rating system.

Your device has been tested in a controlled

environment and shown to be water and dust resistant

in certain circumstances (meets requirements of

classiﬁcation IP67 as described by the international

standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided

by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C,

86-106 kPa, 1.0 meters, for 30 minutes). Despite

this classiﬁcation, your device is not impervious to

water damage in any situation. It is important that all

compartments are closed tightly.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the

device.

•

Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly

with a clean, soft cloth.

•

Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized

water, or to water over 1.0 meters deep for more

than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh

water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If

the device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh

water, rinse the device with fresh water immediately

and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.

Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it

as instructed may cause the device to suﬀer from

operability or cosmetic issues.

•

Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.

•

If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the

water and dust resistant features of the device may

be damaged.

Before You Start Exercising

This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While

moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, is

safe for most people, health experts suggest that you

talk with your doctor before you start an exercise

program, particularly if you have any of the following

conditions:

•

Heart disease;

•

Asthma or lung disease;

•

Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;

•

Arthritis.

S Health

You should also check with your doctor if you have

symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious

disease, such as:

•

Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms

during physical activity;

•

Dizziness or loss of consciousness;

•

Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or

when lying down or going to bed;

•

Ankle swelling, especially at night;

•

A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced

heartbeat;

•

Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that

goes away when you rest.

Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine

recommends that you see your doctor before

engaging in vigorous exercise if two or more of the

following apply:

•

You are a man older than age 45 or a woman older

than age 55;

•

You have a family history of heart disease before

age 55;

•

You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;

•

You have not exercised for three months or more;

•

You are overweight or obese;

•

You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol;

•

You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called

prediabetes.

When in Doubt — Check It Out

If you are unsure of your health status, have several

health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak

with your doctor before starting a new exercise

program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is a

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.
