Wearing the Galaxy Watch3 correctly

•When you activate the auto heart rate tracking feature, or when you start to use the exercise features, the Galaxy Watch3 will automatically track your heart rate. When measuring your heart rate, wear the Galaxy Watch3 snugly on your arm above your wrist as shown in the figure below.

<Rear>

Optical heart rate sensor

•If you fasten the Galaxy Watch3 too tightly, the skin irritation may occur and if you fasten it too loosely, friction may occur.

• Do not look directly at the optical heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your vision. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights.

•If your Galaxy Watch3 becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools. Exposing skin to a hot surface of the Galaxy Watch3 for a long time may cause skin burn.

Getting Started

•The accuracy of the optical heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on measurement conditions and surroundings.

•Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.

•Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.

•Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.

•Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.

•The signal may be affected by your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin, and the cleanliness of the sensor area. In addition, if your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements may be inaccurate.

•Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when the device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. If heart rate measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s optical

heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or wear the device on your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.

•If the optical heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions between the device’s band and your wrist, such as dirt or other objects may prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such obstructions before use.

•To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Galaxy Watch3, use the Ridge sport band. The Ridge sport band is sold separately.
