The Reader is not water-resistant and should
NEVER be submerged in water or other liquid.
Your Sensor is water-resistant and can be worn
while bathing, showering, or swimming.
Note: Do NOT take your Sensor deeper than
1 metre (3 feet) or immerse it longer than 30
minutes in water.
Sleeping Your Sensor should not interfere with your sleep.
It is recommended that you scan your Sensor
before going to sleep and when you wake up
because your Sensor holds 8 hours of data at a
time.
If you want to receive alarms or reminders while
you are sleeping, place the Reader nearby. You
should also make sure sound and/or vibration is
turned on.
Activity What You Need To Know
Travelling by Air You may use your System while on an aircraft,
following any requests from the ight crew.
• Some airport full-body scanners include x-ray or
millimetre radio-wave, which you cannot expose
your Sensor to. The eect of these scanners
has not been evaluated and the exposure may
damage the Sensor or cause inaccurate results.
To avoid removing your Sensor, you may request
another type of screening. If you do choose to go
through a full-body scanner, you must remove
your Sensor.
• The Sensor can be exposed to common
electrostatic (ESD) and electromagnetic
interference (EMI), including airport metal
detectors. You can keep your Reader on while
going through these.
Note: If you are changing time zones, you can
change the time and date settings on the Reader
by touching the Settings symbol
from the
Home Screen, then Time & Date. Changing the
time and date aects the graphs and statistics.
