The iTech Active 2 is a fitness tracker designed to help users monitor their daily activity, sleep, and heart rate, as well as receive smartphone notifications. It is not a medical device and should not be used for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. Users should consult a qualified healthcare professional before taking any clinical action based on the device's output.

Function Description:

The iTech Active 2 continuously tracks various statistics throughout the day and night. Key functions include:

Timekeeping: Displays time and date, with customizable watch faces.
Notifications & Messaging: Displays call, text, social media, and app notifications from a paired smartphone. It stores up to 5 notifications, replacing the oldest as new ones arrive. Users can manage notification preferences and mute all notifications via the "Do Not Disturb" mode.
Activity Tracking: Records steps taken, calories burned, and distance covered. It tracks progress towards daily goals set by the user, providing celebratory badges upon achievement.
Sleep Monitoring: Automatically tracks time asleep, sleep stages (deep sleep, light sleep, and time awake), and provides an overall sleep quality score. Detailed sleep history and summaries are available in the iTech Wearables App.
Heart Rate Monitoring: Tracks heart rate throughout the day. Users can measure real-time heart rate on demand or enable continuous heart rate detection (recording every 30 minutes) for more accurate sleep statistics. Continuous heart rate detection consumes more battery.
Fitness & Exercising (Multi-Sports Mode): Features 4 sports modes (Basketball, Baseball, Football, Soccer) and 4 workout modes (Running, Elliptical, Cycling, Hiking). Each mode tracks specific details such as steps, total time, average heart rate, and calories. Activities must be performed for at least 3 minutes to be saved.
Connected GPS: Utilizes the smartphone's GPS sensors to provide complete workout stats, recap, route, and pace information for outdoor activities.
Sedentary Reminder: Alerts users to move during specified hours (10:00 AM - 6:00 PM) to encourage activity.
Music Remote: Allows users to play/pause, skip forward, or skip to previous music from compatible apps (Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora).
Camera Remote: Enables users to snap photos on their smartphone by tapping or shaking their wrist while the app's camera function is open.

Firmware Updates: New firmware updates are delivered via the iTech Wearables App. Users will receive a notification, or can manually check for updates in the app's settings. The device must remain within Bluetooth range of the phone during updates.
Restarting: If syncing or tracking issues occur, the device can be restarted. Navigate to the Power Off icon in Settings, tap and hold to power off, wait a few minutes, then tap and hold for 3-5 seconds to power back on.
Resetting: For persistent issues, the device can be reset. Navigate to the Reset icon in Settings, then tap and hold the one-touch button.
Cleaning: The band and wrist should be cleaned regularly, especially after intense workouts or sweating. Rinse with water or wipe with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Avoid hand soap, dish soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, or household cleaners, as these can get trapped and irritate the skin. Always pat the band dry before re-wearing.
Skin Care: If users experience skin irritation or redness, they should remove the device. If symptoms persist for more than 2-3 days, consult a dermatologist. This is particularly important for individuals with allergies, asthma, or eczema.
