Irregular heart beat detector (for BP5900PH-EMEA only)

during the measurement. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the
measurement can result in the appearance of this icon. Usually this is not a cause for concern,
however if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. The device does
not replace a cardiac examination, but service to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

When the low battery indicator ashes on the display, it means the battery is low and
the four batteries need to be replaced with alkaline LR6 (AA) batteries.

last measurement time on screen. Please set the current date / time before taking the next
measurement to get correct average result.
