Maintaining Water and
DustResistance
Note: Water-resistant and dustproof based on
IP68rating, which tests submersion up to
5.0 feet for up to 30 minutes.
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection
rating system.
Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust resistant
in certain circumstances (meets requirements of
classification IP68 as described by the international
standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C,
86-106 kPa, 5 feet, for 30minutes). Despite this
classification, your device is not impervious to
water damage in any situation. It is important that all
compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.
• Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth.
• Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized
water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than
30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh
water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If
the device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh
water, rinse the device with fresh water immediately
and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it
as instructed may cause the device to suffer from
operability or cosmetic issues.
• Do not expose the device to water at high pressure,
such as ocean waves or a waterfall.
• If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the
water and dust resistant features of the device may
be damaged.
• The touchscreen and other features may not work
properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids.

Before You Start Exercising
This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While
moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, is
safe for most people, health experts suggest that you
talk with your doctor before you start an exercise
program, particularly if you have any of the following
conditions:
• Heart disease;
• Asthma or lung disease;
• Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;
• Arthritis.
S Health
112
Applications S Health
You should also check with your doctor if you have
symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious
disease, such as:
• Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms
during physical activity;
• Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or
when lying down or going to bed;
• Ankle swelling, especially at night;
• A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced
heartbeat;
• Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that
goes away when you rest.
Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine
recommends that you see your doctor before
engaging in vigorous exercise if two or more of the
following apply:
• You are a man older than age 45 or a woman older
than age 55;
• You have a family history of heart disease before
age 55;
• You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;
• You have not exercised for three months or more;
• You are overweight or obese;
• You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol;
• You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called
prediabetes.
When in Doubt — Check It Out
If you are unsure of your health status, have several
health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak
with your doctor before starting a new exercise
program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is a
good way to plan an exercise program that is right and
safe for you. Consider it the first step on your path to
