Error Messages / Trouble-Shooting - Beurer BM 44 Gebrauchsanweisung

It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice.
Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal
blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the unit
show which category the recorded blood pressure values
fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two dif­
ferent categories (e.g. systole in the ‚High normal' category
and diastole in the ‚Normal' category), the graphical classi­
fication on the device always shows the higher category; for
the example given this would be ‚High normal'.

6. Error messages / trouble-shooting

In case of faults, the
Error messages may appear if:
• systolic or diastolic pressure could not be measured (
or appears on the display)
• systolic or diastolic pressure was outside the measure­
ment range ("Hi" or "Lo" appears on the display)
• the cuff is fastened too tightly or loosely (
pears on the display)
• the pump pressure is higher than 300 mmHg (
pears on the display)
• pumping up takes longer than 160 seconds (
on the display)
• there is a system or device error (
appears on the display)
• the batteries are almost empty
In such cases, repeat the measurement. Ensure you do not
move or speak.
If necessary, re­insert or replace the batteries.
