Players who are dying lose 1 RP per round. Once they lose that RP, they can spend one quarter of their max RP (in your case 1) to automatically stabilize on this turn. If you spend another RP on your next turn, (3 out of your total of 4) you become conscious at 1 HP.
Alternatively, any healing that restores HP automatically stabilizes and awakens the healed character. A player with a medkit can stabilize a dying character with a DC 15 Medicine check.

Once they lose that RP...
The Dying Rules don't say a dying character has to lose RP before using it to stabilize. The entry states I would lose that 1 RP at the end of my turn, but if I stabilize before that it shouldn't go into effect. Is there more to it that I haven't found?
Not trying to be obnoxious; just learning a new system.

Good catch, I misread that. Yes, if you spend 1 RP now you will automatically stabilize, leaving you with 3 left.
Pardon my confusion. I'm at 5/5 RP at the start of my first turn as a dying person, because I don't lose any RP until the end of my turn. So if I use 1/4 of my 5 RP to stabilize, I assumed I'd have to use 2 RP (not 1), leaving my at 3 RP. Is that right?
Correct.
The statewide outages are over but the lines at my house are down. I'm hoping to be back online tomorrow.
No worries, thanks for letting us know. Stay safe over there, these storms are no joke

Well, that was quite an introduction to Starfinder. Thanks for running this, GM DocDoc. I'm looking forward to getting into another game, though I may have to wait for Outpost (or Gameday--whichever this one's called) to end.
Just out of curiosity, do Operatives die this much in most other games? It seems like being a lightly armored ranged attacker may be seriously hampered by a lot of environments.
Chronicles ready! Check the links below, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'll keep these up for about a week, or shorter if I hear back from everyone that they got them.

Sturmvanger
Twila-4

Sam-12 died, so he does not receive a Chronicle Sheet.
Thanks for running this GM DocDoc.

Thanks for running GM DocDoc. For a lot of reasons not in your control, this one really dragged.
For anyone who hasn't played before, PbP games usually take 6 weeks rather than 3 months.
And, to Twila's question, the game is designed so people get hit more often than not, even with really heavy armor but it is not common for anyone to die (and Sam-12 only died because he didn't spend the RP to stabilize because he realized PbP is not for him.)
