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.
Maximizing Battery Life
• Decrease the screen brightness and timeout (Display Settings, page24).
• Reduce wrist gesture sensitivity (Display Settings, page24).
• Turn off wrist gestures (Display Settings, page24).
• In your phone notification center settings, limit the notifications that appear on your vívomoveTrend watch
(Managing Notifications, page21).
• Turn off smart notifications (Bluetooth Settings, page24).
• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using connected features (Bluetooth Settings, page24).
• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices,
page15).
• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Heart Rate and Stress Settings, page24).
NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate vigorous intensity minutes, VO2 max., stress
level, and calories burned (Intensity Minutes, page6).

Updating the Sofware Using the Garmin Connect App
Before you can update your watch software using the Garmin Connect app, you must have a Garmin Connect
account, and you must pair the watch with a compatible phone (Setting Up the Watch, page1).
Sync your watch with the Garmin Connect app (Syncing Your Data with the Garmin Connect App, page23).
When new software is available, the Garmin Connect app automatically sends the update to your watch.
The update is applied when you are not actively using the watch. When the update is complete, your watch
restarts.
