6. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AN
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you
should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AN will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 5 on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.

«ERR 1» Signal too The pulse signals on the cuff are too
weak weak. Re-position the cuff and repeat
the measurement.*
«ERR 2» Error signal During the measurement, error signals

if necessary. Repeat the measurement.
«ERR 5» Abnormal The measuring signals are inaccurate
result and no result can therefore be displayed.
Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements and
then repeat the measurement.*
«HI» Pulse or cuff The pressure in the cuff is too high (over
pressure too 299 mmHg) OR the pulse is too high
high (over 200 beats per minute). Relax for 5
minutes and repeat the measurement.*
«LO» Pulse too The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats
low per minute). Repeat the measurement.*
