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 »
BT
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.
« ERR 3 »
AR
No pressure
in the cuff
An adequate pressure cannot be gener-
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
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.*
« ERR 6 » AFIB/MAM
Mode
There were too many errors during the
measurement in AFIB/MAM mode,
making it impossible to obtain a final
result. Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and
then repeat the measurement.*
« 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

The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats
per minute). Repeat the measurement.*
