Description
No pressure
in the cuff
Abnormal
result
Pulse or cuff
pressure too
high
Pulse too low
Potential cause and remedy
An adequate pressure cannot be gene-
rated in the cuff. A leak may have
occurred. Check that the cuff is cor-
rectly connected and is not too loose.
Replace the batteries if necessary.
Repeat the measurement.
The measuring signals are inaccurate
and no result can therefore be dis-
played. Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and
then repeat the measurement.*
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.*
The pulse is too low (less than 40
beats per minute). Repeat the measu-
rement.*
* Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs
repeatedly.

If you think the results are unusual, please read through
the information in «Section 1.» carefully.
