Do not expose your device to dust, dirt, or sand.
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch
your device off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference
or danger. When connecting the device or any accessory to another device, read
its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.

Implantable Medical Devices. A minimum separation of 6 inches (15.3 mm)
should be maintained between the device and an implantable medical device, such
as a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator, to avoid potential interference by the
device.

device.
The wearable device uses neodymium magnets to provide an easy connection to
supporting strap holders. The operation of heart pacemakers will be affected by the
close proximity of a magnet. Magnets can set a pacemaker working in a way that
is not suitable for the pacemaker user and that might affect their health. This
change will stop when the magnet is removed. The background to this is that
magnets are used to put pacemakers into a mode of working that does not respond
to the patient's own heart rhythm. Pacemaker clinics use magnets to change the
working of the pacemaker, to see how it is operating. Each pacemaker
manufacturer uses the 'magnet response' of a pacemaker in a different way, so it
is impossible to be more precise than the above statement. Some manufacturers
have a response that makes the pacemaker pace the heart at 100 beats-per-minute
or faster. The pacemaker will not usually synchronise with the natural heart beat
when a magnet is applied it is theoretically possible to trigger a life threatening
heart rhythm by doing so.

Persons who have such implantable medical devices:
o Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 mm) from their
implantable medical device when the device is turned ON;
o Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;
o Should immediately turn the device OFF if there is any reason to suspect
o Should immediately turn the device OFF if there is any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place;
Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless device using
medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless device using
magnets with an implantable medical device, consult your health care provider.
Other Medical Devices. If you use any other personal medical devices, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information. Immediately turn the device OFF if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place. Switch your wireless device off in health care facilities
when any regulation posted in these areas instructs you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.

Vehicles. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding using your wireless device in a motor vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle. Immediately turn the device OFF if there is any reason to suspect that
representative regarding using your wireless device in a motor vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle. Immediately turn the device OFF if there is any reason to suspect that
