The appearance of this symbol, , signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during the measurement. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the mea- surement can result in the appearance of this icon. Usually this is not a cause for concern, however if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

To stop a reading in process, press the "START/STOP" button.
