Troubleshooting
- Data Sync Issues: Ensure your Oura Ring is charged and within Bluetooth range of your paired smartphone. Check your phone's Bluetooth settings and the Oura App for connectivity status. Restarting both the ring (by placing it on the charger for a few seconds) and the app can often resolve sync problems.
- Inaccurate Readings: Verify that your Oura Ring is worn on the correct finger (preferably the index finger) and that the fit is snug but comfortable. An improper fit can affect sensor accuracy. Ensure the sensors on the inside of the ring are clean and free from debris.
- Charging Problems: Confirm that the charger and USB cable are securely connected. Try using a different USB port or power adapter. If the ring is not charging, ensure there is no debris obstructing the charging contacts on both the ring and the charger.
- App Functionality: If the Oura App is not responding or crashing, try force-closing and reopening the app. Ensure your app is updated to the latest version available in your app store.
