Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Remove the batteries and insert them again
- Who:
- you, with the Inserting batteries section of the manual open.
- How:
- open only the battery compartment, take all the batteries out and put them back respecting the marked polarity. Close the cover and switch the device on with the power button to see whether Err254 stays on the screen.
- Result that matters:
- Err254 disappearing and the device starting up normally.
- If the device starts without the code:
- the restart with the batteries cleared the message.
- If Err254 keeps appearing:
- check the state of the batteries.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the display with Err254 before and after reinserting the batteries.

Check battery polarity and condition
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- make sure each battery faces the way the signs in the compartment show and that the low battery symbol is not displayed. If needed, use new batteries of the type the manual states and switch on again.
- Result that matters:
- knowing whether the power supply was behind the message.
- If with fresh, correctly oriented batteries the code does not return:
- the origin was the power supply.
- If the same code stays with new batteries:
- contact customer support.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the open compartment with the batteries oriented and a note of their type.

Try a measurement with the restarted device
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- after inserting batteries in good condition, put the cuff on as the manual describes, sit still and take a full measurement without speaking. Note whether the code reappears at switch-on or during inflation.
- Result that matters:
- confirming that the device works all the way through without Err254 returning.
- If the measurement ends normally:
- the message was a one-off.
- If the code appears again at switch-on:
- stop using the device and consult customer support.
- Evidence to keep:
- notes of when the code appeared and a photo of the display at that moment.

What it means
Braun's instruction manual for the ExactFit 2 (BUA4050EU) lists Err254 as a device internal error and asks you to remove and reinsert the batteries and, if the problem persists, to contact customer support. It gives the same remedy for Err255, a calibration error. Other Braun models may differ, and the code alone does not prove a part is faulty. If your health worries you, see your doctor, because no device message stands in for medical advice.
