2. Start Measurement: Press the power button once. The device will automatically begin measuring your SpO2 and pulse rate.
3. Read Results: Wait approximately 8 seconds for the readings to stabilize. The SpO2 value and pulse rate will be displayed on the OLED screen.
4. View Perfusion Index (PI): While the device is on and measuring, long-press the power button for 3 seconds to switch the display to show the Perfusion Index (PI). Long-press again to return to SpO2 and Pulse Rate display.
5. Automatic Power Off: The device will automatically power off after 8 seconds of inactivity or when the finger is removed.

6.1 Warning Function

The device features a warning function where the screen flashes if oxygen levels or pulse rates fall outside predefined ranges:

• SpO2 Warning: The screen flashes if SpO2 falls below 90%.
• Pulse Rate Warning: The screen flashes if Pulse Rate is below 35 bpm or above 100 bpm.
