Preparing for a Measurement

Make sure you follow these guidelines before taking a measurement:

• Ensure you are seated with elbows on the table and your feet flat on the floor.
• Don't speak or move during recording (especially your finger).
• Ensure your finger is clean but not overly dry.
• Ensure your finger is not scarred or calloused at the point of contact.
  Note: You can use any finger for the measurement so long as it covers the sensor completely.
• Wait at least 10 minutes after waking up or working out before taking your measurement.
• Ensure you and the BeamO are in the same ambient temperature for 10 minutes before taking your measurement.
• Ensure you are at least 1.5 feet from any power outlets or large electronic devices (such as computers, tvs, etc).
• Do not take a measurement on a premature baby.
