6. PC-Link Functions

This device can be used in conjunction 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 a cable.
If no CD and cable is included download the BPA software from
www.microlife.com and use a USB cable with a Mini-B 5 pin
connector.

Installation and data transmission

1. Insert CD into the CD ROM drive of your PC. The installation
will start automatically. If not, please click on «SETUP.EXE».
2. Connect the monitor via the cable to the PC; there is 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 successful. As long as the cable is plugged in,
the bars will keep flashing and the buttons are disabled.

During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer. Please refer to the «help» file for software
instructions.

7. Data Memory

This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.

Viewing the stored values

Select either user 1 or 2 with the user switch AT.
Press the M-button AK briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» BP and «A», which stands for the average
of all stored values.
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 99
memories per user is not exceeded. When the 99 memory is
full, the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
100th value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

Make sure the correct user is activated.
BP A3L Comfort

2. Hold down the M-button AK until «CL» appears and then release
the button.
3. Press the M-button while «CL» is flashing to permanently clear
all values of the selected user.

flashing.

Individual values cannot be cleared.

8. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AN
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 AN 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 4 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.».

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.
