Setting the date, time, and measurement units
It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure monitor, so that a time stamp can be assigned to each record that is stored in the memory.
To set the date, time, and measurement unit:
1.Press and hold SET for 2 seconds to enter the setting mode.
The setting order is as follows: 12/24 hour format, hour, minute, year month/day or day/month format, month, date, and measurement unit (mmHg or kPa).
Note: Select the measurement unit most applicable for your region. mmHg is used worldwide, including the United States and most of Europe. kPa is primarily used in the People's Republic of China.
2.Press MEM / UP to increase a value or change the setting.
3.Press SET to accept the change and switch to the next setting.
4.To exit the setup menu anytime, press ON.
