Getting Started with the M1
Insert Battery
Insert a 1.5V AA battery into the battery compartment located on the back of
the unit. The battery compartment can be opened by pulling outward from the
indentation on back of the device. The battery should be replaced with the
negative side (-) pressed upon the battery contact containing a spring (see Figure
1). Close the battery compartment door to secure the battery. A fresh alkaline
battery should power the device for at least 8 hours of continuous use.
Figure 1 - Insert Battery
Use only an IEC LR06 1.5V AA battery. Usage of a similar sized battery containing a
different voltage could damage the device.
Attaching the Nonin Sensor
Attach the Nonin sensor to the device by inserting the black end
of the sensor into the DB9 connection on the left side of the M1
with the Nonin logo facing up (see Figure 2).

Using the Nonin Articulated Clip Sensor
1.
Insert a finger (preferably the index, middle, or ring finger) into
the Adult Articulated Finger Clip Sensor (Figure 1) until the end
of the finger reaches the finger stop. Keep the fingernail facing
the sensor top (as shown in Figure 1). Ensure that long
fingernails do not interfere with proper finger position.
2.
For the best results when using the sensor for data collection,
secure the sensor cable independently from the sensor with
medical tape, preferably around the base of the finger. Make
sure that the tape securing the cable does not restrict the blood
flow (see Figure 3).

The thumb is not recommended for use with the Adult Articulated Finger Clip Sensor.
Note: Proper sensor placement is critical for good performance. If the sensor is not
positioned properly, light may bypass the tissue and result in inaccuracies.
