S Health Introduction S Health encourages you to have a healthy life by tracking your activity 24 hours a day and letting you set goals. 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. Tap (S Health) on the Apps screen. • When running this app for the first time or after performing a data reset, tap START. • S 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. 48 Applications 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. Do not fasten the Gear too tightly. <Rear> Heart rate sensor • 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. 49 Applications • 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. 50 Applications 24-hour Log Based on your profile, you can view your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and activity for the day at a glance.

If there is any detergent, sweat, or raindrops on the Gear, rinse it with clean water and dry the pressure relief vent (atmospheric pressure sensor) thoroughly before use. 53 Applications Exercise Record your exercise information and calories burned using S Health’s exercise feature. • Before using this feature, pregnant women, the elderly, and young children, users suffering from conditions, such as chronic heart disease or high blood pressure, are recommended to seek the advice of a licensed medical professional. • If you feel dizzy, experience pain, or have difficulty breathing during exercise, stop using this feature and seek the advice of a licensed medical professional.

The measurements may not be accurate depending on your walking and exercise routines. Heart rate Measure and record your heart rate. • The Gear’s heart rate tracker is intended for fitness and informational purposes only and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. • To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Gear, wear the Gear firmly around your lower arm just above the wrist. Refer to Wearing the Gear correctly for details. Be aware of following conditions before measuring your heart rate: • Rest for 5 minutes before taking measurements. • If the measurement is very different from the expected heart rate, rest for 30 minutes and then measure it again. • 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. • Heart rate measurements may vary depending on the measurement method and the environment they are taken in. • If the heart rate sensor is not working, check the Gear’s position on your wrist and make sure nothing is obstructing the sensor. If the heart rate sensor continues to have the same problem, visit a Samsung Service Centre. 56 Applications Measuring your heart rate 1 Tap (S Health) on the Apps screen. 2 Rotate the bezel clockwise and open the heart rate tracker screen. 3 Tap to begin measuring your heart rate.
