Viewing Your SpO2 Readings in Flight

CAUTION

The SpO2 readings are intended for backup information only. Always defer to applicable flight instruments for primary awareness.

The D2 Air device has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood (SpO2). Knowing your oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is adjusting to high altitudes. As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your blood can decrease. During a flight, the device automatically takes pulse oximeter readings more frequently, so you can monitor your SpO2 percentage.

TIP: You can improve the accuracy of your SpO2 readings by turning on all-day acclimation mode in the pulse oximeter widget settings (Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode,

page 10).

Start a FLY activity.

2 Flying
