4. Error Messages / Malfunctions
If an error occurs during a measurement the LCD displays the corresponding error code.
Error Possible Cause Remedy
EE 1 Cuff pressure is more than 300 mmHg or the
inflation of the cuff takes too long.
Ensure that the cuff is worn correctly and
measure again. Avoid movement or talking
when the cuff is being inflated.
EE 2 The difference between systolic and diastolic
pressure readings are out of reasonable range.
Ensure that the cuff is being worn
correctly and that you have been inactive
for a sufficient time before making the
measurement.
EE 3 Unnatural pressure impulses influence the

exchange them for new ones.
The pressure does not rise even though the pump is
running.
Check the connection of the cuff tube and connect
properly if necessary.
The device frequently fails to measure the blood
pressure values, or the values measured are too low
or too high.
1. Check the positioning of the cuff.
2. Measure the blood pressure again, ensuring that
you have remained motionless for a sufficient
amount of time to ensure an accurate reading.
Every measurement produces varying results
although the instrument functions normally and the
values displayed are normal.
Note that blood pressure fluctuates continuously;
therefore measurements will show some variability.
Blood pressure values measured differ from those
measured by the doctor.
Record the daily developement of the values and
consult your doctor.
