Before using WatchBP Ofce Target
Two ways of activating the Device
1) Pull out the protective strip projecting from the
battery compartment.
2) Plug the adapter cable into the main adapter
socket in the blood pressure monitor; then Plug
the adapter plug into the wall socket.
M (Medium size)
22 - 32 cm (8.7 - 12.6 inches)
L (Large size)
32-42 cm (12.6 - 16.5 inches)
Selecting the correct cuff
Two different cuff sizes are provided with the
WatchBP Ofce Target: Medium and Large. Use the
cuff marker to select the cuff size that best matches
the circumference of the patient’s upper arm.

Before using WatchBP Ofce Target (cont.)
Fitting the cuff properly
1) Place the cuff over the left (right) upper arm so
that the air tube and artery mark arrow point
towards the lower arm.
2) Lay the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the lower
edge of the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3cm ( ¾
to 1 inch) above the elbow.
Connect the cuff to the device
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff
connector into the cuff connector socket.
2-3 cm
(3/4 to 1 inch)

3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4) Leave a little free space between the arm of the
patient and the cuff. It must be possible to t 2
ngers between the arm and the cuff. Clothing
must not restrict the arm. Remove all clothing
covering or constricting the arm to be measured.
5) It may result in incorrect blood pressure readings
if the cuff does not t properly. Use a different
size cuff if the range index at the end of the cuff
does not fall into the range specied by the
range stripes.
6) Apply the same steps to the other arm if a
measurement of the other arm is required.
* When the cuff is wrapped
around the arm, the edge of
the cuff should be in the range
which is marked “OK”.

Automated triple measurements
In «3» Mode, the WatchBP Ofce Target
device automatically takes three consecutive
measurements at default 15 second intervals.
Because blood pressure constantly uctuates, a
result determined in this way is more reliable than
one produced by a single measurement.

Selecting the operation mode: Standard or Triple mode
Select an operation mode
There are two measuring modes to be selected,
Standard mode (standard single measurement) or
Triple mode (automatic triple measurements).
To select Standard mode, slide the switch on the
right side of the device downwards to position «1».
To select Triple mode , slide this switch upwards to
position «3».

3 measurements are averaged
On the bottom of the right hand section of the
display shows a number to indicate which of
the consecutive measurement is currently
being taken. The readings of these consecutive
measurements are averaged to produce the
routine visit blood pressure measurement.
Press «140/90» or «130/80» button
Press the button ON/OFF «140/90» or ON/OFF
«130/80», to select the preferred target value. The
device will then start to inate.
Do not remove the cuff between the measurements.
If one of the individual measurements is
questionable, an extra measurement will be taken
automatically.

Green light
If both the measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values are below the set target values
(140/90 or 130/80), the screen will light in green
with two «OK» signs.
Additionally, the lowest column in the screen
shows the pulse pressure «PP»
Red light
If either the measured systolic or diastolic result is
above the set target value (140/90 or 130/80),
the screen will light in red with the difference to
the desired value shown in display as number, e.g.
«+24, +22».

Viewing the stored values
The device stores only the blood pressure values
of the last measurement procedure. To view
the stored values, press the M-button when the
instrument is switched off. The display rst shows
«A» and then the values.
5 seconds later, the display will change and show
the systolic/diastolic difference with the set target
values (140/90 or 130/80), together with the
pulse pressure .
PP (Pulse Pressure)
The WatchBP Ofce Target device provides the pulse
pressure (PP) of the patient: pulse pressure = systolic
- diastolic pressure. Each measurement includes
the calculation of a single PP value. The average
measurement will display the average PP value.
When viewing in Memory mode, the PP value will be
displayed with the systolic/diastolic pressure once
every 5 seconds.

Clearing all values
If you are sure that you want to permanently
remove all stored values, hold down the M-button
(the instrument must have been switched off
beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release
the button. To permanently clear the memory,
press the M-button while «CL» is ashing. Single
values cannot be cleared.
Replacing the inserted Instruction Card
You can replace the inserted instruction card by
pulling it out to the side and replacing the paper.
Extra cards are supplied with the instrument for this
purpose.

Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the
battery symbol will ash as soon as the instrument
is switched on (partly lled battery displayed).
Although the instrument will continue to measure
reliably, the batteries need to be replaced soon.
Battery and power adaptor
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are at, the battery symbol will
ash as soon as the instrument is switched on (at
battery displayed). You cannot take any further
measurements and must replace the batteries.
1) Open the battery compartment 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.
*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.

15
Using a mains adaptor
Please use only the Microlife adaptor (DC 6V, 600mA)
supplied with the WatchBP Ofce Target to operate
the device.
1) Plug the adapter cable into the Power Plug of the
WatchBP Ofce Target device.
2) Plug the adaptor plug into the wall socket. When
the power adaptor is connected, no battery
power is consumed.

If an error occurs during measurement, the
measurement is interrupted and an error
message «Err» is displayed.
•Please contact your local
Microlife service center if
the error persists.
•If you think the results
are unusual, please read
through the information
in this instruction manual
carefully.
Error Description Potential cause and
remedy
«Err 1»Signal too
weak
The pulse signals on
the cuff are too 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.
Error messages

Error Description Potential cause and
remedy
«Err 6 Triple Mode There were too many
errors during the
measurement in
Triple mode, making it
impossible to obtain a
nal reliable result. Read
through the checklist
for performing reliable
measurements and then
repeat the measurement.
Error Description Potential cause and
remedy
«Err 3»No pressure
in the cuff
An adequate pressure
cannot be generated
in the cuff. A leak
may have occurred.
Replace the batteries if
necessary. Repeat the
measurement.
«Err 5»Abnormal
result
The measuring signals
are inaccurate and no
result can therefore
be displayed. Read
through the checklist
for performing reliable
measurements and then
repeat the measurement.

EN

Error Description Potential cause and
remedy
«HI»Pulse or cuff
pressure too
high
The pressure in the
cuff is too high (over
300 mmHg) OR the
pulse is too high
(over 200 beats per
minute). Relax for 5
minutes and repeat the
measurement.
«LO»Pulse too
low
The pulse is too low
(less than 40 beats per
minute). Repeat the
measurement.
