Sensors

The Sensors settings let you tailor the response and sensitivity of the sensors of
the BF-1. It lets you adjust the device to the strength of your pulse, the speed of
your jogging stride and changes in your jogging pace.
From the Hardware Settings menu, select the Sensors menu.
In the Sensors menu, the following items are shown: Pulse Sensor, Step
Sensor and Pace Sensor.
■Pulse Sensor
This lets you adjust how sensitive the BF-1 sensor is to your pulse. For
example, if your pulse is weak or the BF-1 doesn’t seem to respond
properly to your pulse, adjusting the setting here can improve the
response.

Also refer to Troubleshooting on page 77 when you feel the BF-1 doesn’t respond properly to your
pulse.
From the Sensors menu, select the Pulse Sensor parameter.
Available settings:
High Sensitivity, Normal Sensitivity, Low Sensitivity
“Normal” is the default setting and should be fine for most people and
situations. If the BF-1 doesn’t seem to be responding properly, try changing
the setting. Select “High” if your pulse is weak, or “Low” if your pulse is strong.
