The heart rate measuring function is intended for human use only. The heart
rate figures may not be accurate depending on measurement conditions and
surroundings.
•
Take heart rate measurements when you are seated and relaxed.
•
If heart rate measurements are taken at low temperatures, the result may be
inaccurate.
•
Do not move your body while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may
cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements. Inaccurate
measurements occur when the device is loose and the light used to provide the
measurement is reflected unevenly.
•
If the measurement is very different from the expected heart rate, rest for
30 minutes and then measure it again.
•
Measurements are calculated using average values and should be repeated at least
five times.
•
During winter or in cold weather, keep yourself warm when measuring your heart
rate.
•
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.
•
If your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements may be inaccurate.
•
Obstructions between the device’s strap and your wrist, such as body hair or other
objects, may prevent the light reflecting evenly.
•
Heart rate measurements taken for infants and toddlers may be inaccurate.
•
Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your
vision.
•
If heart rate measurements are not working properly, change the position of the
Gear on your wrist.
