Appearance Of The Heart Arrhythmia Indicator For Early Detection; Data Memory; Battery Indicator And Battery Change; Batteries Almost Flat - Microlife BP 3AG1 Manual Del Usaurio

4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AK indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected
during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your
normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. 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 instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that
also analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instru-
ment 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.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but
serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

5. Data Memory

This instrument always stores the last result at the end of the
measurement. To call up the value, press and hold down the
ON/OFF button 1 (the instrument must be switched off first). All
display elements are now shown. Release the button when you
see the stored reading value and the letter «M».

6. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Batteries almost flat

When the batteries are approximately ¾ used the battery symbol
AM will flash as soon as the instrument is switched on (partly filled
battery displayed). Although the instrument will continue to
measure reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.

When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AM will flash as soon
as the instrument is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.

a result of low use of the instrument, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries, if you do not
intend to use the instrument for a week or more!
The batteries can NOT be charged in the blood pressure monitor!
Recharge these batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability!

7. Using a Mains Adapter
