Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your
health and must be treated by your doctor!
Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if
you have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely
on single blood pressure readings.
There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, weight loss
and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
any drugs prescribed by your doctor!
Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure
is subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You
should therefore take your measurements in the same
quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least
two readings every time (in the morning and in the evening) and
average the measurements.
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion to produce significantly different results.
Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as
these situations are completely different.
Several measurements
provide much more reliable information
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
«Section 5.»), measurements taken with this device should be
evaluated with your doctor.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure again after 4 hours. If the
reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynecologist.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
3. Using the Device for the First Time
Inserting the batteries
After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The
battery compartment
5
is on the bottom of the device. Insert the
batteries (
4
x 1.5 V, size
AA
), thereby observing the indicated
polarity.
Setting the date and time
1. After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the
display. You can set the year by pressing the M-button 9. To
confirm and then set the month, press the time button 8.
2. Press the M-button to set the month. Press the time button to
confirm and then set the day.
3. Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.
4. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the time button, the
date and time are set and the time is displayed.
5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the time
button down for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts
to flash. Now you can enter the new values as described above.
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).
