indicates that certain heartbeat/pulse ir-

case the results may not be accurate. It’s suggested that
you consult with your physician for accurate assessment.

Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the
measurement can result in the appearance of this symbol.

Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest
at least 5 minutes between measurements and not talk
or move during the measurement. If the icon continues
to be displayed in subsequent readings, we recommend
you to consult your physician in order to determine if it is
cause for concern. Do not try to interpret readings or at-
tempt to treat any condition yourself. Always follow the
guidance of a health professional. If you have an emer-
gency, call 911 immediately.
