Caution: Make sure date and time settings are correct on
the device. Incorrect settings results in misleading data
and time records of the measurements.

Selecting the correct cuff

Check if the cuff size is suitable for the circumference of your upper
arms. The upper arm circumference can be measured using a tape
measure around the mid-point of the upper arm.
Please see cuff range in chapter «Device accessories».
Caution: Only use compatible Microlife cuffs
and connectors with this device.
Caution: Using an undersized or oversized cuff for
measurement can result in inaccurate blood pressure
values. Use the correctly sized cuff for measurement to
ensure the readings are reliable.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 9
does not fit.

If you buy a spare Microlife cuff, please remove the cuff
connector AK from the cuff tube AT 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).

Connecting the cuff to the device

Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector AK
into the cuff socket 5 as far as it will go.
6
Make sure the cuff connector is securely inserted into the
cuff socket of your blood pressure monitor. A distinct
«CLICK» must be heard when fully inserted.
Note: A loose connection will result in inaccurate readings,
and an error message («Err 3»).

5. Measurement preparation

Before taking a measurement

Avoid heavy activity, eating or smoking immediately before the

measurement.
Empty your bladder prior to measurement.

Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes.

Keep your 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
patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in
the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be
measured.

Correct cuff fitting and posture for taking a measurement

Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used

(marking on the cuff).
Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid

constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not
interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.
Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

Make sure that the cuff is positioned 1 – 2 cm above the elbow.

The artery mark on the cuff (ca.3 cm long bar) must lie over the

artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
Support your arm so it is relaxed.

Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.

6. Measurement operation

Starting measurement
1. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
2. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move
and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
3. The cuff fit check AP on the display indicates that the cuff is
perfectly placed. If the icon AP-A appears, the cuff is fitted
suboptimally, but it is still ok to measure.
