Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings

You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading on your device at any time. The accuracy of these readings can vary based on your blood flow, the device placement on your wrist, and your stillness.

  1. Wear the device above your wrist bone.

    The device should be snug but comfortable.

  2. Press Device menu symbol to view the menu.
  3. Select Heart rate menu symbol > Pulse ox symbol.
  4. Hold the arm wearing the device at heart level while the device reads your blood oxygen saturation.
  5. Keep still.

The device displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage.
