Problem Reason Solution
Batteries are flat Insert new batteries
ERR Measurement /
handling error
Repeat measurement as
described under «Taking a
measurement». If problem
persists, contact an authorized
Service Centre.
– – – Inflation above
320 mmHg
Repeat measurement
While measuring
(during deflation of
the cuff),
you can hear a
clicking sound with
every detected
heartbeat.
The device works
with a special
deflation procedure
(stepwise deflation).
none
Readings from
repeated
measurements
differ considerably.
Blood pressure is a
fluctuating value. For
healthy adults,
deviations of 10 to 20
mmHg are possible.
none
Cuff is not properly
fitted.
Ensure that the monitor is
fitted as follows:
– on the palm side of your
wrist
– approx. 2 cm away from the
palm line
Problem Reason Solution
