Retry if failed (if no reading is showing within 1 minute the pedometer will escape from pulse mode). You again. then press pulse rate button TIPS
Its highly recommended to calibrate your individual stress index baseline once a month or whenever you want to refer to your parameter in different situations. To measure pulse and stress level: 1. Keep calm before and during measuring. 2. Press. 3. Put the tip of your thumb or index finger on the IR sensor. 4. Wait for about 10 seconds until pulse rate is shown (e.g. 100).
Cold fingertips and cold air can affect the measurement. You may need to warm your hands before you start. The sensor is sensitive to light sources. Cover the entire sensor area with your fingertip to block all light. Gently touch the pulse sensor; do not press hard. Keep still and calm during measurement. Moving about can affect the reading. Wait the proper amount of time: Measurements can take 6-12 seconds depending on the stability of the signals received.

What is your stress index? The stress index measurement is based on heart rate variability, which indicates your involuntary nervous systems status. 10

PE82X_M_EN_V2.p65

A large heart rate variation is an indication that the parasympathetic nervous system has a predominance, which generally corresponds to someone in a relaxed state. As for a smaller value, it indicates that the sympathetic nervous system is active, which is related to physical or mental stress.
