• Touch the icon under “Functions:” until it shows “Spe-
cial 1”.
• Touch the ‘period’ icon. The calculation changes to
show the following:
respirationrate=60/period(90,10,5,|)
where the vertical line before the last parentheses repre-
sents the blinking cursor. The period function has four
items: peak%, valley%, time interval, and data source.
The cursor is in the space where the data source is
placed.
• Touch the ‘Measurements’ icon. Touch ‘Relative Pres-
sure’ in the list. The calculation changes to show the fol-
lowing:
respirationrate=60/period(90,10,5,[Relative Pres-
sure(kPa)])
• Touch “Done”.

Suggested Activities
• Respiration Rate and Physical Activity
• Respiration Rate and Heart Rate
• Respiration Rate and Body Temperature
• Respiration Rate and Different Types of Activity
• Respiration Rate and Altitude
Note: When the belt is connected to the Relative Pressure
Sensor, the sensor measures the change in pressure in the air
bladder in the belt as the lungs expand and contract.
Although the pressure of the chest cavity causes pressure
against the belt, the pressure measured in the belt is not the
actual pressure in the lungs.
Do not use the Relative Pressure Sensor around
liquids. Do not get liquids into the squeeze bulb,
tubing, or bladder.
