3.Using the Unit

• 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 icon. If the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat icon ( ) is shown after you have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the irregular heartbeat icon is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.
