5.6. Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure
measurement for any reason (e.g. the patient feels
unwell), press the quick release valve at the pump ball.
The device then immediately lowers the cuff-pressure
automatically.
5.7. Memory – displaying the last measurement
The blood-pressure monitor automatically stores the last
measurement value. By pressing the MEMORY button, the
last measurement will be displayed.
6. Error messages/malfunctions
If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement is
discontinued and a corresponding error code is displayed.
(example: error no. 3)
Error No. Possible cause(s)
ERR 1 The systolic pressure was determined but afterwards the cuff pressure fell below 20 mmHg.
This situation can occur, for example, if the tube becomes unplugged after the systolic blood
pressure has been measured. Further possible cause: No pulse has been detected
ERR 2 The pressure dropped below 20 mmHg without a measurement taking place. The Release
valve was pressed during the measurement.
ERR 3 No systolic pressure could be detected. The cuff is not correctly seated.
ERR 5 The measured readings indicated an unacceptable difference between systolic and diastolic
pressures. Take another reading following directions carefully. Contact you doctor if you
continue to get unusual readings.
HI 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 The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute). Repeat the measurement.*
* Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs repeatedly.
Other possible malfunctions and their elimination
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked and if necessary, the
corresponding measures are to be taken:
Malfunction Remedy
The display remains empty when the instrument is
switched on although the batteries are in place.

1. Check whether the batteries are installed with the
correct polarity and correct if necessary.
2. If the display is unusual, remove the batteries and
then exchange them for new.
