4. Setup Guide

4.1. Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
2. Insert four (4) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

4.2. Attaching the Arm Cuff

1. Connect the cuff tube to the air socket on the left side of the blood pressure monitor.
2. Ensure the cuff is the correct size for your arm (22-42 cm universal conical cuff included).
3. Place the cuff on your bare left upper arm, approximately 2 cm above the elbow. The tube should run down the center of your arm, aligned with your main artery.
4. Fasten the cuff snugly but not too tightly. There should be enough space to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Before Measurement

For accurate readings, follow these guidelines:

• Sit on a chair or armchair with a backrest, ensuring your back is supported.
• Place your feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes in a relaxed position before taking a measurement.
• Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes prior to measurement.
• Ensure your arm is relaxed and supported at heart level.

5.2. Taking a Measurement

1. Press the START/STOP button to turn on the device. The display will show all segments briefly.
2. The cuff will automatically inflate using Gentle+ technology, which ensures a comfortable and optimal inflation level.
3. Remain still and silent during the measurement. Any movement or talking can affect accuracy. The motion indicator will signal if arm movement is detected.
4. The device will automatically deflate the cuff and display your systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PUL).
5. If the device detects Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB), a specific symbol will appear on the display.

5.3. MAM Mode (Microlife Average Mode)

For enhanced accuracy, especially for AFIB detection, the device can perform three consecutive measurements and average the results. This is known as MAM mode.

1. To activate MAM mode, ensure the MAM switch (if present, typically on the side or back) is set to the MAM position.
2. Press the START/STOP button. The device will automatically take three measurements with short pauses in between.
3. After the third measurement, the device will display the average of the three readings.

5.4. Interpreting Results

The device features a colored scale on the left side of the display to help interpret your blood pressure values:

• GREEN: Normal blood pressure.
• YELLOW: At risk (pre-hypertension).
• RED: High risk (hypertension).

If the AFIB symbol appears, it indicates the detection of possible atrial fibrillation. Consult your doctor for further evaluation.

6. Maintenance and Storage

6.1. Cleaning
