Repeat measurement keeping arm still. If inflation of the cuff takes too long, the cuff is not correctly seated or the hose connection's not tight. Check connections and repeat

On other blood pressure monitors from Life Source, the error 3 means that the blood pressure cuff isn't inflating properly. The cuff could be incorrectly fastened or the air connector is backwards or not connected to the cuff or the monitor. Check this on your monitor.

I hope this helps.

Since that BP Monitor has a 5 year warranty. Your best bet is to contact HoMedics (the manufacturer) Customer Support @ 800-456-3342. That's assuming you replaced the old batteries with new one's out of a in date package and all are placed properly.

Please check with your instruction manual, it should explain the reason behind this "error 3"

Possible explanations and work-arounds based on various blood pressure monitors..net is if it has worked religiously like mine had and this error comes up, and the simple fixes below do not work, there is something internally wrong with the unit..there does not seem to be any customer reset or obvious fixes..

Error Description Potential cause and remedy

«Err 3» No pressure in the cuff

Hello there:
Normally if the blood pressure is too low you will have a error but this could be caused by the battery being low
So what i would suggest is to first double check the battery by taking it out of the monitor and pressing in the power button and holding it for 10 seconds this will clear the machine now put the battery back in and power up the unit ** note when using the monitor always make sure that the arm is crossed against the heart and that the machine is on the wrist properly and is facing the right way then try this ok?
Hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards Michael

E might represents insufficient inflation for your mom. For automatic inflation monitors usually there is a mechanism to keep inflating the cuff to higher pressures for people with higher BP. Check how is done. In some auto monitors,while cuff is inflated you keep pressing on START button until pressure reaches to some 15 to 20 mmHg higher than the pressure that auto usually stops and displays E.
