2 Battery Installation Figure 3 Battery Installation 1. Refer to Figure 3, insert two AAA size batteries into the battery compartment properly, and note the polarity markings. 2. Replace the cover. • Please make sure that the batteries are correctly installed.
3 External SpO Probe Connection Connect the external SpO probe to SpO sensor connector as shown below. Ensure the “Arrow” faces upwards. Figure 4 Probe Connection(For PC-60E, 60N, 60NW) Note: When the external SpO probe is connected, the built-in finger clip sensor will be disabled. The measurement is detected from the external SpO probe.

The model PC-60B3 may have different options for manual switching display direction by button or automatic changing display direction by orientation sensor (similar to the model PC-60C1). For PC-60E, PC-60N and PC-60NW, when change display direction, PI value will automatically display on the device instead of PR value, PR value will restore after 20 seconds.

“Wireless” function is enabled. Wireless icon of POD-1W (the number of lines indicates signal intensity ) Data transmission The user could effectively transmit the data to computer through the wireless function. Refer to the “Oximeter Data Manager” for detailed information. Attention to the operation The finger should be put into the sensor correctly.

because of not enough acceleration. Consequently the response of orientation detection would be delayed. Acceleration needs to be provided to the orientation-sensor for quick sensing the orientation change. Nail polish may affect the measuring accuracy, and too long fingernail may cause failure of measurement or inaccurate result.

Low Perfusion Performance: The accuracy of SpO and PR measurement still meet the precision described above when the modulation amplitude is as low as 0.6%. K. Ambient Light Interference: The difference between the SpO value measured in the condition of indoor natural light and that of darkroom...
6 Repair and Maintenance 6.1 Maintenance The expected service life (not a warranty) of this device is 5 years. In order to ensure its long service life, please pay attention to the maintenance. Please change the batteries when the low-voltage indicator lightens.
If it is necessary to verify the precision of the oximeter routinely, the user can do the verification by means of simulator, or it can be done by the local third party test house. Please note that the specific calibration curve (so called R-curve) should be selected when use of SpO simulator, e.g.
7 Troubleshooting Problem: 1. The SpO and Pulse Rate display instable 2. Can not turn on the device 3. No display direction doesn’t change or changes insensitively. Display 5. No display of the wireless icon “ ” Solution 1. Place the finger correctly inside and try again. 2.
