Install the Garmin Connect app, add the device via Add Device, then enter the 6-digit code shown on the Index BPM to pair. Wi‑Fi setup (2.4 GHz b/g/n, WPA2) is done through the app after pairing. Only the personal smartphone used for pairing can manage Wi‑Fi networks.
Is this answer helpful?
Error codes include E1–E10 indicating issues like no detection, cuff inflation failures, timeouts, or upload problems. Basic fixes: remove and reapply the cuff, ensure correct fit and arm positioning, replace batteries if low, restart the device, and verify Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
Is this answer helpful?
You can invite up to 15 secondary users through Garmin Connect. The device supports single (1X) or triple (3X) consecutive measurements to calculate an average. Measurements upload automatically to paired Garmin Connect accounts when connected.
Is this answer helpful?
The device uses four AAA alkaline batteries. Typical battery life is up to nine months, depending on usage. Replace with correct alkaline batteries only, observe polarity, and remove batteries if storing the device for more than three months.
Is this answer helpful?
Yes. Do not use the device if you have a pacemaker, during pregnancy with certain complications, or on the same limb as another monitoring device. Maintain recommended separation from portable RF transmitters to avoid electromagnetic interference; follow the manual's RF and EMC guidance.

Product Description
Garmin Index BPM Smartes Blutdruckmessgerät Manual
The Garmin Index BPM Smart Blood Pressure Monitor blends modern connectivity with straightforward blood pressure measurement. Designed for adults with upper arm circumferences between 22 and 42 cm, this tubeless oscillometric device delivers systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings with clinical-grade accuracy (±3 mmHg or ±2%). Its compact design, 1.3-inch OLED display, and simple cuff system make it easy to position on the upper arm and use in a home setting. Measurements can be taken as a single reading or as a set of three consecutive readings to compute an average, and the cuff inflates and deflates automatically for user convenience.
Smart features include Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 and optional Wi‑Fi b/g/n (2.4 GHz) for automatic upload to Garmin Connect, where users can store readings, add notes, invite secondary users (up to 15), and manage reminders. Pairing requires the Garmin Connect app and a 6-digit device code for secure bonding; only one smartphone may remain connected at a time. Wi‑Fi setup and management are handled through the app and support up to seven stored networks with WPA2 security.
Safety and proper usage are emphasized throughout: the device is intended for adults 18–75 and not for pregnant users with pre-eclampsia, pacemaker recipients, or children. Measurements are for reference only and not a medical diagnosis — users must consult physicians for treatment or medication adjustments. Battery-powered by four AAA alkaline cells, the Index BPM offers up to nine months of typical battery life and recommends removing batteries for long-term storage. The device includes clear battery warnings, disposal guidance, and a one-year limited warranty.
Operational guidance covers positioning the cuff at heart level, relaxing for five minutes before measuring, avoiding food, smoking, or exercise beforehand, and using the same arm and consistent timing for repeat measurements. Troubleshooting and error codes (E1–E10, and others) are provided for common issues like failed inflation, leaks, timeouts, or sync errors. Maintenance instructions advise gentle cleaning with mild detergent, avoiding extreme temperatures or shocks, and removing batteries for storage beyond three months.
Technical specs: measurement ranges (systolic 60–250 mmHg, diastolic 40–180 mmHg), cuff pressure range to 280 mmHg, device weight ~280 g (without batteries), typical BLE range <30 ft, Wi‑Fi range <100 ft, and expected service life of three years. Regulatory and electromagnetic compatibility, RF exposure (SAR compliance), and disposal/recycling instructions are outlined to ensure safe home use.
Notes
- Not a diagnostic tool; consult a physician for clinical interpretation.
- Use only recommended batteries and dispose of them per local regulations.
- Secure pairing and WPA2 Wi‑Fi recommended for data privacy.
- Keep portable RF devices at recommended separation distances to avoid interference.
