measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) will appear on the
display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25%
more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the
systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) displays with your measurement
results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions
of your physician.
Movement Error Symbol ( )
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm
cuff, and wait 2-3 minutes. Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.
