When you press SET once, you will see a human icon with A on it. If A is for husband and B for wife she will have to press SET again to see another icon with B below it

**** How to take readings accurately.****

Attach the air hose to the monitor
Wear the cuff on your left arm (if you are right handed)
The cuff should be 1 inch above the elbow
The hose should be a little off centre

Tighten the cuff snugly, not too tight; it should allow a finger to run underneath.
Initially when I used the monitor on several people I was getting lower values. Concerned if there is a problem with the machine or the method, I took it to a doctor who advised me to lie down when taking the readings. The device is sensitive to movements and lying down reduces them. Also, the level of heart and cuff is right in this position.

The readings taken from the conventional machine and this monitor matched more or less.

If you want accurate values you should lie down on your back.
Press START button .You will feel the cuff inflating and pressure building. Relax. When the pressure subsides, the monitor will display 3 values; systolic, diastolic pressures and pulse rate.
Normal values are 120, 80 and 72 respectively.
You can recall the records by pressing MEM again and again.
You can delete incorrect readings by pressing and holding MEM button.

I would have preferred a beep alert when the device displays the measurement.
So overall this is a useful device to monitor your BP.
Do express if you find this of any help!!

Stay happy, stay healthy.
