Flat Battery - Replacement; Which Batteries And Which Procedure; Using Rechargeable Batteries; Using A Mains Adapter - Microlife BP A100 Plus Mode D'emploi

Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AO will flash as soon
as the instrument is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 7 at the back of the instrument
by pushing inwards at the two arrows and pulling out the
battery compartment cover.
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 (and
possibly also set alarm times) must be reset – the year
number therefore flashes automatically after the batteries
are replaced.

Which batteries and which procedure?

Use 4 new, long-life 1.5V, size AA batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the instrument is not going to be used
for a prolonged period.

Using rechargeable batteries

You can also operate this instrument 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
instrument as they may become damaged (total discharge as
a result of low use of the instrument, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the instrument 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.

10. Using a Mains Adapter

You can operate this instrument using the Microlife mains adapter
(DC 6V, 600mA).
Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an orig-
inal accessory appropriate for your supply voltage, e.g. the
«Microlife 230V adapter».
Ensure that neither the mains adapter nor the cable are
damaged.

11. 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» Signal too The pulse signals on the cuff are too weak.
weak Re-position the cuff and repeat the
measurement.*
«ERR 2» Error signal During the measurement, error signals were
detected by the cuff, caused for instance by
movement or muscle tension. Repeat the
measurement, keeping your arm still.
«ERR 3» No pressure An adequate pressure cannot be generated
in the cuff in the cuff. A leak may have occurred. Check
that the cuff is correctly connected and is
not too loose. Replace the batteries if
necessary. Repeat the measurement.
«ERR 5» Abnormal The measuring signals are inaccurate and
result no result can therefore be displayed. Read
through the checklist for performing reliable
measurements and then repeat the
measurement.*
«ERR 6» MAM Mode There were too many errors during the
measurement in MAM mode, making it
impossible to obtain a final result. Read
through the checklist for performing reli-
able measurements and then repeat the
measurement.*
«HI» Pulse or cuff The pressure in the cuff is too high (over
pressure too 300 mmHg) OR the pulse is too high (over
high 200 beats per minute). Relax for 5 minutes
and repeat the measurement.*
«LO» Pulse too The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per
low minute). Repeat the measurement.*
* Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs repeatedly.
If you think the results are unusual, please read through the
information in «Section 1.» carefully.
