Upon first use or after battery depletion, you may need to set the date and time. Refer to the full manual for detailed instructions on using the Set Button to navigate and adjust these settings.

3.4 Cuff Placement

Correct cuff placement is crucial for accurate readings. The wrist cuff is designed for wrists measuring 13.5cm to 19.5cm (5 3/8 - 7 2/3 inches).
