Just hold the &#8216;button&#8217; for a while, and the display turns off. And the idea is you will need to hold again for three seconds to reactivate. But unfortunately that is REALLY easy to do accidentally when using your hands for just about anything, so does not <strong>stay off<\/strong> in real life. The ides is fine though but something more odd like say quick-triple-tap to activate would have been better, and less likely to happen accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>Heart rate &#8216;monitoring&#8217; can be selected each 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or Off.<br \/>\nSpO<sub>2<\/sub> is manual only (no monitor while sleeping either).<\/p>\n<p>The display is a very bluish white, and is about 20x5mm, so similar size as the R13.
