2. Press .
3. Put the tip of your thumb or index finger on the IR

TIPS
• 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
system's status.
