- It is important to always listen to your body first,

instead of only relying on measurements of the

health band. Too intense exercising may cause

health problems like feeling dizzy or faint,

nausea, temporary chest pain or exhaustion.

- Consult your doctor before you start exercising

in the following situations:

If you have heart disease, kidney disease

and/or diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2.

If you are taking medicines for high blood

pressure and/or that influence your

(maximum) heart rate. (In case of doubt,

please check with your doctor).

If you have a heart condition or if you are in

cardiac rehab.

Ask your doctor about which exercises you can

do and what your target heart rate should be.

Exercising with a too high heart rate could

cause health problems like temporary chest

pain, heart overload or exhaustion.

- Always consult your doctor first before you start

or continue exercising if you experience any of

the following signs or symptoms:

If you feel dizzy or nauseated or feel that

you are about to faint.

If you feel unusually tired or exhausted

during normal activities.

If you feel pain in your chest, neck, jaw or

arms.

If you feel your heart beats too hard or too

fast.

If you are short of breath during rest or mild

exertion, when lying flat or during the night.

If you have a known heart murmur.

If you have swollen ankles.

Exercising with any of these symptoms might

increase the risk of heart problems.

- Avoid vigorous to near-maximal activity if you

are not very active or not accustomed to this.

Too intense exercising may increase the risk of

injuries (e.g. falls, sprains) and may cause health

problems like fainting, nausea, temporary chest

pain or exhaustion.

- During pregnancy:

Always follow your doctor's advice on

weight management, exercise type,

frequency, duration, intensity and rest

intervals.

The heart rate zone indicator is not

applicable.

Make sure that you update your weight in

the app on a regular basis. Failure to do so

might result in inaccurate energy

expenditure (calorie burn) estimation.

Heart rate related algorithms and resting

respiration rate are not validated for pregnant

women.

- Keep the device out of reach of infants, children

or pets. Inhalation or swallowing of small parts

can be dangerous.

- Sleep tracking should not be used for diagnosis

or treatment in case of sleep disorders. The

algorithms are not validated for people with

sleep disorders and thus may give inaccurate

results in these cases.

- Only use a double-insulated IEC60950-1 class

II USB adapter or USB port to charge the device

Check if the symbol for double insulation is on

the adapter:

If you don't use a double-insulated IEC60950-1

class II USB adapter it could malfunction. This

may cause injury, e.g. electrical shock, or

damage.

- Only use the charger and detachable parts

authorized by the manufacturer. The use of

unauthorized parts or accessories may cause

injury, e.g. electrical shock, or damage.

- Do not modify the device or charger. This could

result in injuries, e.g. electrical shock.

- This device can be used by persons with

reduced physical or mental capabilities, or lack

of understanding and knowledge. They can

only use the device under supervision or after

instruction by a person responsible for their

safety.

- To reduce the risk of skin irritation, follow the

instructions in chapter 'Wearing the health

band'.

- Energy expenditure algorithms are not

validated for people with impaired gait. These

users should not use the total and active

calories burned as shown on the device as a

reference for their actual calories burned.

Caution

- Do not use the device near strong electric or

magnetic fields, for example magnets, radio

transmitters or microwave ovens. This could

cause measurement errors.

- Do not share the device. The Philips health

band is designed for personal use only. The

health band measures several health

parameters, which are updated over time and

are personalized. Switching the health band

between different people could lead to

inaccurate calculations of several health

parameters.

- Use this device under the right environmental

conditions (see 'Specifications '). Not doing so

could affect the performance and lifetime of the

device and the accuracy of the measurement

results.
