Measure Your Heart Rate
WARNING: The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. The accuracy of heart rate readings may be reduced by your
physical characteristics—such as arm temperature, blood flow, obesity, obstructions such as hair or sores, skin tone,
tattoos, and so forth; by the type and intensity of your activity—such as high-intensity interval training, non-rhythmic
movements, weightlifting exercises, upper-body exercises, hand and arm movements, and so forth; and by the way that
you wear the product. Inaccurate readings may result in over exercising.
For the most accurate heart rate readings, follow the steps below:
1 . Fasten the band so that it is secure, but not too tight, on your wrist . Position the band
high on your wrist so that it is about 2 finger widths above your wristbone .
Note: When you do not need to measure your heart rate, you can loosen the band
and wear it lower on your wrist. The activity tracker will still measure your heart rate,
but the readings may not be as accurate.
2 . Make sure that your skin is warm . If your skin is cold, you can warm it by performing
physical activity or by wearing warm clothes .
3 . Navigate to the Heart Rate screen .
4 . Keep the activity tracker still . Do not move your wrist . When the activity tracker detects a pulse in your wrist, your heart
rate will appear .
When the activity tracker is attempting to detect a pulse, dashes will appear .
When the activity tracker is not being worn and it cannot detect a pulse, the word N/A will appear .
If your heart rate does not appear, repeat the steps above . If your heart rate still does not appear, send email to
support@iFit .com
.
Note: You can customize how often the activity tracker reads your heart rate. In the iFit app, select the main menu screen,
touch the gear icon and touch the Advanced icon. First, make sure that Enable Heart Rate is turned on. Then, select Heart
Rate Interval and select the desired interval time.
