Can this be used for continuous monitoring, or do you have to push the button every time you want a reading?

If you keep it on your finger it provide constant monitoring. Don't need to push button.

it will stay on for less then a min. and keep reading as your pulse ox changes

No, never. But I have never forced it. If you keep it to monitoring purposes, it has worked for me.

Yes you can, when you push the button then you get a time lapse for a brief 3 seconds then it jumps back into the heart rate

Yes. The key is in pressing the light blue memory button on the BP monitor, AFTER printing the first readout. If you need multiple readings from multiple days, hit the print button on the printer following each press of the memory button.

No, when the mode button is pushed the watch will vibrate. This a feature intended to notify uses that they have indeed changed the mode.

Yes, if it says push on/off like this on here (if it says momentary switch it stays on until you lift your finger)

The scanner operates in trigger mode by default, there is a barcode in the manual you can scan to set it to continuous, and another barcode to set it back.

I would think so. It easily picks up differences in voice levels even at conversational volumes. Although you won't get any sort of continuous read out as you have to depress a button for it to take a reading if I recall.

only if programed to do so. the one I have has 8 times to turn on and off at a certain time. It does have a bypass button to test pump.

You would have to hold down the main button whenever you wanted to track it... It won't continuously track it for you

It could be used continuously but it would be difficult during exercise as it is held on by friction. The app records, however, only the last reading. You could write an app that theoretically talks to it to continuously record but iHealth would need to release an API

Yes, you push a button to speak. However, you could buy a transformer and leave it on all the time for monitoring. If you had only batteries it would deplete them too quickly.

It does have a hold function button in any mode, but it is a manual mode. So it wont catch the high or low reading on its own and hold it. You have to manually push the button when you want it to hold the reading.

Of course. Push the blue button before you start taking your BP, and it opens a screen where you read the BP and the pulse. You can keep it always open if you want to do so.

It simply slides over your finger. You push the button and is provides a snapshot reading in a couple seconds and not continuous.

I've found that it can be very temperamental and if the sensor and pick-up are not close enough together or lined up properly then it will not give you a reading. But with occasional small adjustments mine works every time.
