6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the oximeter with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol. Do not immerse the device in water or other cleaning solutions.

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your pulse oximeter, refer to the following common solutions:

• Device does not turn on:
  • Check that the batteries are correctly installed with the proper polarity.
  • Ensure the batteries are charged. Replace them if necessary.
  • Clean the battery contacts if they appear dirty.
• Inaccurate or inconsistent readings:
  • Ensure your finger is fully inserted into the device.
  • Remain still and avoid movement during measurement.
  • Ensure your hand and finger are warm. Cold fingers can affect accuracy.
  • Remove any nail polish, especially dark colors, as it can block the sensor.
  • Avoid bright external light directly on the sensor. The shading design helps, but extreme light can interfere.
