Setup

1. Sizing Your Oura Ring 4

The Oura Ring 4 uses a unique sizing system that differs from standard jewelry rings. It is crucial to determine your correct size for optimal performance and accuracy. If you have not already, use an Oura Ring 4 Sizing Kit to find your perfect fit before purchasing the ring.

1. Try on multiple sizes: Use the sizing kit to try on different ring sizes.
2. Wear for 24 hours: Wear the chosen size for at least 24 hours to ensure comfort and proper fit throughout the day and night, as finger size can fluctuate.
3. Find your most comfortable fit: Select the size that feels secure but not too tight, allowing for slight swelling.

For best performance and accuracy, it is recommended to wear the Oura Ring on your index finger.

2. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge your Oura Ring 4. Connect the provided USB cable to the charger and a power source. Place the Oura Ring onto the charger. The indicator light on the charger will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes approximately 80 minutes.

3. App Download and Setup

Download the Oura App from the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices). Follow the in-app instructions to pair your Oura Ring 4 with your smartphone and complete the initial setup. This process will guide you through creating an account and personalizing your settings.

Water Resistance

The Oura Ring 4 is water resistant up to 100 meters (IPX7 rating). This means it can be worn during activities like swimming, showering, and washing hands. However, prolonged exposure to hot water, chemicals, or high-pressure water jets should be avoided to maintain its integrity.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Ring

To maintain hygiene and optimal sensor performance, clean your Oura Ring regularly. Use mild soap and water to gently clean the ring, especially the sensor area on the inside. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or sensors.

Charging Best Practices

Charge your Oura Ring using the provided charger and USB cable. It is recommended to charge the ring when the battery level is low, rather than letting it fully deplete. Avoid exposing the charger or ring to extreme temperatures during charging.

Troubleshooting

• Ring not syncing with app:

  Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the Oura Ring is within range. Check if the Oura App is updated to the latest version. Restart both your phone and the ring (by placing it on the charger for a few seconds and then removing it).

• Inaccurate data readings:

  Verify that the ring is worn on the correct finger (preferably the index finger) and fits snugly but comfortably. Ensure the sensors on the inside of the ring are clean and free from debris. Allow the ring a few days to calibrate to your body after initial setup or significant changes in routine.

• Battery draining quickly:

  While the Oura Ring 4 offers up to 8 days of battery life, actual duration can vary with usage. If you experience significantly reduced battery life, ensure the ring is fully charged. If the issue persists, contact Oura customer support.
