3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On/Off
- Power On: Insert your finger into the device. The oximeter will automatically power on and begin measurement.
- Power Off: Remove your finger from the device. The oximeter will automatically power off after approximately 5 seconds of inactivity.
3.2 Taking a Measurement
- Ensure the device is charged.
- Open the clamp and place one of your fingers (preferably the index finger) into the rubber opening of the oximeter. Ensure your finger is placed correctly, with the nail facing upwards.
- Release the clamp. The device will automatically power on and begin measuring.
- Keep your hand still during measurement. Movement can affect accuracy.
- The display will show your SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) and Pulse Rate (PR) readings within a few seconds.

3.3 Understanding the Display
The OLED display shows your SpO2 percentage, pulse rate (bpm), and a pulse bar graph. The perfusion index (PI) may also be displayed, indicating the strength of the pulsatile blood flow.
3.4 Threshold Reminder
You can set custom thresholds for SpO2 and pulse rate. If your readings fall below or exceed these thresholds, the oximeter will beep and flash the numbers, providing an immediate alert.

3.5 Adjustable Display Duration
The screen display duration can be adjusted to be continuously on or automatically turn off after 1, 3, or 5 minutes to conserve battery life. This setting can typically be adjusted via the device's menu or the connected app.
