Battery Indicator And Battery Change; Low Battery; Flat Battery - Replacement; Which Batteries And Which Procedure - Microlife AFIB PC Mode D'emploi

9. 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.».

The memory retains all values although date and time must
be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically
after the batteries are replaced.

Which batteries and which procedure?

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

Using rechargeable batteries

You can also operate this device 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
device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a
result of low use of the device, even when switched off).

Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the device 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 device using the Microlife mains adapter
(DC 6V, 600 mA).

Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an original
accessory appropriate for your supply voltage.

6
Ensure that neither the mains adapter nor the cable are
damaged.
1. Plug the adapter cable into the mains adapter socket 4 in the
blood pressure monitor.
2. Plug the adapter plug into the wall socket.
When the mains adapter is connected, no battery current is
consumed.

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
BQ
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 gener-
BN
in the cuff ated 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 reli-
able measurements and then repeat the
measurement.*
«ERR 6» AFIB/MAM There were too many errors during the
Mode measurement in AFIB/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 299 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 minute). Repeat the measurement.*
