be snug but comfortable.

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.
