# Using the SAGA app for the first time
Follow the below steps to get up and running with your cuffs and the SAGA app. A video walkthrough is available in the [SAGA Quick Start](https://saga.fitness/pages/quick-start) guide.
1. Confirm your smart device meets the **minimum technical requirements** (BLE 4.0, and either iOS 15 or Android 5.0).
2. Download the SAGA app.
3. Ensure that your device's Bluetooth settting is switched **on**.
4. Open the SAGA app and complete the first-time BFR screening as directed.
5. Turn on the BFR cuffs by firmly pressing the power button on each module.
When turned on, the LED light will flash.
6. Pair the BFR cuffs with your device by following the in-app prompts.
Hold the BFR cuffs in close proximity to your smart device to enable detection. Once detected, the cuffs will appear as options to pair with in the app.
> Note that each cuff is initially given a default name with its serial number. You can rename the cuff by selecting it and navigating to **Rename**.
7. Calibrate the BFR cuffs
The calibration phase is where your limb occlusion pressure (LOP) is calculated. Follow the in-app prompts to successfully calibrate the cuffs. Only one cuff of the pair will inflate during calibration
8. Select either the default or custom occlusion percentage option.
9. Press **Begin Workout** to get started.
