Samsung Health
Introduction
Samsung Health records your 24-hour activities and encourages you to cultivate a healthy habit. When connecting your Gear to your mobile devices, you can save and manage the health-related data and also receive the useful information about your health every day.
When you exercise for more than 10 minutes while wearing the Gear, it will display an encouraging message. When the Gear recognises inactivity for more than one hour, it will notify you and show you some stretching motions to follow. When your Gear recognises you are driving, it may not display an encouraging message or stretches.
Tap (Samsung Health) on the Apps screen.
• Samsung Health features are intended only for leisure, well-being, and fitness purposes. They are not intended for medical use. Before using these features, read the instructions carefully.
• Any information that is obtained from use of the Gear or the Fit Software or any application preloaded within may not be suitable, accurate, complete or reliable.

Wearing the Gear correctly
• When you activate the auto heart rate tracking feature, or when the Gear recognises your exercise, the Gear will automatically track your heart rate. When measuring your heart rate, wear the Gear snugly on your arm above your wrist as shown in the figure below.
• If you fasten the Gear too tightly, the skin irritation may occur and if you fasten it too loosely, friction may occur.
• Loosen the band after exercising.

Heart rate sensor
56
Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be
Applications
• 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 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 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, remove it until it cools. Exposing skin to a hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.

The battery depletes faster than when first purchased
• When you expose the Gear or the battery to very cold or very hot temperatures, the useful charge may be reduced.
• Battery consumption increases when you use some apps.
• The battery is consumable and the useful charge will get shorter over time.
Your Gear is hot to the touch
When you use apps that require more power or use apps on your Gear for an extended period of time, your Gear may feel hot to the touch. This is normal and should not affect your Gear’s lifespan or performance.
If the device overheats or feels hot for a prolonged period, do not use it for a while. If the device continues to overheat, contact a Samsung Service Centre.
The information of Alti-barometer is wrong
• After you calibrate the altimeter, the value for altimeter will become inaccurate after a period of time. To measure the accurate altitude, tap frequently to calibrate the value for the altimeter.
• The altitude measured may not be accurate if water (shower and water activity) or foreign materials enter the atmospheric pressure sensor. If there is any detergent, sweat, or raindrops on the Gear, rinse it with clean water and dry the atmospheric pressure sensor thoroughly before use.
Your Gear cannot find your current location
The Gear uses your mobile device’s location information. GPS signals may be obstructed in some locations, such as indoors. Set the mobile device to use Wi-Fi network to find your current location.
Data stored in the Gear has been lost
Always make backup copies of all important data stored in the Gear through the Samsung
Gear app. Otherwise, you cannot restore data if it is corrupted or lost. Samsung is not responsible for the loss of data stored in the Gear.
