Basics

Introduction

Your SmartBand 2 is a companion product that connects wirelessly via Bluetooth®
with Android™ devices. Worn on your dominant wrist, it can monitor your body
movements and interact with your Android™ device to generate data about your daily
life and habits. For example, the SmartBand 2 counts your steps and records data
about your physical state while you sleep, walk or run.

Your SmartBand 2 is a device you can wear everyday and features a sensor that
monitors your pulse and helps determine your heart rate. Together with the Lifelog
application, you can set personal goals and then track your progress in a
comprehensive and easily viewable format. When used with a compatible Android™
device, you can use the SmartBand 2 to receive notifications and manage your
alarms and phone calls.

Before you can get started using your SmartBand 2, you must download the
SmartBand 2 application and set up the accessory to work with your phone or tablet.
Refer to the relevant setup information for more details. Also, remember that your
Android™ device must run the Android™ software version 4.4 or higher and support
the Bluetooth® version 4.0 profile.
