Using the Ring
16
•
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your
heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
•
Do not move, talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate
measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
If your heart rate is extremely high or low, the measurement may not be
accurate.
•
If measuring children’s heart rates, the measurement may not be accurate.
•
If heart rate measurement is not working properly, wear the Ring on another
finger or adjust the Ring’s position on your finger. If the Ring is too tight or loose,
the measurement may not be accurate. Wear the Ring so that the heart rate
sensor is in good contact with your skin.
•
If the sensors on the Ring are dirty, wipe the sensors and try again. If foreign
materials prevent the light from reflecting evenly, the measurement may not be
accurate.
•
The optical heart rate sensor may be affected by tattoos and marks on the finger
you wear your Ring on. These may cause your Ring not to recognise that you are
wearing it, and the Ring’s features may not work properly. Therefore, wear your
Ring on a finger that does not interfere with the Ring’s features.
•
The measurement features may not work properly because of certain factors,
such as the light from the optical heart rate sensor being blocked, depending
on your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin, and the cleanliness of the
sensor area.
How to remove the Ring if it is stuck
The Ring may be difficult to remove from your finger because your finger’s circumference
can vary by the time of day and your physical condition. If the Ring becomes stuck on
your finger, do the following:
•
Wet your finger with cold water and soap, and then remove the Ring by turning it
around slowly. After removing the Ring from your finger, rinse and dry your hand and
the Ring thoroughly.
•
Immerse your finger in cold water, wait for some time until the swelling gets down,
and then remove the Ring from the finger.
