Wearing your Fitness Tracker
The way you wear your TomTom Touch is important because it can affect the performance of the
Heart Rate Sensor. For more information on how this sensor works, see
The heart rate sensor
.
If you experience issues with getting an accurate heart rate reading, make sure your TomTom
Touch is worn as follows:
Done up tightly but not so tight that it is uncomfortable.
Placed above the wrist bone.
You get the most accurate results from the heart rate sensor when you are warmed up.
Important
: To improve accuracy, KEEP STILL until your heart rate is detected.
Cleaning your Fitness Tracker
It's important to keep your fitness tracker clean, especially when you've been sweating.
To clean the tracker, wipe with a damp cloth and use mild soap to remove oil or dirt.
Do not use hand soap, body soap, dish soap, hand sanitisers, cleaning wipes or household
cleaners which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate skin.
Always dry the tracker well before putting it back on. While the fitness tracker is water
resistant, wearing a wet band for long periods of time can cause skin irritation.
Do not expose your fitness tracker to strong chemicals such as solvents, and take care not to
scratch or damage the heart rate sensor area when cleaning the module.
If you have eczema, allergies or asthma you may be more likely to experience a skin irritation
or allergy from a wearable device. Regardless of whether or not you have one of these condi-
tions, if you start to experience redness or skin irritation on your wrist, stop wearing the
tracker. If symptoms persist longer than 2-3 days after you've stopped wearing it, contact a
dermatologist.
