Other possible malfunctions and their elimination
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked and if
necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken:

Further Information
The level of blood-pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people.
Important thereby is,
that comparable measurements always require the same
conditions (rest conditions)!
HI
The pressure in the cuff is too high (over 300mmHg) OR the pulse is too high
(over 200 beats per minute). Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the measurement.*
LO
The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute). Repeat the measurement.*
Malfunction
Remedy
The display remains empty
when the instrument is
switched on although the
batteries are in place.
1. Check whether the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity and correct if necessary.
2. If the display is unusual, re-insert batteries or exchange
them.
The device frequently fails to
measure the blood pressure
values, or the values meas-
ured are too low (too high).
1. Check the positioning of the cuff.
2. Measure the blood pressure again in complete peace
and quiet under observance of the details made under
point 5.
Every measurement results
in different values although
the device functions nor-
mally and the values dis-
played are normal.
• Please read the following information and the points
listed under 5.2. «Common sources of error». Repeat the
measurement. Please note: Blood pressure fluctuates
continually so successive measurements will show some
variability.
The blood pressure values
measured differ from those
measured by the doctor.
• Record the daily development of the values and consult
your doctor about them. Please note: Individuals visiting
their doctor frequently experience anxiety which can result
in a higher reading than at home under resting conditions.
