you. 

Adjust the velcro on the finger sensor so it is snug

, but not very tight. The sensor 

should be in constant contact with your finger with no gaps.

The iFeel Sensor displays SpO2 on the left side, and average heart rate on the right 
side. 

SpO2 can only be measured correctly from the finger (not the ear)!

 If you wish to 

measure or train SpO2 or average heart rate you can do this directly using the iFeel 
Sensor’s built-in display. 
 

8)

 

Open Alive and press Bluetooth

 (or the Enter key on your keyboard). You must press 

the Bluetooth button each time you open Alive to use with the iFeel Sensor. If you 
own a GP8 sensor and have it attached Alive will load without this prompt. 

 

 

9)

 

Once Alive opens choose a user. If Alive opens to the main menu choose Graph 
Training under Alive workshops and start a session. Once a session is running, 
Alive will help you connect the iFeel Sensor to your computer’s Bluetooth. 
 
Follow the steps explained in Alive or follow the Pairing the iFeel Sensor section 
below.

For heart rate or smoothness training the Clip sensor can be placed on your finger 
or ear. 

Please see the iFeel USB Section “Clip Sensor Information” if you want to 

use the Clip Sensor on your ear!

 

The signal is much stronger on the finger, so if you are 

getting movement errors move the clip to your finger or use a finger sensor. 

For the 

strongest, most movement tolerant signal, purchase an “Extra Adult Movement 
Tolerant Finger Sensor” from

Important note for BVP Amplitude training: 

If you are training BVP Amplitude you must 

place the Clip sensor on your finger or use a finger sensor.

 BVP Amplitude cannot be 

read from the ear.
