5. PC-Link Functions

This device can be used in connection with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyser (BPA) software.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the
monitor via cable with the PC.
If no CD and cable is included download the BPA software from
www.microlife.com and use a standard USB cable.

Installation and data transmission

1. Insert CD into CD ROM drive of your PC. The installation will
start automatically. If not, please click on «SETUP.EXE».
2. Connect the monitor via cable with the PC; no need to switch
the device on. 3 horizontal bars will appear on the display and
last for 3 seconds.
3. The bars will then flash to indicate that the connection between
PC and device is successfully made. As long as the cable is
plugged, the bars will keep flashing and buttons are disabled.
During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer. Please refer to the «help» file for software
instructions.

6. Data Memory

At the end of a measurement, this instrument automatically stores
each result, including date and time.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 2 briefly, when the instrument is switched
off. The display first shows «M» AS and then a value, e.g. «M 17».
This means that there are 17 values in the memory. The instrument
then switches to the last stored result.
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 200 is
not exceeded. When the memory is full, the old values
are automatically overwritten with new ones. Values
should be evaluated by a doctor before the memory capacity
is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the instrument must have been
BP A200
switched off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
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
AR 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.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AR will flash as soon
as the instrument is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment AT at the back of the instrument.
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.».
The memory retains all values although date and time (and
possibly also set alarm times) must be reset – the year
number therefore flashes automatically after the batteries
are replaced.

Which batteries and which procedure?

Use 4 new, long-life 1.5V, size AA batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the instrument is not going to be used
for a prolonged period.

Using rechargeable batteries

You can also operate this instrument 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
instrument as they may become damaged (total discharge as
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.
Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.
