The elevation scale. A graph of your average oxygen saturation readings for the last 24 hours. Your most recent oxygen saturation reading. The oxygen saturation percentage scale. A graph of your elevation readings for the last 24 hours. Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by viewing the pulse oximeter glance. The glance displays your most recent blood oxygen saturation percentage, a graph of your hourly average readings for the last 24 hours, and a graph of your elevation for the last 24 hours. NOTE: The first time you view the pulse oximeter glance, the watch must acquire satellite signals to determine your elevation. You should go outside, and wait while the watch locates satellites. 1 While you are sitting or inactive, press UP or DOWN to view the pulse oximeter glance. 2 Press START to view glance details and begin a pulse oximeter reading. 3 Remain motionless for up to 30 seconds. 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 watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. 4 Press DOWN to view a graph of your pulse oximeter readings for the last seven days. Setting the Pulse Oximeter Mode 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Sensors & Accessories > Pulse Oximeter > Pulse Ox Mode. 3 Select an option: • To turn off automatic measurements, select Manual Check. • To turn on continuous measurements while you sleep, select During Sleep. NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings. • To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day. NOTE: Turning on All Day mode decreases battery life. Tips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips. • Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. • Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable. • Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. • Use a silicone or nylon band. • Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch. • Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch. • Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch. • Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout.
