
instance by movement or muscle
tension. Repeat the measurement,
keeping your arm still.
«Err 3» No pressure An adequate pressure cannot be
in the cuff generated in the cuff. A leak may have
AQ
occurred. Check that the cuff is
correctly connected and is not too
loose. Replace the batteries if neces-
sary. Repeat the measurement.
«Err 5» Abnormal The measuring signals are inaccurate
result and no result can therefore be
displayed. Read through the checklist
for taking a reliable measurement and
then repeat the measurement.*
