5. Operating Instructions
- Open the oximeter by pressing the bottom part.
- Place your child's finger into the rubber opening of the oximeter. Ensure the finger is fully inserted and resting flat.
- Press the power button (the panda's nose) once to turn on the device.
- Keep the finger still while the device takes a reading. Results for SpO2, PR, and the pulse bar graph will appear on the screen.
- To change the display mode, briefly press the power button while the device is on. There are 6 display modes available.
- To adjust screen brightness, press and hold the power button for more than one second.
- The device will automatically shut off after 8 seconds if no finger is detected.

6. Display Modes and Readings
The OLED display provides clear and easy-to-read information:
- SpO2 (%): Blood Oxygen Saturation level.
- PR (bpm): Pulse Rate in beats per minute.
- Plethysmograph: A waveform indicating pulse signal strength. A stable, consistent waveform indicates a good reading.
- Battery Indicator: Shows remaining battery life.

7. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol or a mild disinfectant. Do not immerse the device in liquid.
- Storage: Store the oximeter in its carrying pouch in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods.
- Avoid Damage: Do not drop the device or expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
8. Troubleshooting
- Inaccurate Reading: Cold hands, poor circulation, movement, fingernail polish, or acrylic nails can affect accuracy. Ensure the finger is warm, still, and free of polish.
- SpO2 Not Changing / Stuck: SpO2 readings typically change slower than pulse rate. If the signal is unstable, the screen may display "?". Keep the hand still and retry.
- No Battery Indicator: The battery indicator only appears when the battery level is low.
- Pulse Rate Changing Rapidly: Heart rate can fluctuate with emotions, excitement, and exercise.
- Battery Compartment Springs: Ensure the plus/minus signs engraved on the battery casing match the direction of the springs when inserting batteries.
