Traffic Light Indicator In The Display; Pc-Link Functions; Data Memory; Viewing The Stored Values - Microlife BP A6 PC Bedienungsanleitung


In the presence of atrial fibrillation the diastolic blood pres-
sure value may not be accurate.

Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.

This device may not or wrongly detect atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.

7. Traffic light indicator in the display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the display BK show you the
range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or
dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to
the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines
(ESH, ESC, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

8. PC-Link functions

This device can be used in conjunction with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ (BPA+) soft-
ware. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by
connecting the monitor via a cable.
If no download-voucher and cable is included download the BPA+
software from www.microlife.com/software and use a USB cable
with a Mini-B 5 pin connector.

During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer.

9. 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 9.
Switch the lock switch AN to «unlock» position. Press the M-button
AK briefly. The display first shows «M» BL and «28A», which
stands for the average of all stored values.
Pressing the «+» AM or the «-» AL button repeatedly enables you
to move from one stored value to another. Press the M-button
again to exit the memory mode.

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.
1. Firstly unlock the device AN, then select either 1 or 2 with the
user switch 9.
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.

Cancel deletion: press START/STOP button 1 while
«CL» is flashing.

Individual values cannot be cleared.

10. Battery indicator and battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
BT 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 BT 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
«4. 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.
