Widgets and features

•
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. 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
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 band 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, please remove it until it cools. Exposing
skin to a hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.

Suspend use in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Health and Safety
50
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping

driving safely.
•
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
the person you are talking to aware that you are driving and suspend conversations that
could potentially divert your attention from the road.
Care for and use your mobile device properly
Store your device only on flat surfaces
•
If your device falls, it may be damaged.
The device can be used in locations with an ambient temperature of 0°C to 35°C. You

•
Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (on the
dashboard of a car, for example).
•
For a device with a removable battery, the battery can be stored separately in locations
with an ambient temperature of 0 °C to 45 °C.
Do not store your device with metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces
•
Your device may be scratched or may malfunction.
•
If the battery terminals come into contact with metal objects, this may cause a fire.
Health and Safety
51
Do not store your device near magnetic fields
•
Your device may malfunction or the battery may discharge from exposure to magnetic
fields.
•
Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, and boarding
passes, may be damaged by magnetic fields.

screen with your fingers, or playing games, you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, neck, shoulders, or other parts of your body. When using your device for extended
periods, hold the device with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, and take frequent breaks. If
you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop using the device and consult a
physician.
