Hi Kim... I did not buy this HRM as my first choice because I tried to "go cheap" and only wanted an HRM with no frills. First one ordered did not work, and the instruction leaflet (4 pages) was in "cryptic" English. SO... based on years of excellent service from an Omron BP Cuff device, I went to this device next. It is user friendly, AND it comes with a small DETAILED & well-written booklet (24 pages) of information that literally walks you through every feature of this device. I'm happy with this HRM and would buy the same brand again should anything happen while exercising that should accidentally break my HRM. Hope this helps. Hi Kim...

I do NOT use all of the fancy stuff like hi and lo alarms, I just put it on and watch my heart rate. It cant be any easier. It goes something like this. I wet the inside of the monitor so it gets a better read from my skin. Then i put the watch on. Then i press the red button on the lower right. then I read the numbers. It is just that easy. Enjoy.

Pretty much. There is nothing too complicated about getting them set up. :-)

Yes. It takes a few minutes but it's not too hard to set it up solo. Sometimes I prefer to set it up solo...

Nope. I found it unusable. I'm sorry I wasted the money. Must be set up each time you use it.

There is a manual that provides a little help, but you're pretty much on your own. However if you have a basic understanding of gagets the setup is fairly easy. Both units I purchased required no setup, the default settings work ok. If for some reason you want to change the setup, a little experimentation is all that is needed.

Yes, pretty easy. It has a lot of "possible" connections on the back to allow for different system types. But everything is labeled clearly and explained in the instructions.

yes it is very easy to set up read directions which are easy to understand and it will take less than 5 min to set up.

Sorry I can't help, purchased this for my nephew and didn't set it up myself. He did tell me last week that he still liked it and apparently it is working OK.

Hi Kelli. It wasn't that hard to set up but took about 2 hours. The directions are pretty well done. My son and I did it together. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. We used it for about 3 weeks and totally fell apart. It is pretty junky. I ended up sending it back in pieces and getting a refund.

Hi alice, I don't even know how to set up. It didn't have any instructions with it. sorry but maybe you can help me

The term "easy" is relative. I would recommend downloading the manual to obtain a good understanding of the install and setup procedures. But, the average person shouldn't have that much of a problem if instructions are read and followed carefully. Rule of thumb: just don't connect and reconnect while any of the components are on! Turn them off and check connections before turning anything on. If in doubt, hire a professional.

Close! You'll do very minimal setup, but no tools are required and it only takes about one minute.

In my opinion, this is one of the easiest machines to set up I have ever encountered; althouh, if you are not tech inclined... every thing can somehow become hard! Not sure your case though

It is easy, just be careful with the wires, making sure they connect, can be frustrating if they don't, but the user manual is not 100% correct on install in regards to that, but otherwise just need a phillips and batteries.

If you are good with computers, you should try it. Its not that difficult to set up a router.Put in the CD and instructions will take you most of the way.If you aren't good, look it up online and attempt it before returning, as it doesn't hurt the product. Good luck...

I have not tried that so I can answer for you. I will say the set up is easy as it gets. Took 2 minutes, maybe less

I returned the one I bought because I couldn't figure out how to set it up, so I'm not the one to help with this. Good luck.
