3.5 Irregular Heartbeat Detection
When the device detects an irregular heartbeat, or any excessive body movement
during the measurement, the symbol will appear and flash when the blood pressure
measurement is displayed. It is important that you be relaxed, remain still and do not talk
during measurement. If the symbol appears frequently (e.g. several times a week), it
may be an indication of a more serious heart problem, and you should consult your doctor.

The bars on the left hand side of the display show you the range within which the indicated blood pressure
values lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline
(yellow/orange) or danger (red) range.
The classification is based on standards adopted from WHO (World Health Organization); which is recognized
by Hypertension Canada.
The indicator bar rises according to your measurement.
