NOTE: If you are too active for the watch to get a pulse
oximeter reading, a message appears instead of a
percentage. You can check again after several minutes of
inactivity. For best results, hold the arm wearing the device at
heart level while the device reads your blood oxygen
saturation.

try these tips.
• Remain motionless while the device reads your blood oxygen
saturation.
• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should
be snug but comfortable.
• Hold the arm wearing the device at heart level while the
device reads your blood oxygen saturation.
• Use a silicone band.
• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device.
• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under
the device.
