Operating Instructions

- Activate Device: Press the power button once to turn on the device.
- Remain Still: Keep your hand and finger still during the measurement. Any movement can cause inaccurate readings or reset the device.
- Read Results: After a few seconds, your SpO2 percentage and pulse rate (PRbpm) will be displayed on the LED screen. The pulse bar indicates the pulse and signal strength; ensure it is above 30% for the most accurate measurement.
- Power Off: The device will automatically power off after approximately 8 seconds of inactivity. You can also press and hold the power button to turn it off manually.
