Set Up Steps

pre-installed, but there is a plastic
guard in the battery door that will
need to be removed. Simply pull
the tab and the batteries will
provide power.

Be sure the hose connector is fully
inserted into the BPM device. Put
on the cuff and press the [Start/
Stop] button to begin
Tenovi BPM Tips & Error Codes
Cuff tips:
- 1. These cuffs are designed to work best on your LEFT arm with bare skin, not over clothing (pic)
- 2. These do not need to be worn super tight. We suggest wrapping the Cough around your upper arm snugly, but there should be enough room to easily slide your index finger down in between the Cough and your arm without forcing it (pic)
- 3. Align it properly. To ensure proper placement, we recommend lightly holding the hose in between your pinky and ring finger and having the hose follow the inside of your arm. This will make sure the sensor is in the correct place (pic)
- 4. Cough will inflate and you should see your reading when it is finished. Your Gateway will beep and turn green.

Gateway Basics
Getting Started
- 1. Connect the Gateway power cord to an electrical outlet.
- 2. Plug the Gateway power cord into the Gateway
- 3. The Gateway LED will first flash PURPLE for up to 10 minutes.
This means that the Gateway is trying to connect to a cell tower. Once connected to a cellular network, the Gateway will turn RED. If it goes RED and back to PURPLE , it’s looking for the strongest signal. The Gateway will go from PURPLE to BLUE if it can’t find a signal.
Taking A Measurement
- 1. Take a measurement with the Tenovi device(s) included with the Gateway.
- 2. When the Gateway is RED it’s ready for you to take your daily measurement. The Gateway LED will turn YELLOW while a measurement is being taken, and will flash GREEN when the measurement has been successfully transmitted.
- 3. The LED will remain GREEN for the remainder of the day, however you can take as many additional readings as necessary and all readings will transmit.
- 4. The LED will revert back to RED everyday at midnight, acting as a reminder to take a reading every day.
