Incorrect measurement is indicated by E
or EE
1. A correct result could not be obtained due
to too much movement of the body or arm.
.
2. The cuff is not fitted correctly.
3. Your clothing has constricted your blood
flow.
4. The cuff has not been inflated sufficiently.
5. The cuff has been over-inflated.
The pressure does not increase although you
are pumping firmly.
The cuff was inflated before the symbol (
)
was indicated.
The blood pressure levels are extremely low
or high, or unlikely values are displayed.
The display does not light up when the ( )
button is pressed.
1. The batteries are exhausted.
2. The battery +/- polarity has been reversed.
3. The battery contacts are dirty.
The batteries are weak or exhausted.
Failure, causes and rectification
Rectification
1. Repeat the measurement calmly and
without rushing. Do not move your
arm and refrain from speaking.
2. Check whether the cuff has put on
properly and repeat the measurement.
3. Relieve the constriction by removing
the article of clothing.
4. Release the air from the cuff by pres-
sing the valve and restart the measure-
ment. Increase the pressure when in-
flating the cuff by approx. 40 mmHg..
5. Repeat the measurement with less
pressure.
Check whether the airtube is connected
properly to the socket.
Press the air release valve until the
symbol (
) goes out and ( ) appears,
restart the reading.
Please follow the instructions on pages
5 – 7 and repeat the measurement.
1. Check the batteries and, if necessary, fit
new batteries.
2. Replace the batteries according to the
correct +/- polarity.
3. Clean the batteries contact with a dry
cloth.
Fit new batteries.
• If you wish to discontinue measurement before
completion, press the air release valve until ( )
appears and turn off the monitor. Should you,
however, forget to turn the monitor off, it will
automatically switch off after 5 minutes.
• An intervall of at least 2 – 3 minutes should be
made between two successive readings, otherwise
the blood flow of the arm could be constricted,
which would distort the results of the reading.
• The monitor should be turned off after each
reading, in order to avoid unnecessary drain on
the batteries.
