Error Description Potential cause and remedy
«ERR 1» Signal too The pulse signals on the cuff are too weak.
weak Re-position the cuff and repeat the measure-
ment.*
«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 An adequate pressure cannot be generated
in the cuff in the cuff. A leak may have occurred. Check
that the cuff is correctly connected and is not
too loose. Replace the batteries if neces-
sary. Repeat the measurement.
«ERR 5» Abnormal The measuring signals are inaccurate and
result no result can therefore be displayed. Read
through the checklist for performing reliable
measurements and then repeat the
measurement.*
«HI» Pulse or cuff The pressure in the cuff is too high (over 300
pressure mmHg) OR the pulse is too high (over 200
too high beats per minute). Relax for 5 minutes and
repeat the measurement.*
Pulse too The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per
