Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet from the
support that Philips oers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.

The Philips health watch empowers you to live a healthier life by continuously tracking
activity, calorie burn, sleep habits, heart rate and other key metrics of your cardio
condition, and more. The watch can wirelessly connect to a smartphone. An always
ON screen and battery charge of up to 4 days allows you to wear the watch every day
and night. You can monitor your metrics and get personalized guidance with the Philips
HealthSuite health app.

ENGLISH

Intended use

The medical purpose is to measure and track the vital physiological parameter heart
rate and movement, and derive resting heart rate and energy expenditure of adults at
risk of getting a lifestyle related chronic disease or adult patients suering lifestyle related
chronic disease, specically cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2. Investigation
of these parameters is used in the assessment of the physiological state of a person
and their daily physical activity level. For people at risk of these lifestyle related chronic
diseases or patients with a pre-existing condition, the continuous monitoring of these
parameters can give insight in changes of heart rate and daily physical activity.

The non-medical purpose is measurement of: steps, heart rate recovery, resting
respiration rate and sleep patterns, and providing: automatic activity recognition
(cycling, running, walking), a heart rate zone indication, a VO2max estimate and
sedentary behavior alerting, for wellness purposes.

8 9

Operating principle

The Philips health watch is a wrist-worn device for 24/7 home use (indoor and outdoor).
The device uses a tri-axial accelerometer to measure motion and green Light-Emitting
Diodes (LEDs) and a photodiode to create a photoplethysmogram (PPG).
The accelerometer output and the PPG-signal are analyzed to determine heartbeat,
activity type, steps taken, and are used as input for estimation of energy expenditure
and other parameters.

- If you are taking medicines that lower your maximum heart rate (e.g. for high blood
pressure), consult your doctor. Ask your doctor what your target heart rate zone should be.

14 15

- If you have a heart condition or you are in cardiac rehab, talk to a healthcare
professional about what exercises you can engage in 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.

- Do not share the device. The Philips health watch is designed for personal use only.
The watch measures several health parameters, which are updated over time and
are tailored to you. Switching the watch between dierent people would lead to
inaccurate measurements.

- Do not modify this equipment. This may result in hazardous situations.
Make sure the device is in proper working condition before use.

- Only use the charging cradle and detachable parts authorized by the manufacturer.
The use of unauthorized parts or accessories may cause injury or damage to the device.

- Always dry the device when it has become wet.

- Do not wear the strap too tight, to ensure it is still comfortable to wear.

- Follow the instructions in chapter ‚Wearing the health watch‘.

- Keep the device out of reach of infants, children or pets, since inhalation or
swallowing of small parts can be dangerous or even fatal.

- Keep the device away from re and heat sources. The internal batteries can
overheat and may explode or leak, causing re or explosion.

- During pregnancy, always follow your doctor‘s advice with regards to weight
management, exercise type, frequency, duration, intensity and rest intervals.
Be aware that the heart rate zone indicator is not applicable when you are pregnant.

16 17

Make sure to update your weight in the app on a regular basis. Failure to do so might
result in inaccurate energy expenditure (calorie burn) estimation.

- Sleep algorithms should not be used for diagnosis or treatment in case of sleep
problems. They have not been validated for people with sleeping disorders.

- Energy expenditure algorithms have not been 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 electrical or magnetic elds,
for example magnets, radio transmitters, microwave ovens. This could cause
measurement errors.

ENGLISH

- Use this device under the right environmental conditions as indicated in this user

Wearing the health watch

Always wear the Philips health watch on the outside of your wrist, in direct contact with
your skin (Fig. 3). Make sure the watch is not on your wrist bone (Fig. 2).

The straps need to be tight, but comfortable around your wrist to ensure a correct heart rate
measurement. If you feel any discomfort due to the straps, give your skin some rest by not wearing
the watch for a short period of time. When refastening the watch, try loosening the strap a notch.

If you continue to feel discomfort after a short period of rest and loosening the strap, remove
the device and consult Philips Consumer Care and/or your doctor.

Note: Please check and if necessary, change the setting ‚handedness‘ and ‚wearing position‘
in the device settings menu in the HealthSuite health app. This is to indicate if you are left or
right handed and the side that you wear your watch on.

28 29

Remove the watch at least once a day (e.g. before or during a meal) to clean your wrist/arm
with some mild soap and water. Clean the watch regularly, especially if your watch becomes
dirty or wet during an activity. Make sure that your watch and arm are dry before refastening
the watch to reduce the risk of skin irritation. If you use skin care products, do so sparingly on
the areas of the skin that are covered by the watch. The watch is splash proof with a 1 atm
rating, which allows you to use it outdoors in the rain.

Active minutes
This is the time, in minutes, that you‘ve spent being active today. According to the World
Health Organisation, your body only starts feeling the eects of increased activity after you‘ve
been moderately active for 9 minutes, so we start tracking your active minutes from then.

If you have set daily goals via the Philips HealthSuite health app, you can also track your
progress here. A progress bar around the outside of the display lets you see how close
you are to reaching your goal (Fig. 9).

Kilocalorie (kcal) is a measurement for energy expenditure as well as for energetic value
of nutrients.

ENGLISH

Locking and unlocking the screen

The device automatically returns to the clock screen and locks after 60 seconds of
inactivity. To unlock the screen, quickly tap the lower part of the touch ring three times
(Fig. 10). To lock a screen and prevent the watch from returning automatically to the

the screen. To unlock, tap the lower part of the touch ring three times again.

Heart rate

Select the heart rate in the main menu to see your current heart rate. Swipe left or right
to select heart rate, resting heart rate or heart rate recovery. Heart rate, resting heart and
heart rate recovery are measured in beats per minute.

38 39

Heart rate

Your current heart rate is displayed in beats per minute (bpm).

Resting heart rate

Resting heart rate is the rate that your heart beats at when you are at rest (displayed
as rhr). Resting heart rate values can dier from one person to another. However,
changes in resting heart rate can be an indication of changes in your tness level.

Active people often have a lower resting heart rate because their heart muscle is in
better condition. It will take at least 24 hours of wearing the watch to get a rst resting
heart rate measurement.

ENGLISH

Heart rate recovery

Heart rate recovery (HRR) is the dierence in heart rate at peak exercise and the rate as
measured after a one minute recovery period. The watch will measure HRR when you
are exercising with your heart rate being at least 80% of your maximum heart rate for
a minimum of ten minutes. The measurement starts when a change from high intensity
activity (running or cycling) to low intensity activity (walking or other) is registered.
The watch can detect these activities automatically or you can indicate them yourself
(see ‘activity recognition’). To obtain an estimate of HRR sit down immediately after
stopping your activity and then rest for at least 2 minutes to let your heart rate recover.
To make HRR estimates better comparable over time, try to estimate HRR in similar
settings with respect to: time of day, type of activity and activity duration.

40 41

Important: Do not try to estimate your HRR if you are not very active or unaccustomed
to high intensity activity. To reduce the chance of injury during exercise please
read the information and follow the general recommendations (see ‚GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS‘).

Heart rate measurement

Optical heart rate measurement has been shown to provide valid estimates of heart rate
for most people under most normal conditions. However, for accurate measurement it is
reliant on three key factors:

- Placement of the sensor in direct contact with the skin.

- Transmittance of light through the skin.

- Sucient blood ow through the skin.

ENGLISH

Note: When experiencing problems with your heart rate measurements, check if your
problem is already mentioned in the troubleshooting chapter or contact your Philips
Consumer Care center.

Heart rate zones

Heart rate zones span the range between your resting heart rate and your maximum
heart rate and can help you in identifying the intensity of your exercise.

Your heart rate zone is displayed in your heart rate screen. The dot indicates in which
heart rate zone you are exercising. If you have set a target heart rate zone in the app,
this zone is displayed in black (Fig. 12).

- Heart rate zone 1 - Light:

This zone mostly covers regular daily activities such as leisurely strolls, moving
around or performing easy tasks within your house or workplace.

42 43

- Heart rate zone 2 - Moderate:

Activities that get your heart rate to zone 2 include brisk walking, hiking, leisurely
biking and swimming. During such moderate intensity activities, your breathing is
often deep and you usually start to sweat after ten minutes.

- Heart rate zone 3 -High:

Training in this zone will help you get tter. It may also improve your cardiovascular
system and help you control your weight.

- Heart rate zone 4 - Anaerobic:

You’ll be in this highest zone only for brief periods of time, as anaerobic exercise
consists of bursts of high-intensity activity such as sprinting, interval training and
heavy weight-lifting.

ENGLISH

Sleep

The Philips health watch is designed to also be worn at night to allow automatic sleep
tracking. If you are interested in collecting more sleep related information (for example
the time to fall asleep), you can manually start the sleep mode when you intend to fall
asleep, and stop the sleep mode at the moment of waking up in the morning.

To activate sleep mode select Sleep from the menu and press the play icon. The watch
will automatically estimate the moment when you actually fall asleep. Press the stop
icon when you wake up without the intention to resume sleep.
If you wake up in the middle of the night and get out of bed, you do not have to turn o
sleep mode, the watch will automatically account for this. In case you have also set an
alarm, stopping the alarm will also indicate that you have woken up and stop sleep mode.
Data about your sleep will appear in the app within a few hours after you have woken up.

Note: Activation of sleep mode deactivates Bluetooth and sedentary alerts.

44 45

Food intake

This option allows you to manually track your calorie intake in kilocalories directly on
your watch.

Select the food option in the main menu. You have two options:

- The rst screen shows Food. Enter the Food intake menu by tapping the ‚>‘ icon.
Tap the arrows at the bottom of the screen to select breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks
or snacks to enter your food intake. Indicate the amount of food by selecting small,
normal or large (an average number of calories is assigned).

- Swipe to the second page in the food menu which shows the calories you‘ve logged
today (in kcal). In this screen, tap on the ‚+‘ icon to add calories manually. Tap and
hold + or - to enter the desired amount of calories. Then select the check icon to
conrm the amount of calories.

ENGLISH

Tip: In the app you can select a type of food and corresponding amount of calories in
the food database.

Activity

The Philips health watch can help you gain insight into your activity level by measuring
several parameters such as: calorie burn, steps, active minutes, sedentary behavior, heart
rate and heart rate zones. For explanation about heart rate zones, see ‚heart rate‘ chapter.

Activity recognition

Electromagnetic environment – guidance

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer
to any part of the device, including cables, than the recommended separation
distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance

d = 1.17 √P 80 MHz to 800 Mhz
d = 2.33 √P 800 MHz to 2,5 GHz

ENGLISH

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from xed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site
survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. Interference
may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast
and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the

78 79

device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the Medical device

The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the device as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
