Turning On the NoninConnect Model
3230
1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230
until it touches the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is
centered within the finger guide and
flat (not on its side). 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 3230 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 3230 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.

• Inspect the sensor application site at least every 4 hours to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity
to sensor may vary due to medical status or skin condition.
• Avoid excessive pressure to the sensor application site as this may cause damage to the skin beneath the sensor.
• This device is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of
assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
• The device must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO2 measurement. Verify that nothing is
hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO2 measurement.
• Operation of this device below the minimum amplitude of 0.3% modulation may cause inaccurate results.
• General operation of the device may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
• Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as the battery door and battery are choking hazards.
• Before changing batteries, make sure the device is off and is not applied to a digit.

Turning On the NoninConnect Model
3230
1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230
until it touches the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is
centered within the finger guide and
flat (not on its side). 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 3230 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 3230 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

Turning On the NoninConnect Model
3230
1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230
until it touches the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is
centered within the finger guide and
flat (not on its side). 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 3230 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 3230 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

Turning On the NoninConnect Model
3230
1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230
until it touches the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is
centered within the finger guide and
flat (not on its side). 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 3230 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 3230 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

Turning On the NoninConnect Model
3230
1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230
until it touches the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is
centered within the finger guide and
flat (not on its side). 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 3230 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 3230 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

Turning On the NoninConnect Model
3230
1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230
until it touches the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is
centered within the finger guide and
flat (not on its side). 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 3230 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 3230 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
