At first,
RESP

RATE
displays your accumulated
Weekly Effective Exercise Time.
Note:
You accumulate Effective Exercise Time when you breathe slower
than10 breaths per minute. To achieve maximum benefit It is
recommended that you accumulate a total of at least 45 minutes of
Weekly
Effective Exercise Time.
Breathe normally.
You do not need to breathe especially deeply or slowly at the start of
the exercise. Simply allow
RESP
e
RATE
to “recognize” your personal
breathing pattern. This is called the Recognition Phase.
During the Recognition Phase, each
well-analyzed breath is displayed as a vertical
line. You hear short musical tones during this
process. These tones indicate that the
Recognition Phase is in progress.
A flashing dot on the display accompanies your breathing and
appears each time you inhale.
Once
RESP
e
RATE
has recognized four stable
breaths (signified by the display of four vertical
bars, as shown above), the device will display your current number of
breaths per minute (e.g. 17.8 bpm). The exercise session will now
begin, signified by the start of the melody.
Note:
If the Recognition Phase lasts longer than two minutes, please refer
to the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual, starting on page 10.
