An introduction
S Health helps you manage your wellness and fitness. Set fitness goals and regularly record and check your progress.
When the Gear is synced with a compatible S Health app, you can use additional features. The additional features include checking your exercise records, and more.
Pedometer, Exercise, Heart Rate, Sleep, and UV are intended for leisure, well-being and fitness purposes only and are not intended for medical use. Before using these apps, read the instructions carefully.
Wearing the Gear
When measuring your heart rate, wear the Gear snugly on your arm above your wrist as shown in the figure below. Do not fasten the Gear too tightly.

Heart rate sensor
49
Useful apps
• 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.

Using the coaching feature while exercising in running mode
Use the personalized coaching feature to exercise effectively. You will receive real-time coaching advice that leads you through an effective workout that keeps you fit.
About the coaching feature
The coaching feature includes Firstbeat technology to provide personalized exercise guidance. Firstbeat uses training goal analysis that measures the accumulated physical load during a workout and assesses the impact on your fitness. Training goal levels are based on your physical profile and the heart rate information recorded while you work out. Your training goal increases when you perform effective exercise and the coaching feature uses the training goal to provide you with feedback.
53
Useful apps
The feedback is provided by the feature via prompts, such as ‘speed up’, ‘keep up this pace’, and ‘slow down’. When you first start to use the coaching feature, it will estimate an appropriate training goal level based on your profile. As you exercise, it will analyze your training history and provide more personalized guidance. A typical workout may start at a lower intensity and sharply increase in intensity towards the end.
Visit www.firstbeat.fi/te for more information.

Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Devices
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user of a wireless device.
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the device emits. All devices are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be
94
Safety Information substantially less than the level reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety.
As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values for the SM-R750W are:
Head : ?? W/kg
Body : ?? W/kg
This device has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device 0mm from the body.
