Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff AT does
not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector AK
into the cuff socket 6 as far as it will go.
If you buy a spare Microlife cuff, please remove the cuff
connector AK from the cuff tube AL 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 the user
This device allows to store the results for 2 individual users.
Select the intended user (user 1 or user 2 BN) by pressing the
user button 5.
Before each measurement, ensure that the correct user is
selected.
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 AP 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
