Turning On the NoninConnect Elite Model 3240

1. Insert a digit into the Model 3240 until it touches the built-in stop.
   
   NOTE: Make sure the finger is lying flat (not on its side) and is centered within the device. For best results, keep the device at heart or chest level.

2. If the CorrectCheck screen (see Display Symbols table) displays, slide finger further into device. Correct positioning of the finger is critical for accurate measurements.

3. The 3240 begins sensing the pulse and displaying readings.
   

4. View about 4 seconds of readings before relying on the displayed values. Continually verify operation. It is common for the displayed values to vary slightly over a period of several seconds.
   If the device does not turn on or if it shuts off unexpectedly:

   • Verify batteries are correctly inserted.
   • The batteries are depleted. Replace batteries.
     If the problem persists, remove the batteries and contact Nonin Technical Service.
     NOTE: While on the finger, do not press the device against any surface and do not squeeze or hold it together. The internal spring provides the correct pressure; additional pressure may cause inaccurate readings.
