If the OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app prompted you to turn on location services and you denied the request, you will have to turn on location services to sync with the monitor. To tell the OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app that it has permission to access locations, go to:

iOS: (Required for background data transfer only.)
Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Tap on “OMRON connect” app and turn ON Location

Android:
Settings -> Location -> App permissions -> Tap on “OMRON connect” app and turn ON Location

Note: The exact path may vary depending on your smart device.

Auto-sync will be turned ON automatically when a blood pressure monitor is paired with the app. Sync will start upon launching app, if auto-sync is ON in “Connected Devices” screen.

To turn off auto sync in the app, tap on plus (+) menu, go to Profile → Connected Devices. Each device will have an option for Auto Sync. Simply tap “Off” button to turn auto-sync off.

If you take a reading before pairing your Body Composition Monitor and Scale with Bluetooth (BCM-500) to your smart device, the data will not be uploaded to the OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app. You must pair your monitor with your smart device first for the app to gather and retain data.

You cannot log out from the app if data transfer is in progress. Wait until the data transfer is complete before logging out.

Readings are transferred to the app within 5 to 15 seconds depending on the data to be transferred. However, it can take up to a minute for an error message to be displayed if manual transfer is unsuccessful. You will not see any error for auto sync.

The sync animation means that the app is trying to transfer readings from the monitor if the Auto-Sync feature is ON. If the sync animation keeps rotating and does not stop, even after a minute, just close the app and launch it again. (If you have only one device paired, the time may be longer depending on the number of devices paired with the app).

Alternatively, you can turn off the Auto-Sync feature in “Connected Devices” screen.

Currently, you cannot change the account email in the app.

You cannot read your past insight messages if you have not subscribed for the premium services. However, if you are a subscribed user, you can read your past insight messages by navigating to the insights screen from the bottom menu bar.

You can turn off the insight notifications by navigating to Profile -> App settings -> and turning the “Notifications” option OFF.

OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA does not track or store your location information.

If you’re pairing or syncing your monitor with an iOS/Android device, you may be prompted to turn on location services. Location access is required by Google to perform Bluetooth communication. Google changed its permission requirements beginning with Android OS 6.0. As a result, the locations permission is necessary to sync your OMRON monitors with your Android device. For more information visit the link below:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id

For iOS, location permission is required to support iBeacon functionality of OMRON blood pressure monitors. With this capability, your readings will be transferred to the application without opening the application.
If you deny location services, the app will not be able to sync data from the monitor.

If you would like to manually calculate your lean body mass you can do so by subtracting your body fat in pounds from your total body weight. You can determine the amount of body fat in pounds by multiplying your weight by the body fat percentage. For example, a 200lb person with 20% body fat would have 40 lbs of fat (200 X .20). His lean body mass would then be 200-40= 160lbs.

OMRON’s Fat Loss Monitor with Scale estimates the body fat percentage by using the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) Method. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conducts electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electrical conductivity. The Fat Loss Monitor with Scale sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less and 500 µA through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Fat Loss Monitor with Scale.

The process for changing the mode of readings is unique to your model. Please check your instruction manual or contact our support representatives at (866) 216-1333. If you need an electronic copy of your manual please click here for a list of manuals available for download.

While some other devices and operating systems may have worked in the past or on occasion, new updates may prevent them from working in the future.

The BCM-500 is clinically validated for accuracy of Visceral Fat Level, Body Fat Percentage, Skeletal Muscle Percentage and Resting Metabolism.

Set your monitor on a hard flat surface. Placing it on carpet or a mat can effect accuracy. Step onto your monitor with your bare feet and place the arches of your feet onto the center of the monitor. Wearing socks or footwear can result in an inaccurate measurement. Also, do not bend y our knees during measurement to assure accuracy.
