How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a readout value between 150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indi-
cates «blood pressure too high».
2. Using the Instrument for the First Time
Inserting the batteries
After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The
battery compartment 5 is at the back of the device. Insert the
batteries (4 x size AA 1,5 V), thereby observing the indicated polarity.
Selecting the correct cuff
Microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the cuff size to match
the circumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting in
the centre of the upper arm).

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and
relax.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
4. 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.
5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown
in the pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.
Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
Make sure that the cuff is 2 cm (0.75 inch) above your
elbow with the tube on the inside of your arm.
Support your arm so it is relaxed.
Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
6. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
7. 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.
8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops
and the pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was
not reached, the instrument will automatically pump some
more air into the cuff.
9. During the measurement, the heart symbol AL flashes in the
display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.
10. The result, comprising the systolic 8 and the diastolic 9 blood
pressure and the pulse AT is displayed and longer beep is heard.
Note also the explanations on further displays in this booklet.
11. When the measurement has finished, remove the cuff.
12. Switch off the instrument. (The monitor does switch off auto-
matically after approx. 1 min.).
)
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).
