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 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.
