2.2Setting the Date and Time
Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 21 measurements values, including date and time of measurement, in its memory and calculates an average value based on the three most recent measurements taken within 10 minutes of the last reading. (If there are only two readings in memory for that period, the average will be based on two readings. If there is only one reading in memory for that period, that reading will be displayed as the average value.)
To make use of the memory and average values functions:
•Set the unit to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time.
•If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the date and time setting will need to be reset.
1. When the I/O button is pressed to turn the unit on for the first time after inserting batteries, the year digits (2005) will flash on the display.
2. Press the MEMORY button to advance the digits one at a time.
Notes:
• The range for the year setting is 2005 to 2030. If the year reaches 2030, it will return to 2005.
•If you hold down the MEMORY button, the digits will advance rapidly.
