Another Pulse Ox BM1000C - Display does not light up

Post by gwalker »

The display remains dark on the Pulse Oximeter BM1000C that I recently purchased. The red sensor LEDs light up. It will beep after I push the button twice, but the display remains totally dark. What now?

Are you new AAA batteries?

Is your finger inside the unit?

If neither of the above is applicable we can replace or refund.

Yes, to both questions.
I tried two different sets of new-out-of-the-box AAA batteries. My finger was resting inside the unit. I believe the beeps from the unit was it detecting my pulse. So it seems to work except for the dark, empty display. Nothing visible in the display.

I will be happy to receive a working replacement. I will be happy to return the defective unit if you want to check it.
