General safety & handling
While using your product, be aware of the following common-sense
guidelines.
Your environment
•
Safe operating temperatures. Use and store your product in
temperatures between 0°C/32°F and 40°C/104°F. Exposing your
product to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage,
malfunction, or even explosion.

While driving. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
Using a mobile device or accessory for a call or other application while
driving may cause distraction. Keep your eyes on the road.
•
Around explosives. Do not use in areas where sparks from the
product might cause a fire or explosion.
•
On airplanes. Observe all rules and instructions for use of electronic
devices. Most airlines allow electronic use only between and not
during takeoffs and landings. There are three main types of airport
security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor
belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security
checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or
individual items). You can pass your product through airport X-ray
machines. But do not send it through airport magnetic detectors or
expose it to magnetic wands.
•
Always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your device
off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference
or danger.
•
Changing the wrist straps to metal straps might cause Bluetooth®/
Wi-Fi connectivity problem.

Pacemakers and other medical devices
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the product more than six (6) inches from their
pacemaker when the product is turned ON.
•
Not carry the product in a breast pocket.
•
Use the wrist opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
RF interference.
•
Turn the product OFF immediately if there is any indication that
interference is taking place.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult your physician or the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy.
Tips for using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your watch
•
When connecting your product to other mobile devices, the devices
must be positioned close to each other. If not, it may cause abnormal
operation or noise, depending on the use environment.
•
In an open space, the Bluetooth communication range usually spans
approximately 10m. This range may vary depending on the use
environment.
•
Do not place obstacles between your product and connected devices.
Outgoing/incoming signal can weaken due to user's body, walls,
corners or obstacles. Use where there is no obstacle.
Safety Information
11
•
When using a Wi-Fi connection, your watch can get notifications from
your phone or tablet even if Bluetooth is unavailable.
•
Your watch will search and connect to the nearest Wi-Fi network
based on the Wi-Fi list registered on your phone.
Tips for the display screen
•
Do not display non-moving images for an extended period. This may
cause image burn-in or stains on the screen.
•
Applications that display the same screen for more than 10 minutes
are not recommended because the potential screen damage is not
covered by the warranty.
Exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-regulated transmitters. The
design of this product complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Next-to-Mouth and Wrist-worn operation
This device was tested for typical Wrist-worn operations with the back of
the device kept 0 inches (0cm) between the user’s Wrist and the back of
the device.
And this device was tested for typical Next-to-Mouth(Face) operations
with the front of the device kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s
mouth(Face) and the front of the device.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the user’s
mouth(Face) and the front of the device.
Any accessories containing metallic components may not be used.
Safety Information
12
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values
Your product is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless products employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. In the
United States and Canada, the SAR limit for wrist watch used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue or 4.0
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over ten gram of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the product transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the product during operation can be well below the
maximum value.
Because the product is designed to operate at multiple power levels and
to use only the power required to reach the network, in general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for this model product when tested for use at
Next-to-Mouth(Face) is 0.29 W/kg(1g) and for Wrist-worn is 2.42 W/
kg(10g).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model product
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model product is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFW281 .
