Normal	< 120	and < 80
Elevated	120-129	and < 80
Hypertension Stage 1	130-139	or 80-89
Hypertension Stage 2	≥ 140	or ≥ 90

Note: Hypertension indicator lights if reading exceeds 135/85 mmHg (home monitoring guideline). Irregular heartbeat symbol appears if irregular rhythm detected during measurement.

Memory Function
