good way to plan an exercise program that is right and safe for you. Consider it the first step on your path
to physical fitness.
Note:
● The accuracy of the heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on measurement conditions
and surroundings.
● Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
● Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your vision. Please
make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
● Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold weather, keep
yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
● Take heart rate measurements when you are seated and relaxed. Do not move your body while
taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
● If you receive a reading that is very different from your expected heart rate, rest for 30 minutes
and then measure again.
● Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart rate to be
different from your normal heart rate.
● Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause
your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
● Because the heart rate sensor uses light to approximate heart rate, its accuracy may vary due to
physical factors that affect light absorption and reflection, such as blood circulation/blood
pressure, skin condition and location and concentration of blood vessels. In addition, if your heart
rate is extremely high or low, measurements may be inaccurate.
● Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when the device is loose,
causing the light to be reflected unevenly. If heart rate measurement is not working properly,
adjust the position of the device’s heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or
turn the device so the heart rate sensor sits firmly against the inside of your wrist. If the heart rate
sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions between the device’s strap and your
wrist, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects may prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please
make sure you remove such obstructions before use.
● If your device becomes hot to the touch, remove it until it cools. Exposing skin to a hot surface of
the device for a long time may cause skin burn.
