If the display shows one of the following error messages, this means that the
unit was unable to accurately determine blood pressure.
Error messages -
Possible causes and solutions
ERR 1 - No pulse could be detected. Make sure that the cuff is correctly fitted
and that you are holding your wrist at the level of the heart.
ERR 2 - Non-physiological pressure has been detected and has influenced the
reading. Cause: the arm was moved during the measurement. Take another
reading, keeping your arm still and not speaking.
ERR 3 - The cuff takes too long to inflate.
The cause may be that the cuff is incorrectly positioned or that the connection
with the hose is not airtight.
ERR 4 - The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure is abnormally
high. Repeat the measurement under relaxed conditions, following the
instructions exactly. If the same error occurs repeatedly, please contact
MEDISANA.
ERR 5 - An average value could not be calculated due to unstable conditions
while the readings were being taken. Repeat the measuring process, keeping
your arm still and not speaking.
