If your systolic blood pressure is 130 mmHg or higher, and/or your diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg or higher, the Hypertension Indicator symbol (a heart with a 'HIGH' text) will appear on the display after the measurement. This indicates a potentially elevated blood pressure reading.
5.5. Irregular Heartbeat Detection
If the monitor detects an irregular heartbeat two or more times during a measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (a heart icon with wavy lines) will appear on the display with your measurement values. If this symbol appears frequently, consult your physician.
