Disposal
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» 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» No pressure
in the cuff
An adequate pressure cannot be generated
in the cuff. A leak may have occurred.
Check that cuff and pump ball are correctly
connected and that the cuff is not fitted too
loosely. 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 reli-
able 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 low The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per
minute). Repeat the measurement.*
