(where any number of cuffs can be controlled by connecting to a local Wi-Fi
signal).

hours before first use.

Wi-Fi Setup (Access Point Network) – Android
If you need to control just one BPSim™unit, setting up the cuff in “Access
Point Network” mode will enable it to broadcast its own Wi-Fi network.
Once connected to the signal, this will allow your Android device to control
the BPSim™cuff directly through the app.
1. Ensure that your Android device is either connected directly to
the BPSim™cuff’s Access Point Network, or to the same
Infrastructure Network as the BPSim™device.
2. Once connected, open the BPSim™app and touch the menu
button located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, then
touch [Configure].
3. Click on the gear icon next to the name of the BPSim™you
would like to configure.
