Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 30
memories per user is not exceeded. When the 30 memory
is full, the oldest value is automatically overwritten with
the 31th value. 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 device must have been
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
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»

The pulse signals on the cuff are too
weak
weak. Re-position the cuff and repeat
the measurement.*
«Err 2»
