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 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.
• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the device.
• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout.
Maximizing Battery Life
• Decrease the screen brightness and timeout (Appearance Settings, page 21).
• Reduce wrist gesture sensitivity (Display Settings, page 19).

• In your smartphone notification center settings, limit the notifications that appear on your vívomove Sport
device (Managing Notifications, page 16).
• Turn off smart notifications (Bluetooth Settings, page 19).

• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices,
page 14).
