When it says "takes average reading of last 3 in 10 minutes--does that mean you press button once then wait for it to take BP reading 3 x in a row?

no, it means that if you opt to take multiple readings back to back then it will take the average of the last 3 runs you took over the last 10 mintues.
47517
Maria, take three readings in the ten minutes and THEN push memory to get your average.

Yes. But you will be better of calling the MFR and get the machine reset to give you just one reading. The time that lapses between the 3 reading is not enough to call it average.

Hi Robyn, It reads per page and then it states to turn the page and then is when you press the button again it is really a great toy my grandson loves this toy, it is cuddle and my grandsons follow along with the words in the booklet as it reads the words to the story, I am very glad I bought it for my grandsons and my grandaughter I bought the purple one Violet same as Scott she loves it and will sit by herself and will have Violet read to her per page and would try and say the words with Violet even tough per page you need to press the button again it is worth it the results this toy gives hope my answer was helpful

Point to the head and click the button should read right away. On the elderly I find it takes a few seconds longer. If you are having an issue with the time change your batteries. If still having trouble, exchange your unit. Just because it is a good unit doesn't mean there isn't a dud in a batch. Hope this helps

It depends on several factors, what you have eaten, the position of your arm resting, your emotions during the time of taking your blood pressure, and mostimportant relax and take it again in about 20 minutes. If you are still getting different readings - take someone else's blood pressure - if the problem continues it may be the machine - but unlikely it is one of the best on the market. I have no problem with mine.

In my experience it is done taking the reading in around 20 - 30 seconds but I didn't have a good experience as my readings were all wrong. I know this because every plant I put it in even the crusty dirt plants got the same "wet" reading. I returned mine and am using the finger method which is 100% more accurate and free! You aren't supposed to leave it in the plant.

When you bring it near the forehead, you have to take the reading immediately. If you move it first, the reading will be off. My experience is that, when you take the reading immediately, it is consistent.

I have had no BP reading problems. When I purchased the unit my doctor asked me to bring it in on my next visit so she could check the calibration, it was fine. Now I bring in once a year for a reading calibration check and back up battery change. My Dr's like that I bring a summery chart of my daily Bp's to my visits. Because of this extra information my Bp issues were brought under control.

the variation may not be that off... you can never get 2 bp's exactly the same, and often times people get a bit nervous with the second check, resulting in a higher number. you should wait several minutes between checks as subsequent checks are also higher than the previous. Looks like normal variation.

Sorry for the looooooooooong delay in answering - It repeats for a about 1 minute. Hope you bought it - It works GREAT and the four timing options are very useful.

It only shows the max value for each instantaneous moment in time. If you're not in "max mode", it will read each moment's value; hence, it fluctuates "changes too quickly" to get the general reading you may be looking for.

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

Yes! That's exactly what this one does. It skips ahead in increments of 30 seconds, and back in increments of 7 seconds. Very useful!

Its supposed to turn off, and reset to zero after a period on non use. The top reading will reset to zero, the bottom reading will not, and is cumulative.

Be sure that you are in the same position and have been there for the same time when you take BP. If I'm relaxed in my recliner for 15 minutes I get much better readings

Mine seems fairly accurate yet sometimes takes 4 or 5 tries before giving me a reading. Also, very occasionally I get a "high" reading (like 156) that I know is wrong. So I just wait a minute and re-check. This happens very on very seldom occasions.

You don't have to hold the button. You just press the button and it automatically calculates an average weight over a period of time. Something like 10 seconds. I don't remember exactly.

The MIN/MAX button on the right shows 3 temperatures, high for the day, low for the day and current. Maybe you need to push the button to get to the current indoor reading :o)
