Smart Wake Up Alarms - Sony SmartBand 2 SWR12 User Manual

Getting the most from the SmartBand 2 heart rate sensor
Even under ideal conditions, the SmartBand 2 may not be able to get a reliable heart
rate reading every time for each individual. And for a small percentage of users,
various factors may make it impossible to get any heart rate reading at all. Perform
the following steps if you want to improve the reading from the heart rate sensor:
•
Make sure that you wear your SmartBand 2 snugly, but comfortably on your wrist. If it
does not stay in place on your wrist and the heart rate sensor fails to get a good
reading, tighten the wristband.
•
You may need to clean the SmartBand 2, especially the heart rate sensor, after
exercising or heavy sweating.
Measuring pulse and stress automatically
The SmartBand 2 measures your pulse and stress and recovery level about six times
an hour.
Measuring pulse and stress manually
You can have your SmartBand 2 perform a reading of your pulse at any time, either
from the device itself or from your Android™ device.
To get the best heart rate data when exercising, initiate the heart rate sensor a few
minutes before your physical activity so that the sensor is able to detect your pulse.
Notifications, except for incoming calls and alarms, are not passed to your SmartBand 2 when
you measure your pulse and stress manually.
To measure your pulse and stress manually from your SmartBand 2
1
To start measuring your pulse and stress level, double-press the power key.
The notification lights start to flash orange alternately and then together when
the reading is complete. The results are then displayed on the SmartBand 2
and Lifelog application on your Android™ device.
2
To end the measurement, double-press the power key again.
If the SmartBand 2 cannot detect your pulse, it vibrates three times and the notification lights
start to flash alternately in orange. If the heart rate sensor fails to get a reading, adjust the
SmartBand 2's position on your wrist or clean the sensor. For more information on improving
the reading from the heart rate sensor, see
sensor on page 11.
To measure your pulse and stress manually from your Android™ device
1
From the main application screen of your Android™ device, find and tap
SmartBand 2. The SmartBand 2 immediately attempts to get a reading from
the heart rate sensor and displays the results on the SmartBand 2 or Lifelog
application.
2
To end the measurement, quit the SmartBand 2 application.
STAMINA mode
To reduce battery consumption, you can turn on STAMINA mode, which disables
automatic measurement of pulse and stress. You can still manually start a
measurement even while your SmartBand 2 is in STAMINA mode.
To turn on/off STAMINA mode
1
From the main application screen of your Android™ device, find and tap
SmartBand 2 > > Settings.
2
Tap STAMINA mode, then drag the slider to the On/Off position.

Smart wake up alarms

You can set one or several Smart wake up alarms in the SmartBand 2 application.
The Smart wake up alarm wakes you up at the best time based on your sleep cycle.
