• You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist. Refer to 2.3 about how to
modify the settings.

same arm for measurement. If the values between the two arms differ substantially, please
check with your physician which arm to use for your measurement.

• Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular heartbeat
feature. Irregular heartbeats can influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically
determines if the measurement is usable or needs to be repeated.
If the measurement results are affected by irregular heartbeats but
the result is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular
heartbeat symbol ( ). If the irregular heartbeats cause the
measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the irregular
heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown after you have taken a
measurement, repeat the measurement. If the irregular heartbeat
symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.

3.4 Using the Memory Function
The monitor automatically stores the result up to 90 sets each for both user A and B. It can also
calculate an average reading based on the measurements from the last three readings taken
within 10 minutes. If there are only two readings in memory for that period, the average will be
based on two readings. If there is one reading in memory for that period, the average will be
based on one reading.
Notes:
• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.
