(cosmetic) fingernails or has long fingernails. When these situations
exist, light levels may be diminished and a poor signal results. Remove
fingernail polish BEFORE using the finger probe. When artificial nails or
long fingernails are present, it is suggested that the ear probe be
used.
Proper coverage of the photodetector is essential. Use the finger which
best covers the photodetector and seats properly In the probe lover half
