About each mark

To perform a correct measurement, this unit provides a movement detection
function and an irregular pulse warning function. When the marks appear, the correct
measurement might not have been obtained. If any mark appears, it is recommended to
repeat the measurement. Stay calm and relax for four to five minutes, before performing
a new measurement.

Irregular pulse warning function
If the mark is displayed an irregular pulse rate is detected, which is not
necessarily caused by arrhythmia.
● Don't try to interpret readings or attempt to treat any condition yourself. Always
follow the guidance of a health professional.
● However if this mark continues to display, consult your physician.
Advice:
In general, blood pressure measurements are lower for the second measurement
because you are less nervous and are more tranquil. For people who easily get tense,
measuring twice each time is very effective. It is recommended to store all values
when performing two measurements or more. When taking two measurements,
always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the first measurement before taking the
second measurement.
