Wearing your PS-500

Keep these tips in mind when wearing your PS-500:

■The PS-500 needs to be worn snugly around the wrist to collect more accurate heart rate data. This may cause a slight impression on the wrist. Adjust the PS-500 for the comfort and performance you choose.

■When wearing the PS-500, make sure it does not touch the ulna bone.

■For greater accuracy, wear the PS-500 on your non-dominant wrist.

■Tap the watch face to turn on the backlight.

■Before boarding an aircraft, power off your PS-500 by selecting Power off from the System settings menu.

Calibrating your heart rate

To personalize your heart rate zones and calibrate the sleep monitoring feature, wear your PS-500 for 2 to 7 days while you sleep. The accuracy of your heart rate zone and sleep data will improve after the PS-500 has calibrated your resting heart rate.
