8. Error messages/troubleshooting

If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement is discontinued and a

corresponding error code is displayed.

Error No. Possible cause(s)

ERR 1

No pulse detected.* Ensure the cuff is properly placed on the inside of your wrist and

repeat the measurement. See section 5.3.

ERR 2

Abnormal pressure readings detected. The arm was moved during the measurement

(artifact). Repeat measurement, keeping still and quiet.

ERR 3

Inflation of the cuff takes too long. The cuff is not positioned correctly. Re-position

cuff and repeat the measurement.

ERR 5

There is an unacceptable difference between the measured systolic and diastolic

readings. Take another reading, carefully following the directions. Contact your doctor if you

continue to get unusual readings.

The cuff pressure is too high. Relax for 5 minutes and repeat

the measurement.*

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

* If this or any other problem occurs repeatedly, please consult

your doctor.

Other possible malfunctions and solutions

If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked and, if

necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken:

Malfunction Remedy

The display remains blank when the

instrument is switched on.

1. Check batteries for correct polarity.

2. If the display is unusual, re-insert batteries or

exchange them.

The device frequently fails to measure

blood pressure values, or the values

measured are too low (too high).

1. Check the positioning of the cuff.

2. Measure blood pressure again in peace

and quiet, carefully following the details

in Section 5.

Every measurement produces a

different value.

Please read the following information listed

in Section 5.2

"Common sources of

error."

Repeat the measurement.

Please note: Blood pressure fluctuates

continually so successive measurements

will show some variability.

Allow 1-2 minutes between readings.

Blood pressure values measured at

your doctor’s

Record the daily development of the measured

values and consult your doctor.
