Symptom
The systolic pressure
value or diastolic
pressure value is high.
The systolic pressure
value or diastolic
pressure value is low.
The measured values
differ significantly.
The measured value
differs from that
measured by the doctor.
The measured value is
different for each
measurement.
The measured value
obtained is different from
that measured at the
upper arm.
Possible cause
• The hand with the cuff was held too low and
not at heart level. (See page 10.)
• The cuff was not attached properly. (See
page 9.)
• You moved your hand or body or you spoke
during measurement. (See page 10.)
• The hand with the cuff was held too high
and not at heart level. (See page 10.)
• You moved your hand or body or you spoke
during measurement. (See page 10.)
• Your posture was not the same for all
measurements, or measurements were
taken without sufficient time in between.
Always wait approximately 5 minutes before
taking another reading, and above all, relax.
• Blood pressure varies in response to minute
changes in your mental state, such as your
reaction to your doctor taking the
measurement. One way to check this is to
bring the unit to your doctor’s office and
directly compare the readings taken by your
physician.
• Relax for at least 5 minutes and then take
another measurement.
• For persons with certain circulation
problems, there may be substantial
differences in blood pressure values
measured at the upper arm versus at the
wrist.
If the device still appears to provide unusual or erroneous readings,
consult your physician. If the device does not appear to be functioning
properly, contact Panasonic at 1-800-338-0552.
Troubleshooting
Display
The “E” blinks on
the display
Status before error
Pressurization to above
300 mmH was
performed.
(Re-pressurization was
performed several
times.)
Pressure decreased
suddenly and “E”
appeared in the display.
The measurement
process was performed
until 20 mmH was
reached and then “E”
appeared in the display.
Pressurization to above
180 mmH was not
performed.
Check points
Check whether
measurements are
being taken correctly
and whether the user
is assuming the
correct posture. Make
sure the unit is on the
palm side of the wrist.
(See pages 9 and 10.)
Check whether the
