Jean, I'll answer both your questions that you posted separately. The change in sound you hear is caused by the monitor noting a change in how it's reading you BP. The error message is probably directly related to the change in sound. Errors are caused by several things:
The Cuff has been placed incorrectly. Cuff should be placed on the wrist, at least 1/2" above the heal of the hand.
Talking or movement of your wrist or arm during measurement. Measure again. Keep wrist steady during measurement.
Shaking of the wrist with Cuff on. Same as above.
Air circuit abnormality. Turn unit OFF and then Back ON and measure again
Inflation pressure exceeding 300mmHg. Switch the unit OFF and measure again.
Error determining measurement data. Wait 1 minute and measure again.
If you continue to have problems with the unit, it has a 5 year limited warranty ... Contact HoMedics Customer Support 800-466-3342.
Hope this helps answer your 2 questions and helps to solve the problem for you.
